“Sane” keybindings are questionable given Ctrl’s location (painful to press with both pinky and thumb fingers). It’s standard, I’ll give it that, but those in helix or vim are mostly (I’m looking at you, navigation between splits) much saner all things considered
Ctrl-X Ctrl-V in micro, if you appreciate a sane editor with sane keybindings.

or maps your caps to Ctrl, like vim users map it to esc
Or build yourself a crkbd, yeah. That’s beside the point.
Which is exactly where Sun Unix keyboards place it, in a same spot
That’s cool, and I can’t wait for it to gain widespread adoption, but nano is already more commonly installed by default.
How does micro compare to nano?
It’s 1,000 times larger.
oh, you…
better ootb experience with syntax highlighting, sane keybindings, plugin system, and other little things nano lacks.
Nano has had syntax highlighting for quite a while.
Its keybindings also make sense if your brain is still stuck in the '90s. If not, they’re literally printed at the bottom of the terminal.
If I need plugins, I’m not gonna be fucking around with a terminal text editor.
What are these “other little things?” Certainly not “probably already installed on your system.”
ah the cope
Oh, the irony.
