Changing from a distro that defaults to nano to another that defaults to vim... What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?

I also like the multiple cursor approach it has to editing.

You do!? I cannot STAND it! Am I using it wrong? C to add another cursor on the line below but only if it already has a character in that column. It seems strictly worse than VIM's visual line selection with V.

    For use cases like that it's usually better to search a pattern and split it to cursors. Also using line selects helps.

    I remember being annoyed at what you said but I guess I was overusing C for new cursors when there were other ways to do what I needed because I don't have that often now
