Hi everyone,
I just can't figure out how do I copy a portion or the whole file in nano and paste it into links or other program. I have a problem and would like to post a log file to a list. I have read man and help nano pages but found no info on the subject. Thanks.
It helps a lot if you have gpm installed so you can use your mouse in the console. If so, click and drag the text you want and press ^K (ctrl + k). This will cut the text, but if you ^U (ctrl + u) it puts it right back but will remain in the "clipboard" (buffer).
The procedure is the same if you do not have gpm running, but you can only do one line at a time.
Then you can ^v (ctrl + v) or use the Edit menu to paste it into the other program if that program supports pasting.
Actually, you can select anything you want with nano using ^^ (ctrl + ^) - once to mark the beginning of the selection and again to mark the end.

Interesting, I get also to troubles using nano during installation of my Gentoo ... because I didn't open built-in help too.
"emerge vim" solved my nano trouble forever :-)
