Benno Schulenberg edf2d8d68f docs: mention that the dedicated cursor-moving keys are not rebindable 2020-04-10 12:25:02 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg 2d4bacf61d docs: stop mentioning that --wordchars overrides --wordbounds 
Since the previous commit, it no longer does.  Instead, the two
interfere, and the user probably wants to use just one of them.

Benno Schulenberg 3690d60b71 rcfile: rename bindable function 'suspendenable' to 'suspendable'

option, like for 'mouse' and 'linenumbers' and 'smarthome' and such.

Benno Schulenberg 7f0bfdfeb2 docs: put the three new behaviors in a bulletted list, to catch the eye 
Also, move the relevant section down in the nanorc man page, to increase
the contrast between the two pages.

Benno Schulenberg d141e849a3 tweaks: unabbreviate "argument" in the documentation 
Also, show that the argument in the extendsyntax format is not optional,
as any command requires at least one argument.  Also mention 'tabgives'
among the commands that are allowed in an included file.

Benno Schulenberg 8637acb106 docs: correct the description of the 'spell' menu 2019-11-25 17:42:40 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 51a3f78d69 docs: mention that 'hunspell' is now the first default spelling program 2019-11-25 17:38:50 +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Benno Schulenberg c51f5f4bff docs: mention that the 'nopauses' option is obsolete 2019-10-15 11:23:05 +02:00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 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 b5c5cde0d4 docs: document the 'fixer' command, a per-syntax content arranger 2019-10-14 10:28:45 +02:00
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.

Also, rename the parameters, to better fit the subsequent description.

Benno Schulenberg 941637615b docs: clarify that in nano regexes are extended regular expressions

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.

And use plain .P to start a new paragraph.
 2019-04-01 17:31:35 +02:00
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.

Benno Schulenberg d0cc75f197 docs: put paths and filenames in italics, per 'man man-pages'
