Most nano commands are invoked by holding down the Ctrl key (that is, the control key), and pressing one of the other keys. In this text, the control key is referenced using ^ (for example, ^G means hold down the CTRL key and press the g key). Most of the important Dell Security Management Server Virtual commands are listed below Figure 2.

For example, enter ^G (CTRL+G) for the GNU nano's help menu.
