Benno Schulenberg 9a47a9c4c0 rcfile, docs: no longer recognize nor mention 'set backwards'
The option has been a no-op since 2.9.0.  And now that the
^W/^Q/M-W/M-Q set is available, 'set backwards' is entirely
outdated.

Benno Schulenberg 54a4123d4c bindings: remove the 'searchagain' function entirely
The user is obliged to make use of 'findprevious' and 'findnext' instead.

Also, adjust the description of 'wherewas' to its wider availability.

Benno Schulenberg d04c8f88f1 docs: say that 'cutwordright' is now bound to <Ctrl+Delete> by default
Also, suggest to rebind ^H to 'cutwordleft' so that <Ctrl+Backspace>
will delete the word to the left of the cursor (on some terminals).

Benno Schulenberg 7c9a4793dd tweaks: properly escape "\" in a man page and "@" in a texi document

Benno Schulenberg eb84205426 bindings: rename two bindable functions: copytext to copy, uncut to paste
To match the common names used for these functions, for consistency,
and because 'uncut' sounds too much like "undo the cut".

Benno Schulenberg c2593c1c5a docs: reshuffle a bindable function to a slightly better position 2018-07-13 19:46:56 +02:00
David Lawrence Ramsey 4c02329205 docs: mention that "Ins" and "Del" are valid rebindable keys
Also, consistently refer to Latin letters and ASCII characters
where needed, and document more accepted characters.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54071.

Benno Schulenberg 2633114b8e docs: add a missing double quote in the default brackets string
It was accidentally lost three years ago, in commit 7e1bc82d.

Also improve the description of this option in the other documents.

Benno Schulenberg 856322b01e main: interpret only a double slash (//) as quoting, not a single one
Otherwise the first line of a multiline /*...*/-comment would be
seen as quoted and thus *not* as the first line of a paragraph.

In the code, use "/{2}" to prevent the remainder of the line
getting colored as a comment.

And adjust the documentation accordingly.

David Lawrence Ramsey a6c0212158 bindings: add the "flippipe" bindable function
So the toggle for piping to an external command can be rebound.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53987.

Benno Schulenberg 299e710845 docs, usage: make it clear that the argument of --quotestr is a regex
In the past, the argument could be either a regex or a literal string,
so the wording was kind of vague.  But nowadays we can count on having
regex support (through gnulib), so be more precise in the description.

Benno Schulenberg 3628863f90 docs: remove mention of the quotestr for when regex support is lacking
Since version 2.8.0, nano will use (wnen needed) the regex routines
from gnulib, so mentioning the quotestr for when regex support is
lacking, has been obsolete and pointless for more than a year.

Also, remove some superfluous backslashes, use a non-breaking space
in the texinfo document, and order the regex consistently.

Mark-Weston 858663444e new feature: an option to make the 'nextword' function stop at word ends
When 'afterends' is set and Ctrl+Right or Shift+Ctrl+Right is pressed,
nano will stop at the ends of words instead of their beginnings.

Benno Schulenberg 4d92dffb3a bindings: rename constupdate to constantshow, cuttoend to cutfromcursor
This makes the names of these bindable functions equal to the names of
their corresponding options -- like for all the other toggles that have
a corresponding option.

Benno Schulenberg c3a11fb7ed options: remove '--quiet' and 'set quiet', because they hide problems
If the user uses a single version of nano, they have no need for
--quiet.  If they do sometimes use an older version and don't want
to see the warnings, they can use 2>/dev/null (they could make an
alias for that and put it before the call of nano).

David Lawrence Ramsey 2356693b81 docs: document the more everyday names of three bindable functions
List "browser", "pageup" and "pagedown" in the manuals; the first
because it matches "speller", and the latter two because they are
what these functions are commonly known by.  The names "tofiles",
"prevpage" and "nextpage" are now undocumented, but they are still
recognized by the code, as they match the tags for these functions.

Benno Schulenberg 80ed2568fc tweaks: remove a comment from the docs that is no longer accurate
Date and version are updated to match each release, so the user does
