Re: [Help-nano] How to quit nano

[Chris Allegetta]

The default exit sequence in nano control-x.  If nano's keys have been  
rebound via the .nanorc or you changed your keyboard mapping then I  
cannot help, but the default is control-x.  If you have modified the  
file it will ask you when you exit whether you wish to save those  
changes.

Have a nice day and thank you for using nano.
