Surely there is a way to do this that might be made more readily
apparent to anybody who has never used reportbug, and is not adept at
using linux terminals.
reportbug will be invoking whatever your default text editor is. If the
VISUAL or EDITOR environment variables are defined, it will attempt to
run the program they specify; otherwise it will invoke the simple text
editor 'nano' (which is what you appear to be having trouble with).
nano's on-screen help uses the conventional Unix notation of ^A, ^B, ^C,
etc. to indicate Control-A, Control-B, Control-C, etc. Pressing
Control-X will prompt you to save the modified buffer (answer Yes);
reportbug will detect that the file it created for you to edit has been
successfully edited, and continue with its normal sequence of operations.
