To make it obvious that they are not actual characters in the file.
The default highlighting is in reverse video, but this can be changed
to bold by using --bold or 'set boldtext'.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55571.
The angular brackets look a bit like arrows and thus hint much more
at the idea of continuation than a dollar sign.

When the screen's edge leaves just one column for a two-column
character, then show its left half as "[" and its right half as "]".
(They used to be shown as ">" and "<", but these characters will be
repurposed in the next commit.)
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55657.

The get_history_older_void() and get_history_newer_void() functions
are mere names, they don't actually do anything. So... don't bother
to execute them, so the 'finished' variable doesn't have to be reset
after calling them.
Also, normalize the order of those two empty functions.
When doing replacements or fixing misspelled words, and edit_refresh()
is called to highlight the relevant word, then the current menu can be
anything from MREPLACEWITH, MYESNO, MSPELL, or MMAIN. Make sure it is
always set to the latter just before calling edit_refresh(), so that
display_string() will use the full length and the word gets properly
highlighted.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55680.

Bug was introduced by the previous commit, 56181896.
It needs to be trimmed and substituted with a single-width placeholder
to prevent the continuation character ">" from getting pushed to the
next row.
Also, use the correct width for the answer so that the continuation
character is only displayed when the answer does not fit any more.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55620.

When a line ends with a two-column character, and this character straddles
the edit window's edge, then, although we've reached the end of 'buf', we
have exceeded the 'beyond' column and this two-column character needs to
be trimmed from the 'converted' string, otherwise it would get printed on
the next row.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55638.
Bug existed since version 2.8.0, commit 5283acdc.
Also, enable smooth scrolling by default, and don't waste the row
directly below the title bar. The use of the latter also serves
as a small visual reminder that this nano is different.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55067.
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.
Using the cursor keys for movement-related functions makes more sense
than using them for jumping to the previous or next occurrence of the
search string.
(For searching another occurrence backward the M-Q binding has become
available, while M-W will search another occurrence always forward.)
Now also comment blocks in Fortran, Lisp, Lua, Postgres, and TeX
can be rewrapped with ^J.

The user did not move the cursor nor intend to move the cursor, so
leave things as they are.

After a series of escapes, also <Shift+Meta+letter> should be recognized
as a command keystroke, not just <Meta+letter>.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55442.
Bug existed since the ignoring of <Escape>s before a valid command
keystroke was introduced in version 3.0, commit ecc9211a.
When the user switches backups on later (with M-B in the ^O menu),
the specified folder should have been checked for validity.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55423.
Bug existed since the check for a valid backup directory was introduced
in version 2.8.7, commit 751e7f0f.
The reduced file size should be stored not just when joining two lines
but also when simply a character in the middle of a line is deleted.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55352.
Bug existed since version 2.5.0, commit 66e21416.
All tested systems (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Alpine, and Ubuntu)
support the GNU-style word boundaries (\< and \>), either natively
or through using the regex module from gnulib.
If this change breaks regexes containing \< or \> on your system,
please report a bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=nano
