#### Demonstrating how to edit a text file
258+
259+
When showing how to edit `index.md` for the first time, Nano is the most convenient editor to use – you don't have to leave the shell and it should work for everyone – but few learners will be fully confident with it. Take them step-by-step through one of the two ways of saving and closing the file:
260+
261+
- **Ctrl + X** to close the file; **Y** to save the file; **Enter** to keep the same filename.
262+
- **Ctrl + O** to save the file; **Enter** to keep the same filename; **Ctrl + X** to close the file.
263+
264+
You could also keep a file manager window open (e.g. File Explorer, Finder, Files/Nautilus, Dolphin) to demonstrate locating the file and opening it in a suitable GUI text editor. Look out for learners who need help with this.
