Comment from October 2001
editWhy not put some good/unique features of it on this page (ie. why do people use it)? Its just I never understood why people would use something not so far advanced from notepad to wirte with... Although I just realised that I'm writing in a textbox inside Explorer :-) --Na
- A history section could easily explain why Pico was used --Candide124 (talk) 08:53, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Pronunciation
editIs it PEA-ko or PIE-ko? It was made in Washington, so it uses standard american english. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:405:4202:C7F0:858D:C3A5:B37:C4B8 (talk) 17:05, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
Disputed
editThe claim that GNU Nano does not support the Home and End keys has not been true for a very long time. I use Nano on an almost daily basis, and the Home and End keys (along with the arrow keys) most definitely do work. Matt Whitlock (talk) 19:50, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
~~Well, it might count as original research, but a quick check reveals that that my Home and End keys certainly work in nano! (Really, this is such a trivial fact, I'm not sure how if could be verified without it being OR.) Milsgnome (talk) 22:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)~~
Here's a closed bug report that reports the issue as resolved: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=122815. I posted the wrong bug report in my edit comment; this one is the correct. Milsgnome (talk) 23:08, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Vi and Emacs
editMentioning vi and emacs is irrelevant to the article, It seems to me to be a plug for vi and emacs. It's possible to mention features pico doesn't exhibit without plugging other software. 82.38.204.141 (talk) 22:53, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
The Pine release has been suspended and now the Alpine version has taken over. Should an additional infobox be added to show the new release? Alpine is a rewrite of Pine by UW and it resets the version number cycle for itself, but alpine-2.00/pico/mswinver.c seems to give a version number of 5.4. -- Arthur2e5 Crap 17:34, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
The lede is incredibly biased...
editIt's straight up advertising for other editors, AND the nonsense about the GPL being "free". Last I checked, communism wasn't freedom, but slavery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:405:4202:C7F0:858D:C3A5:B37:C4B8 (talk) 17:07, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
