dc99610c36 docs: reword and reshuffle the description of --rawsequences 
It's not just about the numeric keypad, but about the interpretation

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.

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.

f442f91187 bindings: rename 'prevhistory' to 'older' and 'nexthistory' to 'newer' 
Rename not only the bindable functions, but more importantly reword the

Benno Schulenberg
ddd033adaf docs: remove a no-longer-needed suggestion from the sample nanorc 
It would result in having both <Delete> and <Backspace> behaving as
Backspace, which seems senseless -- unless the <Delete> key produces
ASCII DEL and --rebinddelete is needed to make it behave as Delete.
In the latter case it would make more sense if --rebinddelete made
both rebindings: ASCII DEL to Delete and KEY_DC to Backspace, like
it used to be in the distant past, before commit 79a33bb3.

bfe65af6f3 bindings: bind M-Q to 'findprevious' by default, and M-W to 'findnext' 
This makes things symmetrical: ^W starts a forward search, ^Q starts
a backward search, M-W searches the next occurrence forward, and M-Q
searches the next occurrence backward.

The Tabs-To-Spaces toggle is moved to M-O, and thus the More-Space
toggle is no longer bound by default.

probably it is more common to use the Ctrl key together with Shift
to select larger pieces of text.  So mention this possibility.

lacking, has been obsolete and pointless for more than a year.

in the texinfo document, and order the regex consistently.

bb4d0d548a new feature: allow lines to be softwrapped at whitespace 
Extend get_softwrap_breakpoint() to break softwrapped lines on
whitespace when a flag is set.  This flag is controlled by the new
rcfile option "atblanks".  The '>' characters marking two-column
characters at the edge of the screen are disabled when it's on.

If get_softwrap_breakpoint() can't find whitespace in screen range, it
will break the line on the screen edge.  (In this case, a blank can be
on the last column of the screen, but text can't, so that a blank on the
last column doesn't become invisible and possibly break the display.)

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?49959.
