input: allocate a small keystroke buffer, and never free it
input: allocate two small character buffers too, and never free them
input: give up when the capacity of the keystroke buffer overflows

prompt: return FALSE for non-editing functions also in the tiny version

startup: for +/string, center the found occurrence when possible
startup: quit when standard input is not a TTY (after handling arguments)
startup: report an empty search string also when there is a modifier
syntax: nanorc: colorize valid function names plus surrounding braces
tweaks: add parentheses for consistency, and reshuffle for conciseness
tweaks: allow the linter to be used in view mode, as it makes no changes
tweaks: attribute some of the features that were added in the last years
tweaks: avoid iterating over the same string twice in a row
tweaks: avoid sometimes calling a function three times in a row

tweaks: delete a flag that is no longer used
tweaks: determine in another way whether a shortcut is okay in view mode
tweaks: discard a bracketed paste in the browser more efficiently
tweaks: don't use a pointer when the value itself is all that is needed
tweaks: drop an unneeded check for permissibility of prompt shortcuts
tweaks: drop a parameter that is no longer used
tweaks: drop shunting of flags by calling the needed function directly
tweaks: elide a function that does not need to be a separate function
tweaks: elide an assignment by iterating with the target variable
tweaks: elide an intermediary variable that is no longer needed
tweaks: elide an unused parameter
tweaks: elide an unused return value
tweaks: elide a parameter by moving the general case one level up
tweaks: elide a variable, rename another, and reshuffle an assignment
tweaks: fold two cases together, because they basically do the same
tweaks: group the special keycodes for implanted strings together
tweaks: improve two comments, and exclude two unneeded prototypes
tweaks: make the crawl use the whole screen also in the tiny version
tweaks: make two error messages more succinct and easier to translate
tweaks: move the arrays of menu names and symbols to where they are used

tweaks: rename a macro for clarity, and normalize some indentation
tweaks: rename a variable, away from an abbreviation
tweaks: rename two record elements and three parameters, for clarity
tweaks: replace sizeof(char) with 1, as that is assumed anyway
tweaks: reshuffle a declaration, and correct the wording of a comment
tweaks: reshuffle a line, to group things better
tweaks: reshuffle some code and drop some comments, for conciseness
tweaks: reshuffle some code, to not determine a shortcut twice
tweaks: reshuffle some lines, to be more readable instead of compact
tweaks: reshuffle two lines, for conciseness and in preparation
tweaks: reword and/or condense four comments

tweaks: rewrap some lines, drop a redundant call, and reshuffle a line
tweaks: simplify a function now that a Unicode code can be typed quicker
tweaks: simplify a pasting routine, modelling it after the injection one
tweaks: use an auxiliary variable to avoid dereferences of 'shortcut'

Improvements in GNU nano
========================
Since 7.0:
- String binds may contain bindable function names between braces.
- Word completion looks for candidates in all open buffers.
- Unicode codes can be entered without leading zeroes.
Since 6.0:
- Option --zero hides the interface and uses the whole terminal for editing.
- Colors can be given also in #rgb hexadecimal, to select the nearest color

2022.11.15 - GNU nano 7.0 "Una existencia simple bajo el sol"
• String binds may contain bindable function names between braces.
For example, to move the current line down to after the next one:
bind ^D "{cut}{down}{paste}{up}" main. Of course, braced function
names may be mixed with literal text. If an existing string bind
contains a literal {, replace it with {{}.
• Unicode codes can be entered (via M-V) without leading zeroes,
by finishing short codes with <Space> or <Enter>.
• Word completion (^]) looks for candidates in all open buffers.
• No regular expression matches the final empty line any more.
2022.08.02 - GNU nano 6.4 "Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser"
• The file browser does not crash when moving up to the root folder.
• Softwrapping very long lines is done more efficiently.

<h3><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h3>
<blockquote><p>On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program &quot;establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host&quot;, and was included with many older Unix systems (and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because there is no 'tip' utility included with most GNU/Linux distributions (where nano was developed).</p></blockquote>
<h3><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h3>
<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>6.4</b>. Of course, you should always check the <a href="https://nano-editor.org/">nano homepage</a> to see what the latest and greatest version is.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>7.0</b>. Of course, you should always check the <a href="https://nano-editor.org/">nano homepage</a> to see what the latest and greatest version is.</p></blockquote>
<h3><a name="1.5"></a>1.5. I want to read the man page without having to download the program!</h3>
