      Vim has things like copy and paste, including being able to highlight text, search and replace, and I find its commands a lot less clunky than Nano’s. I am not a software developer or a sysadmin, just someone who uses Linux for fun. All of this stuff works without having X or Wayland running too.

      • Teleportation: the cursor can be teleport to any line without pressing down key multiple times…

      • Macro: for repeating a sequence of inputs multiple times…

      • Tabs: nano can’t open multiple files at once i believe…

      • Split screen(horizontal and vertical)

      • Themes and plugins

      These are a few that comes to mind…

      Reaching over to CTRL every time you want to copy some text, delete a word, delete the next character or perform any other basic edit starts to take a toll on your hands after 20 minutes
