Benno Schulenberg 3258bb0ff4 docs: adjust the compilation instructions to two-digit version numbers 2019-10-27 19:21:55 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 4281b6becb commands: rename 'fixer' to 'formatter', to be less misleading 
The word "fixer" sounds too much as if the command would be able
to fix mistakes or correct errors.  Especially when seen next to
"linter", it sounds as if one does a syntax check and the other
fixes the found mistakes.  (Although the command might in theory
be used for this, it is not its intended purpose.)

Benno Schulenberg c51f5f4bff docs: mention that the 'nopauses' option is obsolete 2019-10-15 11:23:05 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg bfdc31fbb4 docs: add the M-F and M-N keystrokes to the cheatsheet 2019-10-14 17:14:07 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg c63f4c1f58 docs: remove the note about the formatter having been removed 
The 'fixer' command has taken the place of the 'formatter' command.

(Also, normalize a double blank line before a chapter.)

Benno Schulenberg 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.

Benno Schulenberg e90b40e651 docs: add a note saying that rebinding ^M or ^I is not advisable 
Also say that rebinding ^H is sometimes impossible, or when it's
made possible, that it rebinds the Backspace key too.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56994.

Benno Schulenberg 7338b45d36 docs: remove some excessive detail from the sample nanorc file

Benno Schulenberg a2f7e31ba2 new document: a condensed overview of nano's shortcut keystrokes 
It's in a two-column format that fits on a single page, and uses the
more widely known Ctrl+X and Alt+X notations (instead of ^X and M-X).

The file is published on https://nano-editor.org/cheatsheet.html.

Benno Schulenberg 90cbdbbe75 docs: mention that M-S now toggles softwrap and M-N line numbers 2019-04-11 17:46:19 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg d79b9823ae bindings: add easier keystrokes for the linenumber and softwrap toggles 
For most people, M-N and M-S are simpler to type than M-# and M-$,
and more mnemonic.
 2019-04-09 17:48:26 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg 82f1ce8ebf bindings: remove the jumpy-scrolling toggle entirely 
It is still possible to use --jumpyscrolling on the command line or
'set jumpyscrolling' in a nanorc file, but a user will have to restart
nano when they decide they want chunky instead of smooth scrolling,
a decision that should be rather rare.

This frees up the M-S keystroke to be reused for toggling softwrap.

Benno Schulenberg a1375474d9 docs: remove the AUTHOR section, per advice from 'man man-pages' 
Also because most of nano has meanwhile been written by other people
than Chris.  And because authorship is meta-information, irrelevant
for knowing how to operate nano.
