AWS Lightsail Linux - Can't exit Nano

It's impossible to exit nano under Lightsail. Typing Ctrl+X or Ctrl+Shift+X simply types an X on the screen.

In fact, typing Ctrl+ anything just types the letter, making nano effectively useless.

How are you connected to your server? Are you running an SSH connection from your server terminal or are you using a third-party program?

Hi Gonzalo,

I'm using Amazon Lightsail's Connect Using SSH button which opens a terminal window in the browser.

Connecting from a regular Linux console via SSH is no problem, it's just on the virtual console -- which is convenient to use if I'm away from the office.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi @geoff2,

Could you contact Amazon with this issue? It seems due to the Ctrl button key binding. Did you try from another machine as well?

Regards,
Michiel
