Notepad/Edit equivalent for Linux command line
- by Jason Kester
I'm looking for a simple text editor that I can use from the command line in Linux to edit files. I'm used to editing files in windows, so I'm looking for something with the same keyboard interface. That means:
SHIFT+Arrow Keys/PGUP/PGDN to select text
CTRL+C, CTRL+X, CTRL+V to copy/cut/paste
And that's pretty much it. Surprisingly I'm having a tough time finding something like this. Vi/emacs are naturally out. Nano comes close, but has its own non-standard cut/paste/select keyboard shortcuts.
Surely this thing exists somewhere. Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.
