GNU nano -- an enhanced clone of the Pico text editor

Overview

The nano project was started because of a few "problems" with the

|
||||
|
||||
First and foremost was its license: the Pine suite does not use
|
||||
the GPL or a GPL-friendly license, and has unclear restrictions on
|
||||
redistribution. Because of this, Pine and Pico are not included
|
||||
with many GNU/Linux distributions. Also, other features (like
|
||||
go-to-line-number or search-and-replace) were unavailable until
|
||||
recently or require a command-line flag. Yuck.

nano aims to solve these problems by emulating the functionality of

Pico as closely as possible while addressing the problems above and

providing other extra functionality.

default installation directory of /usr/local.

If you haven't configured with the "--disable-nanorc" option, after
|

installation you may want to copy the doc/nanorc.sample to your
|

home directory, rename it to ".nanorc", and then edit it according
|
||||
to your taste.
