It shows a message which wastes valuable screen estate, especially on low resolution terminals, containing a message I have to read every single time because the keys are not in muscle memory, and never will because the bindings are stupid.
On systems I have control over the reaction to nano popping up is exiting, removing it, making sure the package system blocks reinstallation attempts, and go back to what I was initially doing in a sane editor.
It doesn’t have to be X, just the fact that it uses modifier keys is enough. It could be Q or anything else, just please, for the love of god, we live in the 21st century now, all keyboards have modifier keys, please, add modifier keys shortcuts as well.
I don’t do that much search and replace in any terminal based text editor to actually use that on a regular basis. If I need edits like that, I use a GUI text editor.
I always get annoyed when I’m on some system and nano pops up and I need to figure out how to kill that thing.
Nano literally tells you all the shortcuts to your face.

You have so much pent up emotion over a text editor. Life can be so much more my friend!
First day on linux?
You know the bell curve meme? I’m just beyond this.
Very intuitive - Ctrl + X… unlike vim.
Why is Ctrl-X intuitive? Shouldn’t it be Ctrl-Q (for “quit”)?
CTRL+eXit
In most apps, Ctrl-X means “cut”, not “quit”. Especially when it’s a freakin’ text editor!
I will grant you that it’s more intuitive than vi, but that is a very, very low bar.

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.
Because nano just shows how to exit, as well as some other basic functions at bottom
gg/un2x?-d/like
FTFY
I’m not planning on googling that 😒.
result: Very intuitive like vim.
gg- top of the file/un- find “un” place cursor at u2x- remove 2 characters?-- search backwards for the character-d/like- delete everything up until the characterslikeSee, intuitive!

Sure, I just hate moving from mouse to keyboard every few seconds as I code.
