Benno Schulenberg 89760cd6ec tweaks: reshuffle some conditions, putting the least likely one first 2018-11-04 20:34:50 +01:00
David Lawrence Ramsey f02e2d3b6e input: properly recognize Alt+Delete when using -K/--rebindkeypad
This works for xterm, rxvt, Eterm, Konsole, and xfce4-terminal, which
generate "Esc [ 3 ; 3 ~", but not for urxvt, which generates one of
its double-escape sequences, "Esc Esc [ 3 ~".

Brand Huntsman 252f14796e bindings: hard-bind the zap function to M-Del (Alt+Delete)
So that the function is available in a default setup.

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 477f63d8b5 linter: do not pause when there are no messages for unopened files
Return immediately to editing mode when there are no messages for
the original file and the user does not wish to open any of the
included files that do have messages.

Also, reword the message that the linter gives then, and leave it
on the status bar (just like when Cancel is pressed).

Benno Schulenberg 95dd873205 bindings: no longer bind F13 and F14 and F15
The bindings for F1 to F12 are there for compatibility with Pico.
But Pico does not know anything about F13 to F16; for unknown reasons
they were added to nano.  They seem hardly useful: normal keyboards
do not have the F13 to F16 keys, and very few people know that they
can "produce" those keys by holding Shift with F1 to F4.  But typing
Shift plus F1 to F4 are just as "hard" as, for example, M-G and M-W,
so why anyone would want to use the first ones...?  Especially since
many other functions of nano can only be accessed through Meta and
Control combinations.

Furthermore, F13 to F15 haven't been shown in the help texts since
version 2.3.3, so for more than four years no new user will have
learned about those keystrokes.

The rare user who wants these strange bindings can easily make them
herself.

Benno Schulenberg 91155486c7 docs: document the slightly changed workings of the --view option 2018-10-23 19:29:18 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg 63f2be7a2f options: let view mode activate "multibuffer" to allow viewing more files
When --view is used without --ignorercfiles, the user could view
other files anyway if they had 'set multibuffer' in their nanorc.
So, just make this the default when --view is used, also because
"multibuffer" cannot be toggled once nano is running in view mode.

When the viewing of other files in view mode should not be allowed,
one should now additionally use --restricted.

David Lawrence Ramsey 16a3dc90c7 wrapping: make relative fill values work again also for screen resizes
The 'wrap_at' variable, removed in commit e90b7cf4, is actually needed
to store the original value of the --fill option when it is negative.
Otherwise, changing the screen width will not update the wrapping point
properly.

Benno Schulenberg c43177487a help: pull "Older" and "Newer" into view on an 80-column terminal
The ^P and ^N keystrokes for Older and Newer are relevant to searching
and should be visible in the help lines.  FullJustify, paragraph jumps,
and top/tail jumping are there only for compatibility with Pico but
don't make any sense there, so it's no problem if they are pushed out
of view.

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 6b08648377 feedback: give proper message for ^R when combining --view & --restricted
When using --view --multibuffer --restricted, it is the latter option

should say.

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.
