You're assuming Linux. BSD distributions don't install nano by default. vi is a mandatory POSIX utility, nano is not.

This doesn't help the problem of knowing what to type on any system up-front, but fwiw, FreeBSD ships with a nano-like editor in the base install, ee(1).

And what about any of the other BSD? Or Solaris? Might as well bite the bullet and learn some basic POSIX vi (or ed).
