+2024 may 1 - GNU nano 8.0 "Grus grus" +
+
    +
  • By default ^F is bound to starting a forward search, and ^B to
    + starting a backward search, while M-F and M-B repeat the search
    + in the corresponding direction. (See the documentation if you
    + want the old bindings back.)
    • +
  • Command-line option --modernbindings (-/) makes ^Q quit, ^X cut,
    + ^C copy, ^V paste, ^Z undo, ^Y redo, ^O open a file, ^W write a
    + file, ^R replace, ^G find again, ^D find again backwards, ^A set
    + the mark, ^T jump to a line, ^P show the position, and ^E execute.
    • +
  • Above modern bindings are activated also when the name of nano's
    + executable (or a symlink to it) starts with the letter "e".
    • +
  • To open a file at a certain line number, one can now use also
    + `nano filename:number`, besides `nano +number filename`.
    • +
  • <Alt+Home> and <Alt+End> put the cursor on the first and last
    + row in the viewport, while retaining the horizontal position.
    • +
  • When the three digits in an #RGB color code are all the same,
    + the code is mapped to the xterm grey scale, giving access to
    + fourteen levels of grey instead of just four.
    • +
  • For easier access, M-" is bound to placing/removing an anchor,
    + and M-' to jumping to the next anchor.
    • +
  • Whenever an error occurs, the keystroke buffer is cleared, thus
    + stopping the execution of a macro or a string bind.
    • +
  • The mousewheel scrolls the viewport instead of moving the cursor.
    • +

+ + 2023 January 18 - GNU nano 7.2 "Boer doe mij 't hekke lös!"
