Why are they using weird key combinations instead of traditional Ctrl + S, Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C used in desktop applications? Why every console program wants to be a special snowflake and not use standard key combinations, please explain. I do not care that 40 years ago someone used Ctrl + C to send SIGINT, it is 2026 now.
Atto's default key bindings match Emacs, which is about as standard as you get for non-modal editing keys in older Unix traditions.

You might enjoy the new Microsoft Edit [1].
I think you're underestimating just how "standard" many of the shortcuts are when mapped against a standard shell.

Not "40 years ago". Non-stop all day every day for 55 years.
The fact that you personally don't use it today is as irrelevant as if you were ranting about "why doesn't Linux have a Start menu!? It's 2026!!!"
How is Ctrl+S "more traditional" than C-x C-s? C-x C-s is like 50 years old by now. Surely that qualifies as "traditional".
These key combinations have been used for 50 years, so I'm not sure why you call them non-standard. They're just a different standard from what you're used to.
That sounds like Emacs. Wouldn't know though, given that I dislike vim too.
I would prefer ms-edit or nano if I have to edit text files from the terminal.

Because this isn't beginner friendly it's a new micro Emacs and those are standard libreadline/emacs bindings.
