2019.12.23 - GNU nano 4.7 "Havikskruid" • A <Tab> will indent a marked region only when mark and cursor are on different lines. • Two indentations (any mix of tabs and spaces) are considered the same when they look the same (that is: indent to the same level). • When using --breaklonglines or ^J, a line will never be broken in its leading whitespace or quoting. • The keywords in nanorc files must be in lowercase.
