Benno Schulenberg 2c7d336711 bindings: rename 'cutwordleft' to 'chopwordleft', and similar for right
These bindable functions should not connote cutting, as they don't put
anything into the cutbuffer.
2019-02-24 17:31:40 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 5e769686fb docs: mention that 'cutwordleft' is bound to <Shift+Ctrl+Delete>
The default binding was made in commit e6429e78, half a year ago,
but the documentation was not adjusted.

Benno Schulenberg 6c89815e8b docs: stop saying that --fill switches on automatic hard-wrapping
The two were decoupled in the previous commit.  Just say that --fill
sets the target width for both justifying and automatic hard-wrapping.

Benno Schulenberg 6470106eef docs: mention nano's major features directly instead of referring
In addition, the referral in the FAQ was to nano's home page,
which does not mention any advantages or features of nano.
2019-01-31 20:30:53 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 2482cfca56 build: eradicate the --disable-wrapping-as-root configure option
Hard-wrapping is disabled by default for any user, so this special
configure option is no longer needed.

Benno Schulenberg 98b1f8f059 options: stop recognizing and ignoring -b, -e, -f, -j, and -q
This signals our break from trying to be as compatible with Pico as
possible.  We were already incompatible with modern Pico in the -n
and -W options, and in several character-set and color options, so
ignoring those five options brought us very little.

Anyway, soon some of those options will be reused and will have the
effect of making nano look and behave more like Pico.

Benno Schulenberg 38e3318e5f tweaks: reword the description of the disadvantages of Pico
Also reword a list of features to exclude the ones that only
make sense when contrasting nano with Pico.
2019-01-25 11:00:51 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 6aad99bd81 docs: stop implying that nano wants to be fully compatible with Pico 2019-01-25 10:50:14 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 757f558f3b tweaks: renumber some FAQ items, to compensate for the deleted ones
Also, reshuffle one item, to have related items next to each other.

Benno Schulenberg b596639f95 options: actually rename --rebindkeypad to --rawsequences (-K) 2018-12-31 18:35:46 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 0213f412d1 docs: say that --rebinddelete can correct both <Backspace> and <Delete> 2018-12-28 19:48:54 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg dc99610c36 docs: reword and reshuffle the description of --rawsequences
It's not just about the numeric keypad, but about the interpretation
of all editing keys (arrows, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, Insert, and
Delete), of the escape sequences that they produce.
2018-12-28 19:29:38 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 67c69b2298 options: rename long version of -K from --rebindkeypad to --rawsequences
To better describe what it does, and to have full contrast with the
--rebinddelete option: the latter can now be shortened to --rebind
without getting a conflict, and --rawsequences can be abbreviated
to simply --raw and still make sense.
2018-12-28 17:35:55 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 3121ee4b2e options: stop recognizing and mentioning --quiet and 'set quiet'
Those options have been a no-op and obsolete for over a year.

Just continue to accept and ignore -q, for some "compatibility"
with Pico.

Benno Schulenberg 9dd6407bea docs: correct the descriptions of 'speller' and 'linter' functions
Since the last release, the linter function is bound separately and
no longer masks or overrides the speller function.

Brand Huntsman ae3ec1784d options: add --zap, that makes <Bsp> and <Del> erase a marked region
Using --zap or -Z on the command line, or 'set zap' in a nanorc file,
makes the <Bsp> and <Del> keys erase selected text (a marked region)
as they do in some other editors, and without affecting the cutbuffer.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54837.

Brand Huntsman 5662a38802 new feature: a bindable 'zap', to erase text without changing cutbuffer
This function allows the user to "make space": annihilating lines or
regions while keeping intact for pasting the stuff in the cutbuffer
that was cut or copied earlier.

Benno Schulenberg f442f91187 bindings: rename 'prevhistory' to 'older' and 'nexthistory' to 'newer'
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.

Benno Schulenberg 33d67d5cee docs: give suggestions for alternative key bindings in the sample nanorc 2018-10-15 17:19:40 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg ddd033adaf docs: remove a no-longer-needed suggestion from the sample nanorc
It would result in having both <Delete> and <Backspace> behaving as
Backspace, which seems senseless -- unless the <Delete> key produces
ASCII DEL and --rebinddelete is needed to make it behave as Delete.
In the latter case it would make more sense if --rebinddelete made
both rebindings: ASCII DEL to Delete and KEY_DC to Backspace, like
it used to be in the distant past, before commit 79a33bb3.
