Improvements in GNU nano
========================
Since 8.0:
- To accommodate newcomers, ^F now starts a forward search.
- Option --modernbindings makes ^Q quit, ^X cut, ^C copy, ^V paste,
^Z undo, ^Y redo, ^O open a file, and ^G find again, among others.
- M-Home/M-End put the cursor on the first/last row in the viewport.
- With `nano filename:number` the given file will be opened with the
cursor on the given line number.
Since 7.0:
- String binds may contain bindable function names between braces.
- Word completion looks for candidates in all open buffers.

2024.05.01 - 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.
2023.01.18 - GNU nano 7.2 "Boer doe mij 't hekke lös!"
• <Shift+Insert> is prevented from pasting in view mode.

<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>7.2</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>
