Description

Nano is a small and simple text editor for use on the terminal. It copied the interface and key bindings of the Pico editor but added several missing features: undo/redo, syntax highlighting, line numbers, softwrapping, multiple buffers, search-and-replace with regular expressions, and several other conveniences.
