ac5e5179fb options: rename 'highlightcolor' to the more distinct 'spotlightcolor'
This way there cannot be any confusion with syntax highlighting,
and it indicates better that a single place will be highlighted.

1a2d0c1770 scrolling: add a function and a key binding to center the cursor line
By default, this function is bound to ^L, to make that keystroke do
something actually useful.  To not lose the Refresh function that this
keystroke had, the centering function additionally does a full redraw
and refresh of the screen.

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.
