From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

are you using a graphical editor to edit the file?
will nano or vim work?
It's probably me, but I find yaml file very difficult to edit in nano. I used to use stuff like kate or gedit and it was way easier for me.
PS. besides yaml I use nano or vi for everything else and I love them.
You could also try micro, which is a terminal text editor with mouse support, syntax highlighting and many more features that you know from GUI text editors.
vim should make yaml editing easier and you're familiarity with vi should help a lot.
