2019.08.25 - GNU nano 4.4 "Hagelslag" • At startup, the cursor can be put on the first or last occurrence of a string by preceding the filename with +/string or +?string. • When automatic hard-wrapping occurs (--breaklonglines), any leading quoting characters will be automatically copied to the new line. • M-6 works again also when the cursor is at end of buffer.
GNU nano is a simple and easy-to-use editor for on the terminal. https://nano-editor.org/ https://nano-editor.org/manual.html A concise overview of nano's shortcut keystrokes:

should clear existing message) https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56713 (miscoloring after Perl variable name) https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56737 (say "Search Wrapped" only when it did) Changes between v4.3 and v4.4: ------------------------------ Brand Huntsman (3): rcfile: for an empty syntax, show the line number of the 'syntax' command rcfile: report the correct command location for an invalid 'include' search: accept toggles for case and regex when searching at startup Benno Schulenberg (54): browser: draw a bar of spaces only where needed -- for the selected item build: exclude the search-at-startup feature from the tiny version bump version numbers and add a news item for the 4.4 release copying: do not prevent M-6 from copying emptiness into the cutbuffer display: blank the status bar on a successful cut or paste display: clear the remainder of a row only when there actually is some display: don't clear a row beforehand -- just clear the remainder display: use a somewhat faster method to clear a row display: when linenumbering, correctly spotlight text that spans two rows display: where needed, use slow blanking, but elsewhere do it much faster docs: change a few URLs over to https, and rewrap a couple of NEWS items docs: document the search-at-startup feature (+/string or +?string) docs: make the synopsis of --speller and 'set speller' more accurate docs: mention the M-N toggle instead of the obsolete M-# one docs: slightly reword some of the descriptions around syntax highlighting docs: slightly reword the descriptions of most configure options docs: stop mentioning the 'unjustify' function, as it no longer exists gnulib: update to its current upstream state new document: a condensed overview of nano's shortcut keystrokes new feature: allow specifying a search string to "jump to" at startup po: update translations and regenerate POT file and PO files rcfile: properly handle an empty syntax before an 'include' statement scrolling: don't overscroll when the edit window has just one row search: don't wipe the status bar at startup when there was an error search: wipe the status bar before searching again (M-W / M-Q) syntax: c: allow an underscore in lowercase type names syntax: default: colorize bracketed section headers in some config files syntaxes: change some unneeded 'icolor' commands to 'color' commands syntaxes: recognize .ctp extension as a PHP file, and .cu as a C/C++ file syntax: perl: avoid recognizing embedded hash signs as a comment starter syntax: perl: avoid upsetting older glibcs with crafty range expression syntax: perl: don't color the character after a variable name syntax: po: colorize numbers only when they form a self-contained word text: copy leading quote characters when automatic hard-wrapping occurs tweaks: add a translator hint, to clarify four short words tweaks: call the correct lighting function directly when softwrapping tweaks: condense some comments, and drop two unneeded initializations tweaks: drop two parameters that are no longer needed tweaks: improve a comment, and drop a superfluous one tweaks: improve a handful of comments tweaks: make a function name unique, to not overlap with others tweaks: move a call from two different places to a single place tweaks: move a function to before the first one that calls it tweaks: move a general function to a better place tweaks: remove a saving and restoring that has become superfluous tweaks: rename a function, to suit better, and reshuffle its parameters tweaks: rename a parameter in three functions, to say what it points to tweaks: reshuffle an assignment, and trim some excessive blank lines tweaks: reshuffle an 'if' out of a function, and rename the function tweaks: reword and condense two comments, and correct another tweaks: rewrap two lines, and reshuffle some logic to make more sense tweaks: shorten two messages that translators tend to make too long tweaks: try the allocation of a multidata cache just once per line tweaks: when precalculating, allocate all the cache space upfront -- Benno
