very good & thanks. I was thinking more of my earlier years pre-Windows
when we did a lot of command line work but we usually had a simple word
processor program that made it easier.
Sorry for calling you Dave -- old age setting in I think. Dan

Getting Started With Nano Text Editor [Beginner’s Guide]
by default linux/gnu wasn't made to come with a GUI... so relaying on that
solely is going to cause problems in the long run. Especially when alot of the
fixes and more advanced commands for linux will all require command line.. and
not be accessed via the GUI.. so having no CLI knowledge at all is just bad
practice when using linux.. in windows you never need to touch the command
windows.. in linux you have to every so often for a fix or to add a driver
manually or install a program.. but not everything will be accessible via a
GUI...

Dave,
Am I missing something?
As a beginner to Linux, why do I need to learn to use a terminal-based text
editor?
In the past whenever I needed to create or modify a text file, I would just use
my familiar word processor
and save my work in .txt to be copied wherever it was needed, be it to a
database, software programming, etc

[Beginner’s Guide]
[ https://www.nano-editor.org/ ;| Nano ] is the default [
https://itsfoss.com/command-line-text-editors-linux/ ;| terminal-based text
editor ] in Ubuntu and many other Linux distributions. Though it is less
complicated to use than the likes of [ https://www.vim.org/ ;| Vim ] and [
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ ;| Emacs ] , it doesn’t mean Nano cannot be
overwhelming to use.
In this beginner’s guide, I’ll show you how to use the Nano text editor. I am
also going to include a downloadable PDF cheat sheet at the end of the article
so that you can refer to it for practicing and mastering Nano editor commands.
If you are just interested in a quick summary of Nano keyboard shortcuts,
