do_indent_marked(), do_indent_marked_void(), and
do_unindent_marked_void(); changes to shortcut_init(). (Chris
and DLR)
- - Change the shortcut to find the matching bracket to ^].
+ - Change the shortcut to find the matching bracket to Ctrl-].
Changes to shortcut_init() and do_statusbar_input(). (DLR)
+ - Drop the Meta-] and Meta-[ aliases for Meta-} and Meta-}, and
+ change the shortcut to find the matching bracket from Ctrl-]
+ back to Meta-], since Ctrl-] is used as the telnet escape key.
+ Changes to shortcut_init() and do_statusbar_input(). (DLR,
+ found by Chris)
- Add the ability to move to the first and last line of the help
text and the first and last file in the file browser via
Meta-\ (Meta-|) and Meta-/ (Meta-?). Changes to do_browser(),
holding down keys to generate Meta sequences. (Benno
Schulenberg, minor tweaks by DLR)
- Add a few capitalization and wording fixes. (DLR)
+ - Remove section 4.4, and move all section 4 entries after it up
+ one number, since it no longer applies. Meta-] and Meta-[ are
+ no longer used to indent and unindent marked text, since they
+ require that the bracket matching key change to Ctrl-], which
+ is used as the telnet escape key. (DLR, found by Chris)

-<blockquote><p>This is a special case. Meta-[ followed by (for example) A through D corresponds to the arrow keys on many terminals, and the delay is needed in order to handle them. If you don't want to wait at all between unindents, you can hold down the Shift key when pressing Meta-[ to get Meta-{, which will do the same thing as Meta-[ without the delay.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>This is a bug in the terminal, not in nano. When a key is repeating faster than nano can process it, the keyboard buffer becomes full and starts dropping incoming keystrokes. Unfortunately, it doesn't just drop whole keystrokes; it can also drop parts of multibyte key combinations, resulting in nano's receiving a wrong key.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>It depends on the terminal type you're using. On some terminals, such as the FreeBSD console, xterm, konsole, and gnome-terminal, Shift-F1 to Shift-F4 will generate F13 to F16.

<blockquote><p>The help (^G) and justify (^J) function were among the last to be written. To show the improvements that nano had over Pico (go to line # and replace), ^_ and ^\ were put on the shortcut list. Later, ^G came back in place of ^_ as it proved to be very valuable for new Unix users. If you use the <b>-p</b> option to nano (or hit Meta-P) you will get the same shortcuts at the bottom as Pico.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>In nano version 0.9.20, the default is to have a completely consistent user interface across all user input functions. This means that regardless of whether you're being asked for a filename to insert or write, or a string to search for, the previous value is already inserted before the cursor. If you prefer the old behavior, use the Pico emulation mode (-p or --pico) or just hit Meta-P while in nano (see the ^G help text for more details).</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>It was decided that consistency was nice, but people are used to Pico's inconsistent behavior. Also, in version 1.1.99pre1, search and replace history was introduced. If you wish to edit your previous search/replace entry (or any previous entry), you can do so by hitting the up arrow to cycle through your history. This method allows the best of both worlds: You don't need to erase the previous string if you want to enter a new one, but you can with one keystroke recall previous entries for editing. Therefore there is now no "Pico mode", nano is and has always been a Pico <b>clone</b>, and clones by default should be compatible.</p></blockquote>
