440f39e558 docs: correct the description of the layout -- four areas, not five 
Also, remove the concept of "shortcut list", as there is no need.
Just use "two help lines" instead, like elsewhere.

108c84daf8 docs: move the chapter about editor basics into third position 
Or rather, move the chapter about command-line options to between
the chapters on file browser and feature toggles.  Also, rename the
chapter about the built-in help, and move the section about screen
layout to be the first in the editor-basics chapter.

bc4a141cba tweaks: mark keystrokes consistently with @kbd in the manual

looks different (non-italic) from @kbd in the HTML and PDF outputs.

1f36d5411a docs: improve the title of the manual, away from the bare "nano" 
Also, suppress two unwanted blank lines in the HTML output, and
use a macro to avoid repeating the same three lines eight times.

46f76ca8b8 docs: avoid large Table of Contents at top of HTML version of manual 
Texinfo-6.8 (that was used to build the docs of nano-5.9) changed
the way the @contents command is processed for HTML output, with as
result a detailed table of contents at the start of the HTML page.
That is ugly and too much detail.  To avoid that, produce a table
of contents only when generating output meant for printing.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61344.

Bug existed since version 5.9.

3a09577e0c tweaks: replace the obscure @* with the slightly clearer @sp 
What @* does is guesswork when you don't use Texinfo regularly.
That the "sp" in the @sp command refers to vertical space is not
very clear either, but the command is used on nearby lines too,
so better use it more.

Also, improve two wordings and fix a four-year old typo.

7d6ffd9e78 docs: don't use "light" after "bold", as the latter often implies "light" 
On most terminals "bold" also makes the relevant text lighter (or just
makes it lighter, like on a Linux console).  Only some terminals allow
the user to switch this coupling of bold to light off.

b8daf1fb0b docs: correct the default value of the errorcolor option 
It should be "bold,white,red" instead of "brightwhite,red"
because "bright" is deprecated and not documented.

console (on Debian and friends).

101dc4e805 docs: make ^E access the Execute menu in the example CUA bindings 
Also, add the normal CUA bindings for Undo (^Z) and Redo (^Y),
and drop the M-X thinko.

With these more "usual" alternative bindings, ^X will now do a Cut
(putting the cut text into the cutbuffer) only when in the main menu
-- in the other places it did not put anything into the cutbuffer,
so it's better to have only the default ^K ("kill") for that.

Suspension is now accessible with ^E^Z, and the Speller with ^E^S.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60766.

Bug existed since version 3.2, commit 33d67d5c,
since the more usual example bindings were introduced.
