docs: improve the description of the 'flipexecute' bindable function
...
It is bindable only in the Insert menu -- in the Execute menu it has
a "blind", unadvertised binding (because I consider toggling between
menus somewhat of a misfeature).

revert the previous commit -- forget about -? as a synonym for --help
...
An ambiguous option like --back or --word would cause nano to spew
the entire help text. It should do the latter only when the user
explicitly requests it.
2023-08-27 14:56:05 +02:00

docs: mention that a restricted nano does not access the history files
...
With some imagination, the lack of access could be inferred from the
other descriptions, but it's much better to be clear and explicit.
Also, separate two items that are unrelated and reshuffle them into
a neater order.

docs: explain how to include a double quote plus space in a nanorc regex
...
As double-quote-plus-space indicates the end of a regular expression
in a nanorc file, the inclusion of this combination *in* a regular
expression requires breaking the juxtaposition of the two, which
can be achieved by putting either of them between square brackets.
(It can also be achieved by preceding the space with a backslash,
which is shorter, but... the above method is more symmetrical.)
