I need to copy some text in Nano, so I searched using Google and found a few posts here on Stack Exchange and other sites in which the OP asks "How can I copy?" and people usually answer "You can use ctrl+K". The person asks how to copy and they are told how to cut.
Other answers mention alt+6 but in my testing it doesn't work.
Is there no option to copy text in Nano? Is there a workaround?
I am trying to install Java via the terminal using the guide How to Install Oracle Java JRE on Ubuntu Linux.
Everything went perfectly fine until "Step 11: Save the /etc/profile file and exit":
I spent maybe 30 minutes figuring out what ^ means (apparently Ctrl), but I cannot understand how that guy called the save command where you can choose yes and no.
I did try ^O, but I didn't get the same result as he did. How can I fix this problem?
Can nano do syntax highlighting like gedit and vim? How can I enable it? I need at least bash and python syntax highlights.
Is there a way to tell nano to automatically show line numbering each time I open a file?
