Benno Schulenberg c3a11fb7ed options: remove '--quiet' and 'set quiet', because they hide problems
If the user uses a single version of nano, they have no need for
--quiet.  If they do sometimes use an older version and don't want
to see the warnings, they can use 2>/dev/null (they could make an
alias for that and put it before the call of nano).

David Lawrence Ramsey 2356693b81 docs: document the more everyday names of three bindable functions
List "browser", "pageup" and "pagedown" in the manuals; the first
because it matches "speller", and the latter two because they are
what these functions are commonly known by.  The names "tofiles",
"prevpage" and "nextpage" are now undocumented, but they are still
recognized by the code, as they match the tags for these functions.

Benno Schulenberg ba65cd48cc bindings: make ^Q and ^S do something useful by default
^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.

Add them to the help viewer too, so that searching backward becomes
possible there.

Benno Schulenberg ac7a071893 options: recognize -a and --atblanks on the command line
In nano, -a is only effective when also -$ is given, so this will
not conflict with Pico since Pico does not know the -$ option.
2017-07-07 13:07:10 +02:00
David Lawrence Ramsey bb4d0d548a new feature: allow lines to be softwrapped at whitespace
Extend get_softwrap_breakpoint() to break softwrapped lines on
whitespace when a flag is set.  This flag is controlled by the new
rcfile option "atblanks".  The '>' characters marking two-column
characters at the edge of the screen are disabled when it's on.

If get_softwrap_breakpoint() can't find whitespace in screen range, it
will break the line on the screen edge.  (In this case, a blank can be
on the last column of the screen, but text can't, so that a blank on the
last column doesn't become invisible and possibly break the display.)

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?49959.

(but don't mention this explicitly).

Benno Schulenberg 754c62c5cc copyright: update the years, use ranges, and explain this usage
The interval 2013-2017 for the Free Software Foundation is valid
because in those years there were releases with changes by either
Chris or David, and the GNU maintainers guide advises to mention
a new year in all files of a package, not just in the ones that
actually changed, and be done with it for the rest of the year.

Benno Schulenberg 54e6fe2b4a build: install the Info and Html manuals even when 'makeinfo' is missing
If the system on which nano is configured does not have the 'makeinfo'

should nevertheless be installed.

Also, the TEXINFOS primary has built-in rules for generating HTML files
from the texinfo sources, so an explicit rule is not needed.

(The variable 'pletion_line' is not conditionalized with this option, as
it would become messy.  The compiler will probably be able to elide it.)

When using --enable-tiny, it is not possible to use --enable-wordcomp,
because the word completion function uses the undo system.
