MX on Linux: Difference between revisions

After typing the nano command you need to specify a filename (it might include a path, see previousearlier sub-section for use of '''/''' and '''~''') and there are examples later in this article, but if you decide to ''host a web site on your Pi'' then you might want to edit its home page with (.html or .php) name like <tt>sudo nano /var/www/html/index.php</tt>. After you have made an alteration to the current contents of the file, various options are shown at the bottom. Here are two key ones:

*Another is '''^X''' which means if you press the control key down and type X you get the exit dialogue. If you have not made any edits, or have already saved the file, this just exits the editor. If you have not used control and O to save the file, it asks whether you want to save the edited file (type '''Y'''), althoughtyping just the Y carrieskey on,lets save continue (any other key stroke cancelsexits without saving), then it shows the current file name, if you press '''Enter''' then that file will be overwritten.
