Okay, I've had this happen before and was never able to fix it, hopefully someone here will recognize what is happening and tell me where I went wrong.
I'm installing a new Gentoo box, and have the basic system installed ( without X ). The problem began after I completed a successful "emerge -DuN world" The symptom is: when I start nano, (just nano by itself, not editing a file), several hundred lines similar to the following are spewed to the console: No match found... list val = 1 Hey, set sequence to 63 for shortcut "M-?" No match found... list val = 286 Hey, set sequence to 25 for shortcut "^Y" No match found... list val = 286 Hey, set sequence to 22 for shortcut "^V" No match found... list val = 3072 Hey, set sequence to 330 for shortcut "kdel" No match found... list val = 8191 Hey, set sequence to 8 for shortcut "^H" No match found... list val = 8191 Hey, set sequence to 263 for shortcut "kbsp" Shortcut "^G", function: Get Help, menus 8191 Shortcut "F1", function: Get Help, menus 8191 Shortcut "^X", function: Exit, menus 1 Shortcut "F2", function: Exit, menus 1 Shortcut "F14", function: Replace, menus 3 Shortcut "M-R", function: Replace, menus 3 Shortcut "^R", function: Replace, menus 3 Shortcut "^E", function: End, menus 1 Shortcut "M-+", function: Scroll Down, menus 1 Shortcut "M-=", function: Scroll Down, menus 1 Hmm, didnt find a func for "M-Y" Hmm, didnt find a func for "M-H" Hmm, didnt find a func for "M-I" Hmm, didnt find a func for "M-K" Hmm, didnt find a func for "M-N" Hmm, didnt find a func for "M-Z" Shortcut "^T", function: Go To Text, menus 16 Shortcut "M-F", function: New Buffer, menus 64 Shortcut "^C", function: Cancel, menus 15102 Shortcut "^X", function: Exit, menus 1 Shortcut "^Z", function: Suspend, menus 1 Shortcut "^L", function: Refresh, menus 257 Shortcut "^I", function: Tab, menus 1 Shortcut "kdel", function: Delete, menus 1 Shortcut "^H", function: Backspace, menus 1 Parsing file "/etc/nanorc" After rebinding keys...
