I don't know why Micro hasn't completely replaced Nano in the Linux world.
Wait, yes I do.
Despite believing it to be better in every way, my dumb fingers keep automatically reaching for the Nano keyboard shortcuts.
You know what the key combo is to copy a selection of text in Micro?
Ctrl C, why would it ever be anything else?

Fucking shift, alt, 6. 6!!
And then Ctrl U to paste. I hate that I'm used to that.
Never heard of that key combo in nano before, I've always used ctrl-K (which actually cuts, then I have to paste it back again if I want to leave that text in place).
[Edit] Looks like you only need to hit alt-6, not shift-alt-6, to copy a full line or whatever text has been highlighted.

Huh, I wonder where I got the shift from. Still kinda bonkers though.
It's because of what ctrl+c does in most terminals
