I almost feel like this a somewhat pointless feature. It’s almost easier to just learn the default ones as opposed to adding “-modernbindings” or creating an “enano” variant/copy.

      ^S for unprompted save is in the default keybinds, not that I could say when it was added. (Pretty sure it wasn’t a pico thing, but that leaves quite a bit of time unaccounted for.)

      Muscle memory for other editors kicked in when I was editing something and did a literal slow realisation and double-take when it worked.

      Now if only I could stop pressing ^W in Firefox to use nano’s “whereis” to find something that’d be great.

      For those unaware, it closes the current tab. Or the whole browser. Ugh.

        :GASP: ^S does save! I have played myself for a fool all these years!!

        Now I just have to unlearn ^X, Y, enter. . . :thisisfine:

        Firefox desperately needs a way to customize keyboard shortcuts, especially to disable them. Shortkeys isn’t really enough.

          True. Other tools include: Ctrl+Shift+N to bring back a closed window if there’s another window of the same browser instance still open, and when there isn’t, there’s Restore Previous Session which is accessible a couple of ways.

          Neither bring back the comment that was being typed in a textbox on the page though. Guess when I usually ^W

      True, I remember the first time I used nano, I was like “Ctrl + O to save, huh?”

        ^S works!! …As revealed by our kind palindromic friend on the other sibling comment! Why they don’t just list it on the statusbar we would never know!

          Probably because Ctrl+S is the shortcut for scroll lock on the terminal so it can be a bit problematic if you start using it when not in nano. It freezes the output and you have to use Ctrl+Q to unlock.
