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.

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-$,

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.

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

without getting a conflict, and --rawsequences can be abbreviated
to simply --raw and still make sense.

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.

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.

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.

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.
