4 Linux terminal text editors I use instead of nano

Even if you tend to avoid the Linux terminal, chances are, at some point, you will have to edit a text file within the terminal. By default, pretty much every Linux distribution uses the ‘nano’ text editor. It’s entirely keyboard-driven and uses some old-school shortcuts from the 1990s. Those shortcuts are counter-intuitive for me and I just don’t want to bother learning them anyway. I have two choices here: learn something like Vim, which would take even longer, or use a more modern alternative of ‘nano.’ I went with the second option and tested a lot of console text editors. These are my favorites.
