I've randomly opened the changelog for nano (the text editor that usually is pre-installed on Linux but unlike vim you can exit it) and behold, there is now a flag to make it use hotkeys that we all used to!
The --modernbindings flag makes ctrl+C to copy, ctrl+V to paste, ctrl+Z to undo, ctrl+Q to exit, etc. No ctrl+S to save, though.
