7b9567719c tweaks: reshuffle an option, to have two related ones grouped together 
Options --stateflags and --minibar are slightly related; it looks
better to not have them separated by an unrelated option.

d4ee6a2b53 options: rename --tempfile to --saveonexit, to be far clearer 
A long option should describe what it does, not vaguely hint at it.

Also, in several places of nano's code we deal with actual temp files,
and then having a flag called TEMP_FILE that doesn't have anything to
do with temp files is somewhat confusing.

4281b6becb commands: rename 'fixer' to 'formatter', to be less misleading 
The word "fixer" sounds too much as if the command would be able

fixes the found mistakes.  (Although the command might in theory
be used for this, it is not its intended purpose.)

f813fd0f4d rcfile: allow binding also F17...F24 
For historical reasons the rebinding code allows binding F13...F16,
which on most terminals are typable with Shift plus F1...F4.  But,
at least on an Xfce Terminal, Shift plus F1...F12 produce F13...F24.
On a Linux console, Shift plus F1...F8 produce F13...F20.  So: allow
to bind the full shifted F13...F24 range.  It costs no extra code
and makes things more rounded.

2c7d336711 bindings: rename 'cutwordleft' to 'chopwordleft', and similar for right 
These bindable functions should not connote cutting, as they don't put
anything into the cutbuffer.

2482cfca56 build: eradicate the --disable-wrapping-as-root configure option

98b1f8f059 options: stop recognizing and ignoring -b, -e, -f, -j, and -q 
This signals our break from trying to be as compatible with Pico as
possible.  We were already incompatible with modern Pico in the -n
and -W options, and in several character-set and color options, so
ignoring those five options brought us very little.

Anyway, soon some of those options will be reused and will have the
effect of making nano look and behave more like Pico.

dc99610c36 docs: reword and reshuffle the description of --rawsequences 
It's not just about the numeric keypad, but about the interpretation
of all editing keys (arrows, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, Insert, and
Delete), of the escape sequences that they produce.

67c69b2298 options: rename long version of -K from --rebindkeypad to --rawsequences 
To better describe what it does, and to have full contrast with the
--rebinddelete option: the latter can now be shortened to --rebind
without getting a conflict, and --rawsequences can be abbreviated
to simply --raw and still make sense.

3121ee4b2e options: stop recognizing and mentioning --quiet and 'set quiet' 
Those options have been a no-op and obsolete for over a year.

with Pico.

ae3ec1784d options: add --zap, that makes <Bsp> and <Del> erase a marked region 
Using --zap or -Z on the command line, or 'set zap' in a nanorc file,
makes the <Bsp> and <Del> keys erase selected text (a marked region)
as they do in some other editors, and without affecting the cutbuffer.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54837.

5662a38802 new feature: a bindable 'zap', to erase text without changing cutbuffer 
This function allows the user to "make space": annihilating lines or
regions while keeping intact for pasting the stuff in the cutbuffer
that was cut or copied earlier.

f442f91187 bindings: rename 'prevhistory' to 'older' and 'nexthistory' to 'newer' 
Rename not only the bindable functions, but more importantly reword the
tags that are shown for ^P and ^N in the help lines: "Older" / "Newer",
because these are clearer and not awkward abbreviations.

772c324f25 bindings: remove backup and new-buffer toggles (M-B, M-F) from main menu 
These are available in the menus where they are relevant: the Write-Out

menu is inconsistent and eats precious keystrokes.  (Sorry, Chris.)

program, so there is no longer any need for this specific and special
formatter command.
