Because it also sends the kill signal in every terminal I’ve witnessed yet… And you have it right on screen the second you start Nano.

I’m over here using Ctrl c all over the place to kill stuff…

Can you please elaborate on the first part? It is not standard Linux terminal behavior to send the KILL signal on Ctrl+X.

Actually, you are right. I will stand by my point that Nano tells you what to press, but I wonder where I got the stuff about Ctrl+X… I am very positive that I have used it at some point (outside of Nano), but maybe my brain is playing tricks on me 🤔
