Benno Schulenberg 0856f53703 docs: mention that -D/--boldtext gets overridden by some nanorc options
Also, remove an obsolete anchor, and add a missing word.

Benno Schulenberg d141e849a3 tweaks: unabbreviate "argument" in the documentation
Also, show that the argument in the extendsyntax format is not optional,
as any command requires at least one argument.  Also mention 'tabgives'
among the commands that are allowed in an included file.

Benno Schulenberg 076eb6f6af docs: mention that a negative number after "+" counts from the end
A negative line number given on the command line counts from the end
of the relevant file (-1 meaning the first line from the bottom),
and a negative column number from the end of the relevant line.

The feature was added in version 2.8.5 but not mentioned in the manual.

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.

Benno Schulenberg e90b40e651 docs: add a note saying that rebinding ^M or ^I is not advisable

Benno Schulenberg 82f1ce8ebf bindings: remove the jumpy-scrolling toggle entirely
It is still possible to use --jumpyscrolling on the command line or
'set jumpyscrolling' in a nanorc file, but a user will have to restart
nano when they decide they want chunky instead of smooth scrolling,
a decision that should be rather rare.

This frees up the M-S keystroke to be reused for toggling softwrap.

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 299e710845 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.

Benno Schulenberg 3628863f90 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.

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).

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.
