dropping a feature: remove the ability to use the 'formatter' command
...
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.

rcfile, docs: no longer recognize nor mention 'set backwards'

The option has been a no-op since 2.9.0. And now that the

outdated.

bindings: bind M-Q to 'findprevious' by default, and M-W to 'findnext'
...
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.

docs: mention that also Ctrl increases the stride when selecting text
...
The Alt key together with Shift is a special workaround for when
Shift+PgUp and Shift+PgDn don't work on the user's terminal. But
probably it is more common to use the Ctrl key together with Shift
to select larger pieces of text. So mention this possibility.

getting colored as a comment.

docs, usage: make it clear that the argument of --quotestr is a regex

In the past, the argument could be either a regex or a literal string,
so the wording was kind of vague. But nowadays we can count on having
regex support (through gnulib), so be more precise in the description.

docs: remove mention of the quotestr for when regex support is lacking
...
Since version 2.8.0, nano will use (wnen needed) the regex routines
from gnulib, so mentioning the quotestr for when regex support is
lacking, has been obsolete and pointless for more than a year.
Also, remove some superfluous backslashes, use a non-breaking space
in the texinfo document, and order the regex consistently.
