alias ed=$EDITOR

Extremely convenient on a qwerty keyboard.

This should probably be a default nowadays. Does even a single person here use the real ed ?

alias ed=$EDITOR is my most used alias by far.

ganis :

git add -A && sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure -j$(nproc)

Everyone who uses nixos probably has a similar alias set x)

Does Micro have normal keyboard shortcuts instead of the weird ones from nano ?

I don’t like M$, but this is my new number one recommendation for new programmers. It gets them to stay within the command line, while having the normal shortcuts they’re used to from using a computer already.

I love Vim, but it’s a chore to learn when you’re also learning programming on top. Emacs is even worse, it tricks you by being a non-modal GUI, but your keyboard shortcuts all do something new and slightly insane now.
