vnano

Mighty nano inside a vim.

I initially wrote this for a parody hackathon, and now I just want to see how far I can go with this.

vim8 support blog post

Features

• Looks like GNU nano
• Various nano shortcuts/features
• No Normal/Insert mode

Requirements

• neovim/vim8 (terminal support abused to replicate nano interface)
• python (should work with 2 or 3, I only test it on py3 nowadays)

Installation

RHEL8

sudo yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install -y neovim python3-neovim

Clone the repo to /opt

cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/Network-Ansible/vnano.git

Alias to .bashrc

source ~/.bashrc
