Rename not only the bindable functions, but more importantly reword the
tags that are shown for ^P and ^N in the help lines: "Older" / "Newer",
because these are clearer and not awkward abbreviations.
When something is spotlighted, it should survive a refresh of
the screen and an excursion to a help text, so the spotlight
should get painted whenever the edit window is drawn.

which a linter has been defined. This makes it possible to spell check
comment blocks in source files, for example.

The binding was made only to have *something* bound by default to the
'cutwordleft' function. But now that <Ctrl+Shift+Delete> is available
*and* visible in the help text, the M-| binding is superfluous.
So that the user can do 'bind ^H cutwordleft all' in their nanorc
to make ^H (and sometimes also <Ctrl+Backspace>) delete the word
to the left of the cursor while <Backspace> continues to delete
just one character.
On FreeBSD and NetBSD (when reached through ssh from a Linux machine)
this has the absurd effect of making <Ctrl+Backspace> do a 'cutwordleft'
by default, out of the box, without needing any rebindings. Weird, but
wonderful, because the ideal behavior.
Also ensure that <Shift+Delete> always does a Backspace.
This makes that we have the following set of "congruent" keys:
<Tab> moves text to the right,
<Shift+Tab> moves text to the left,
<Delete> "eats" a character to the right,
<Shift+Delete> "eats" a character to the left,
<Ctrl+Delete> "eats" a word to the right,
<Shift+Ctrl+Delete> "eats" a word to the left.
These are available in the menus where they are relevant: the Write-Out
and the Insert menu, respectively. Having them duplicated in the main
menu is inconsistent and eats precious keystrokes. (Sorry, Chris.)
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.
There are at least three other ways to achieve the thing that it did:
^End, M-/, and ^W^V. No need to have a fourth way by default.
For symmetry, also unassign the corresponding binding for M-|.
The 'cutwordright' function has gotten ^Delete as its default binding,
so the 'cutwordleft' function needs a default binding too -- also to
keep the items on the two help lines nicely paired. M-| was chosen
because it is close to the Backspace key on many keyboard layouts.
As the help viewer is almost a normal buffer, commands that make sense
-- like searching backwards, and searching the previous occurrence --
should work in the help viewer too.
In addition, show all Search commands prominently in the help lines of
the help viewer, so that users are likely to notice them and will maybe
infer that they work in the editor itself too.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54368.

Put "Where Was" in its place, to make the symmetry of ^W/M-W/^Q/M-Q
somewhat clearer. Also, conditionally reshuffle "Save File", to try
and keep menu items nicely paired.
Bind the until-now unbound function 'cutwordright' to <Ctrl+Delete>.
The complementary function, 'cutwordleft', is not bound by default
because on many terminals the keystroke <Ctrl+Backspace> generates
^H -- the canonical ASCII backspace character. We cannot change the
existing action of ^H without upsetting some users.

To match the documentation and to match what the nanorc.nanorc
colors as valid.
In theory it would be possible to allow rebinding also F17...F63,
but nano does not recognize escape sequences for these high-order
function keys. As no one ever complained about unknown sequences
when pressing function keys, I am guessing that no one has these
high-order keys, or at least that no one uses them.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54332.
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.
When executing a command, it is now possible to pipe the entire buffer
(or the marked region, if anything is marked) to the external command.
The output from the command replaces the buffer (or the marked region),
or goes to a new buffer.

This makes the names of these bindable functions equal to the names of
their corresponding options -- like for all the other toggles that have
a corresponding option.
When just scrolling and the cursor does not need to change position
(that is: it is not on the first or last row of the edit window),
then edit_scroll() has handled everything and there is no need to
additionally redraw anything or update 'placewewant'.
The slash is easier to read than the underscore (which almost
disappears at the bottom of the screen), and easier to type
(no Shift needed on a US keyboard), and it kind of harmonizes
with the ^\ for Replace and the M-/ for End-of-buffer.
In this way a single keystroke can produce a fragment of text or a
series of commands, or a mix of the two. It is like a prerecorded
macro.

Each leading tab is converted to two tabs, and any leading four spaces
is converted to one tab. The intended tab size (for keeping most lines
within 80 columns) is now four.
When unindenting/uncommenting affected the bottom line of the marked
region, keep affecting this line also during subsequent consecutive
indenting/commenting.

When the mark is on, instead of letting a <Tab> simply insert a Tab
character at the cursor position, let it indent the marked region.

When not finding a .nanorc file in the user's home directory, nano will
look for a nanorc file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and in the ~/.config/nano/
fallback directory. And when not finding a .nano/ subdir in the user's
home directory, nano will look for (or create) the history files in
$XDG_DATA_HOME or in the ~/.local/share/nano/ fallback directory.
This is a partial implementation of the XDG Base Directory Specification:
https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html,
for the purpose of reducing the clutter in a user's home directory, and
to make it easier to back up just the configuration files.

In the tiny version, do_prompt() will now have an extra NULL
parameter, which will cost maybe twenty extra bytes of code.
That is acceptable when it saves thirty lines in the source.

^S will be the first thing people will try for saving a file,
and ^Q is somewhat mnemonic because it is to the left of ^W:
it searches backward.
Make these keystrokes available also in the tiny version.
The basic idea is that the cursor is always off, except when it needs
to be on: when waiting for text input, and in a few other cases: when
something was searched and found in the help viewer, and in the file
browser when option -g is in effect.

When multiple files were open and [x/n] was being shown in the title
bar, don't show nano's name and version number when just one buffer
remains open, but show [1/1] instead. It is less surprising.
When multiple buffers are open, replace nano's name and version number
with an indication how many buffers are open preceded by the sequence
number of the current buffer.
