sudo nano

You shouldn't really use editor with sudo, but instead use sudoedit to edit files restricted to root user

SUDO_EDITOR=nano sudoedit /etc/fstab

This accomplishes the same function while running the text editor as unprivileged user

Alternatively you could use my favorite approach, Visual Studio Code. Just open the file with it, edit it and upon saving you will be promoted if the file needs admin rights to save.

Okay but how can I show how good I am with shortcuts to edit legacy software ?

Vscode does have a lot of shortcuts, so you could always study them in detail and impress others that way. 😅
