Package: nano Version: 8.6 In the nanorc file that Debian currently installs as /etc/nanorc the vast majority of lines are commented out. Only five lines are uncommented. It thus takes the user quite a bit of scrolling to find these five lines.
It would be much nicer if the /etc/nanorc file in Debian contained just the five settings that Debian makes (plus their comments). The proposed new contents of the /etc/nanorc would be these: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Debian's default settings for nano. ## For a template with all available options, see: ## /usr/share/doc/nano/examples/sample.nanorc # Interpret (on the command line) digits after a colon after a filename # as the line number to go to in that file: set colonparsing # Remember the used search/replace/command strings for the next session: set historylog # Let other users (of nano or vim) know you are editing a file they are # trying to edit, and vice versa: set locking # Use the end of the title bar for some state flags: I = auto-indenting, # M = mark, L = hard-wrapping long lines, R = recording, S = soft-wrapping: set stateflags # Include most of the syntax definitions: include "/usr/share/nano/*.nanorc" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benno
