Ctrl-/

... and if you don't like that horrible subversion of what a vi-user might expect to be the search feature*, there's also Meta-G, which is slightly more similar to vi's usage.

You can also nano +L[,C] filename on the command line replacing L and C with respective line and column number, which I believe is a feature borrowed from vi.

*The search feature is Ctrl-W for "where is". Firefox users use this in the wrong window at their peril (it closes the current window). Find and replace is on Ctrl-\, which is even more of a subversion.

I can use vi, but still prefer nano.

Not just firefox. Also chrome, and a lot of other programs that implement tabs like file managers and things like that. It's one of those almost universal shortcuts, like Ctrl+F or Ctrl+L

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
