| May 18, 2021 at 7:33 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Chameleon Most current Unix windowed applications use relatively recent (1990s+) GUI frameworks that have adopted the Windows shortcuts. Unix console applications mostly trace back their ancestry to the 1970s or 1980s before those shortcuts existed. | |
| May 17, 2021 at 22:23 | comment | added | Chameleon | @Gilles'SO-stopbeingevil' IBM, CUA, Microsoft, Linux NOT. So, why on X all applications work with Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V? I assume the same key combinations on console editors. | |

| Oct 4, 2012 at 14:25 | comment | added | jw013 | @Gilles I'm not entirely sure I agree with calling those shortcuts "Windows" shortcuts. Every common GUI application that does text editing uses those shortcuts on all the major platforms. Many of those shortcuts predate Windows as well. | |

| Oct 3, 2012 at 22:56 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | The shortcuts you're expecting are Microsoft's modifications on IBM's CUA guidelines. Neither CUA nor MS's modifications are traditional in the unix world. | |

| Oct 3, 2012 at 20:14 | comment | added | Greg Woods | @h3rrmiller Nano is my current choice. I didn't know about .nanorc. It may move nano closer to what I want. Thanks | |
| Oct 3, 2012 at 20:10 | comment | added | Greg Woods | @jasonwryan As an experienced Windows (or Mac) user, I already have the learning required to use a modern text editor using only the keyboard. I'd like to use that same experience in a Linux CLI tool. | |
| Oct 3, 2012 at 20:02 | comment | added | h3rrmiller | nano would be close. It wont have the exact same shortcuts but similar shortcuts to do the same operation. or you can create .nanorc and have custom shortcuts | |
| Oct 3, 2012 at 20:02 | comment | added | jasonwryan | "No learning required" sounds like an unusually restrictive (and possibly unrealistic) criterion especially as you are asking for a CLI tool... | |
