Make nano the default editor
Summary
vim is powerful. nano is simple. Let's use nano as the default editor across all of Fedora.
Owner
- Name: Chris Murphy
- Email: chrismurphy@fedoraproject.org
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 33
- Last updated: 2020-06-12
- FESCo issue: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
- Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
nano is already installed across most Fedora Editions and Spins. This proposal will make it the default editor, while continuing to install vim-minimal.
vim requires esoteric knowledge, or Googling, for common editing tasks: entering edit mode, saving, quitting. Let's leave such power in the hands of experts.
Feedback
Benefit to Fedora
- Makes the default editor across all of Fedora more approachable.
- Nano is also mostly self-documenting, by displaying common keyboard shortcuts on-screen).
- More in line with the default editor of other distributions.
Scope
- Proposal owners:
- Modify comps to include nano Fedora wide
- Create a package that provides /usr/bin/editor ... sprinkle on some magic and voila. Also include this package in comps.
