In this article, I would like to show you the power and beauty of the nano console text editor, simple and inconspicuous at first glance.
Entry
In fact, the developers have prepared a lot of useful things for you, which you may not even be aware of, for example: auto-indentation, switching to a pair of brackets, and even auto-substitution! Let's go in order.
Standard hotkeys
M - modifier key (Alt by default); ^ - Control;
Selection with Shift+Arrow.

Hope I didn't forget anything...
configs
Let's get down to the sweetest thing ... Agree that without editing configs, Linux is no longer Linux.
So, the main config is in /etc/nanorc, for syntax highlighting - in /usr/share/nano/*
Basically, you can do a lot of interesting things,
for example| set autoindent | Π²ΠΊΠ»ΡΡΠ°Π΅Ρ Π°Π²ΡΠΎΠΎΡΡΡΡΠΏΡ
| set backup | Π²ΠΊΠ»ΡΡΠ°Π΅Ρ ΡΠΎΠ·Π΄Π°Π½ΠΈΠ΅ ΡΠ΅Π·Π΅ΡΠ²Π½ΡΡ
ΠΊΠΎΠΏΠΈΠΉ
| set mouse | Π²ΠΊΠ»ΡΡΠ°Π΅Ρ ΠΏΠΎΠ΄Π΄Π΅ΡΠΆΠΊΡ ΠΌΡΡΠΈ (Ρ Π½Π΅ΠΉ Π³ΠΎΡΠ°Π·Π΄ΠΎ ΡΠ΄ΠΎΠ±Π½Π΅ΠΉ)
| set multibuffer | ΡΠ°Π·ΡΠ΅ΡΠ°Π΅Ρ ΠΊΠΎΠΏΠΈΠΏΠ°ΡΡ ΠΈΠ· ΠΎΠ΄Π½ΠΎΠ³ΠΎ ΡΠ°ΠΉΠ»ΠΎΠ²ΠΎΠ³ΠΎ Π±ΡΡΠ΅ΡΠ°(Π²ΠΊΠ»Π°Π΄ΠΊΠΈ) nano Π² Π΄ΡΡΠ³ΠΎΠΉ
| set nohelp | Π²ΡΠΊΠ»ΡΡΠ°Π΅Ρ ΠΏΠΎΠ΄ΡΠΊΠ°Π·ΠΊΠΈ ΡΠ½ΠΈΠ·Ρ, ΡΠ²Π΅Π»ΠΈΡΠΈΠ²Π°Ρ ΠΏΠΎΠ»Π΅Π·Π½ΠΎΠ΅ ΠΏΡΠΎΡΡΡΠ°Π½ΡΡΠ²ΠΎ
| set tabsize N | ΡΡΡΠ°Π½Π°Π²Π»ΠΈΠ²Π°Π΅Ρ ΡΠ°Π·ΠΌΠ΅Ρ ΡΠ°Π±ΡΠ»ΡΡΠΈΠΉ N
|set tabstospaces| ΠΊΠΎΠ½Π²Π΅ΡΡΠΈΡΡΠ΅Ρ ΡΠ°Π±ΡΠ»ΡΡΠΈΠΈ Π² ΠΏΡΠΎΠ±Π΅Π»Ρ
| bind|unbind | ΠΈΠ·ΠΌΠ΅Π½ΡΠ΅Ρ Π³ΠΎΡΡΡΠΈΠ΅ ΠΊΠ»Π°Π²ΠΈΡΠΈ
In the config for the syntax, you can set / change colors
Ρolor <Π½Π°Π·Π²Π°Π½ΠΈΠ΅ ΡΠ²Π΅ΡΠ°> <"ΡΠ΅Π³ΡΠ»ΡΡΠ½ΠΎΠ΅ Π²ΡΡΠ°ΠΆΠ΅Π½ΠΈΠ΅">
Although it will be better if you yourself plunge into it and do everything as you need.
By the way, it is better to copy the necessary configs to your home folder so that they are not overwritten after each update.
Conclusion
As you can see, nano has a fairly rich functionality and is easy to deeply customize for yourself.
Good luck!
