Does anybody know of a nano-like editor that supports Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Arrow keys? Like in Windows, where you can delete and navigate words.
I have been trying to learn the basics of Vim for the last couple of months. While it's useful, I find it ineffective (for me) moving in and out of insert mode. Especially for quick edits.
I need it to work in Linux terminal, like nano does.

You could try Joe's Own Editor or ne, the nice editor.
Or take the time to learn Vim's basics in normal mode:
weve then e and e…vb then b and b…dbdwand in insert mode:
<C-w>It's shorter and you don't even need to keep a finger on Ctrl+whatever.

I'm not sure if it's available in your environment, but a useful piece of software for the terminal is Midnight Commander (their site uses a self-signed certificate, so don't worry about this). It has a built-in editor with a lot of shortcuts, syntax highlighting, etc. and its behaviour is like in Windows.

You could very well try
emacs, if you don't get into modal editing. – new123456 – 2012-02-09T12:09:28.1871
How about remapping a key combination to speed up the shift from Insert to Edit mode? Like, perhaps, Ctrl + Space ? http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_map_keys_in_vim
