I rememeber reading in the newspaper a woman got caught stealing a

had the glass CRT - so heavy and almost a cube.

Ctrl_Z might be useful: in LibreOffice it will clear the last 'section' entered, though sometmes I'm not sure what it considers a section so may have to Ctrl_Z more than once.

CTRL-Z is called Undo.

That'll work! Nano, a terminal editor in Linux, uses ^K to Kill a line
and ^U to paste it back in, or Undo. ...With the BBS stuff on Virtual Windows I use SEdit for the word processor and ^Y is the line killer and
^U is Undo. -- Have to be careful to remember where one is!!

Can you use that key sequence to effectively cut and paste the text
elsewhere, or does the ^U always put it back in the place where it was
killed from?

I used to know nano pretty well when it was the default editor for email
and news postings on my old shell account ~30 years ago. I am trying to relearn it now. ;)

From my limited experience it's always the line the cursor is on. The
thing to watch is sometimes there seem to be two cursors: thea real one
and the one where I think I am because I moved some place. Not sure how
to explain it but I've managed to do the I thought I was here thing.

To move a line I've ^K (kills/deletes the whole line), then move to
desired location and ^U to insert there.

I've also done a ^K^U^U sequence: kills the line, replaces it and then
places it immediately underneath (the result is two duplicate lines).
For me handy when playing with stuff like fstab and scripts where I want
a copy of the original line (for comparison, history) and modify the new
one.

Example:
# RAM drive of 50 MB
# tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk tmpfs rw,size=50M 0 0
tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk tmpfs rw,size=5G 0 0

50 Mb wprked but not large enough. G option should work - yup! If
didn't easy enough to go back.

I used to know nano pretty well when it was the default editor
for email and news postings on my old shell account ~30 years
ago. I am trying to relearn it now. ;)

It should come back like riding a bike: scraped kneeds and all! <bseg>

Expand the Terminal screen to larger/full size: there are a whole bunch
of other options!

^W "Where" -- how-come not ^F for "Find"? I sort of use Where's
Waldo to remind me of W

For line numbering it's something like ALT_Shift_# (or 3) -- I don't
use it that often. Have found sometimes the line numbers in an error
message don't line up. 'Error line 30' might not be close, but could be because I tend to use a lot of comments, separators (series of
##########), and blank lines -- just to make it more readable.

When I need a text editor, I like Kate, or KWrite (same program, simpler interface).

Or the text editor that comes with the Xfe file manager, that's nice
too. (I like Xfe, except it can't see network drives.)

Xfe has a root mode (runs as a separate instance) and you can set colors different from user mode, so you're reminded that you're one or the other.

There is also a Mark function used to copy/move large portions. I cheat
a bit and do a multiline ^K followed by a single ^U which pastes in the several lines.

desired location and ^U to insert there.

*blink* They have reinvented edlin.

Might be a distant cousin with a better eductaion. If anything improved:
I remember used EDLIN on my DEC Rainbow 100 to type a letter or notes: no
line wrap so if need to add a character it either truncated or one ended
up with an orphaned line if the original line went past the right margin.

<runs away screaming>

Anyone else visualizing Barry Goldberg (from _The Goldbergs_) running?!

When I need a text editor, I like Kate, or KWrite (same program,
simpler interface).

Possibly good, no personal experience. One little detail on nano is apparently it is popular with the people setting up configurations. If something to be configured the first time (like cron ==> crontab -e) a
popup will occur asking in one wants to use nano, vi, or some a third
option which I don't recall right now. If I were to use text editors a
lot I'd probably be familiar with nano because it is used for
configurations and also one more complex like your Kate.

Or the text editor that comes with the Xfe file manager, that's
nice too. (I like Xfe, except it can't see network drives.)

So nearighted? Only see drives close by?!

Xfe has a root mode (runs as a separate instance) and you can set
colors different from user mode, so you're reminded that you're
one or the other.

That is handy. I've sort of used that visual cue to remind me which
computer I'm on when I remote in (Remmina. TigerVNC) by changing the
Desktop picture.

I had to check! I have inserted/deleted items because I thought the
cursor was one place and actually another. (For instance can highlight
as if getting ready to cut or copy but won't do it because the cursor is
still elsewhere where I left it last. -- I really should check out if
that function exists but first!)

The answer to your question is 'yes': a Ctrl C willpop up a display
telling which line the cursor is on and at wha percentage of the file
that is (47%, for example).

nano's help display is quite extensive! Now if I could only remmeberit

Not CTRL C.
Just Pressing and releasing one of the CTRL keys does it for me on the XP box

Hope what you learned from using CTRL C helps you keep track of where the Cursor is AND keeps you out of trouble

There are some 'features' in this Android phone that I find hard to adjust to. IT remembering what was on the last web page when I exited the Firefox browser. i.e. When I click the Weather bookmark in Firefox IT loads the last weather data from the last time I looked at that.
I hafta press the 3 vertical dots and tap the circle to refresh the page to get the the current report.

I am slowly adjusting to what IT expects of me to do.

First C=64, then 486DX33, XP and Vista and now this THING tries to keep Me humble.
But I still turn those things on when I want them to abuse Me.

So much to learn since 1984..

Hi Ed!

I had to check! I have inserted/deleted items because I thought the
cursor was one place and actually another. (For instance can highlight
as if getting ready to cut or copy but won't do it because the cursor is still elsewhere where I left it last. -- I really should check out if
that function exists but first!)
The answer to your question is 'yes': a Ctrl C willpop up a display
telling which line the cursor is on and at wha percentage of the file
that is (47%, for example).

Not CTRL C.
Just Pressing and releasing one of the CTRL keys does it for me
on the XP box

You forgot I'm using Ubuntu (Linux) and you're using XP (Windows). And
then I checked on my Virtual XP machine (the one I'm using currently)
and 'nano' is not installed. I don't know if was an option.

Hope what you learned from using CTRL C helps you keep track of
where the
Cursor is AND keeps you out of trouble

Now that second part is asking a lot! <g>

There are some 'features' in this Android phone that I find hard
to adjust to.
IT remembering what was on the last web page when I exited the
Firefox
browser.i.e. When I click the Weather bookmark in Firefox IT
loads the last
weatherdata from the last time I looked at that.
I hafta press the 3 vertical dots and tap the circle to refresh
the page to
get the the current report.

IRC in Firefox's Settings (probably the Browsing section though I didn't
see what I was looking for) is an option to open the last site you were looking at. ...Seems like that should referesh your data so you might
see the old data for a half-second while the new data is being
downloaded.

I am slowly adjusting to what IT expects of me to do.

The machines are training the humans! <g>

First C=64, then 486DX33, XP and Vista and now this THING tries
to keep Me
humble.
But I still turn those things on when I want them to abuse Me.

Like having a friend with an annoying habit: there are enough positives
to override the negatives.

So much to learn since 1984..

The book or the year?!

Cache settings. It can check for a new version every time you visit the
page, when the page is changed, or never. If you're seeing an old page,
you may have it set to never.

Yes. :) At least don't get our heads bitten off for saying something wrong/incorrect. I participate in a few forums with similar qualities;
I will admit to watching my phrasing; I recently posted a question in an
Ubuntu site and sort of emphasized I probably was using the correct term
to explain what I wanted to do. I wasn't and got gently corrected.

The linux world is no longer mostly snotty teenagers. Discourse has
matured along with the aging users. Well, mostly; some are still picking
their noses. :O

Well sure: plastic surgery is expensive and if I were to get a nose job
I would be taking my time with the decision!
