How to exit nano and save to current file automatically?
Whenever I close nano
after having edited an existing file, it first asks if I'd like to save the file (which is fine), and then asks me to confirm the filename (so I press Enter, since literally 100% of the time I want to keep the same filename).
So I'm wondering, is there any shortcut I can use to avoid having to confirm the filename every time?
Solution 1:
According to Nano manual
You can configure ~/.nanorc
to Save automatically on exit, don't prompt
($:~)=> nano -w ~/.nanorc
# Save automatically on exit, don't prompt
set tempfile
Note: as @cutrightjm commented - the above setting can cause major problems in configurations if you are not careful and modify files and auto-save on exit.
