Thank you, thank you! I don’t hate nano, but it’s such an wrench to edit everything in vi, then have to suddenly adapt to using nano just for crontab.

I notice that the first time you run crontab in Ubuntu 9.04 it asks you which editor you want to set as the default (and point to nano as being the “easiest”). So at least some sanity there.

Thanks man. One of those things that you think would be easy to edit in a configuration file. I, too, prefer the vi editor, not nano.

Loved nano for awhile, until I realized the true power of vi

Thanks for the tip, although I also much prefer nano as my default editor.

Thank you, vi has been bugging me for a while. Just changed to nano!
