Benno Schulenberg ee78f2348b rcfile: rename bindable function 'curpos' to 'location'
It is better that the bindable function is named the same as the
tag in the help lines, and that it is not an ugly abbreviation.

Benno Schulenberg 1a2d0c1770 scrolling: add a function and a key binding to center the cursor line
By default, this function is bound to ^L, to make that keystroke do
something actually useful.  To not lose the Refresh function that this
keystroke had, the centering function additionally does a full redraw
and refresh of the screen.

Benno Schulenberg d4ee6a2b53 options: rename --tempfile to --saveonexit, to be far clearer
A long option should describe what it does, not vaguely hint at it.

Also, in several places of nano's code we deal with actual temp files,
and then having a flag called TEMP_FILE that doesn't have anything to
do with temp files is somewhat confusing.

Benno Schulenberg 5755ecdbfc options: let --afterends affect also the deleting of words (Ctrl+Delete)
It makes more sense that <Ctrl+Delete> deletes the same thing as what
<Shift+Ctrl+Right> would select.

Benno Schulenberg 2d4bacf61d docs: stop mentioning that --wordchars overrides --wordbounds
Since the previous commit, it no longer does.  Instead, the two
interfere, and the user probably wants to use just one of them.

Benno Schulenberg 3690d60b71 rcfile: rename bindable function 'suspendenable' to 'suspendable'
The name of a toggle function should match the name of the corresponding
option, like for 'mouse' and 'linenumbers' and 'smarthome' and such.

Benno Schulenberg d141e849a3 tweaks: unabbreviate "argument" in the documentation
Also, show that the argument in the extendsyntax format is not optional,

Benno Schulenberg 4281b6becb commands: rename 'fixer' to 'formatter', to be less misleading
The word "fixer" sounds too much as if the command would be able
to fix mistakes or correct errors.  Especially when seen next to
"linter", it sounds as if one does a syntax check and the other
fixes the found mistakes.  (Although the command might in theory
be used for this, it is not its intended purpose.)

Benno Schulenberg f813fd0f4d rcfile: allow binding also F17...F24
For historical reasons the rebinding code allows binding F13...F16,
which on most terminals are typable with Shift plus F1...F4.  But,
at least on an Xfce Terminal, Shift plus F1...F12 produce F13...F24.
On a Linux console, Shift plus F1...F8 produce F13...F20.  So: allow
to bind the full shifted F13...F24 range.  It costs no extra code
and makes things more rounded.
