Haha very true, if micro was the default, many people coming from common GUI apps would be like “okay, ctrl z to undo” and “ctrl s to save” “wow, it actually worked”

Absolutely. It would make sense as the default instead of nano (or vim of all things). Would help those who are just starting with Linux.

Def! I sort of wish the RFC committee would push standards for smart cross-platform shortcuts. Of course people with muscle memory in a different standard should be able to change for their usage, but even GUI apps like vscode, sublime text, IntelliJ, etc could benefit from standardization there

Nano has supported Ctrl+S to save for a while.

True, but one keyboard shortcut doesn’t make for an easy transition. Unless nano is has implemented or is planning on implementing on ctrl o,z,f,y,q etc
