nano : friendly editor for shell newbie
I’m familiar with ee (easy editor) that not available in hosting account, they provide vi and nano.
First time I use it I think nano is very good to help newbie user like me for editing little file such wp-config.php
Here’s how :
mv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
nano wp-config.php
edit things as I use notepad, when I need to save I type :
CTRL + o , this will save permanently
CTRL + x , exit from editor
use CTRL + e to go to end of line.
Simple and neat, those command available at the bottom :
^G Get Help ^O WriteOut ^R Read File ^Y Prev Page ^K Cut Text ^C Cur Pos
^X Exit ^J Justify ^W Where Is ^V Next Page ^U UnCut Txt ^T To Spell
Yes, ^ is equal to CTRL button in my keyboard.
