How to show all lines in nano linux
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have a VPS with Ubuntu running on it. I have a text file I opened with nano. However there are too many lines there and only the first 20 or so lines get displayed. After those 20 lines is this:
How do I make it display the rest? I can jump to some line using Ctrl+_, but I'd rather have the whole file displayed so I could scroll my way through it.
command-line nano

Use the <up> and <down> arrow keys - it's magic & scrolls (nano is not my favorite editor, but you chose it)

@guiverc Do you mean Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down or simply Up and Down? Which editor would you recommend?

@guiverc Thank you for the answer. Currently all command line editors feel foreign to me and I'm constantly afraid to screw things up. But I'll check outvim.

If your Terminal window is small, large text will certainly get truncated. You can either use ↑ (upwards arrow) / ↓ (downwards arrow) keys or your mouse scroll wheel to scroll up or down to view the truncated part.
Alt+X toggles the display of the two last lines that display the functions of the hotkeys. Turning this off will help preserving some screen real estate for text.
