    I thought nano was the text-editor to change sources.list so you could install a neovim.

    @hcaz if you open vim without any parameters, it opens the how-to. It's pretty straightforward once you memorize the commands. I enjoy it. I find myself hitting ESC :w when in other editors, though.

    I would use NANO if the line scroling would work the same, for example it shouldnt break the line if you reach the end... So i use vim.

    @sheeponmeth that's a good point I've heard it's well documented, I just feel I've gone so long without it now haha. I'll check it out when I get a free minute :)

    @hcaz Check it out when you get a free hour or two. It takes time to build a vim workflow. I'm still a newb and figuring things out despite having used it for a couple's months now.

    @sheeponmeth I'll give it ago over the weekend then, but I'm blaming you if vim makes me cry:P
