nano
nano is a
curses-based text editor. It is a clone of Pico, the editor of the Pine
email client.
The nano project was started in 1999 due to licensing issues
with the Pine
suite (Pine
was not distributed under a free software
license), and also because Pico lacked some essential features.
nano aims to emulate the functionality and easy-to-use
interface of Pico, while offering additional functionality, but without
the tight mailer integration of the
Pine/Pico
package.
nano, like Pico, is keyboard-oriented, controlled with control
keys.
