5c179aae7d docs: mention that the 'formatter' command has been superseded 2018-08-09 20:29:30 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg
975b491235 dropping a feature: remove the ability to use the 'formatter' command 
Since the last version, the user can filter an entire buffer through
an external command.  This external command can also be a formatting
program, so there is no longer any need for this specific and special
formatter command.

9a47a9c4c0 rcfile, docs: no longer recognize nor mention 'set backwards' 
The option has been a no-op since 2.9.0.  And now that the
^W/^Q/M-W/M-Q set is available, 'set backwards' is entirely
outdated.

d04c8f88f1 docs: say that 'cutwordright' is now bound to <Ctrl+Delete> by default 
Also, suggest to rebind ^H to 'cutwordleft' so that <Ctrl+Backspace>

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.

eb84205426 bindings: rename two bindable functions: copytext to copy, uncut to paste

078265456c docs: mention that also Ctrl increases the stride when selecting text 
The Alt key together with Shift is a special workaround for when
Shift+PgUp and Shift+PgDn don't work on the user's terminal.  But
probably it is more common to use the Ctrl key together with Shift
to select larger pieces of text.  So mention this possibility.

856322b01e main: interpret only a double slash (//) as quoting, not a single one

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.

Benno Schulenberg
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.

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.

7fac9ec51c docs: mention the ability to read from stdin 
Also, remove the special "+line,column" argument from among the options,
since it isn't an option -- put it in a separate paragraph instead.

6981294c9d build: move all documentation into a single directory 
There are just a handful of source files for the documentation --
it is wasteful and cumbersome to have these in separate directories.

Also: remove the French man pages -- they are too far out of date.
(And anyway, we should acquire a general framework for translating
the documentation.)
