2020.12.02 - GNU nano 5.4  "Terre des hommes"

=E2=80=A2 Moving the cursor now skips over combining characters (and othe=
r
  zero-width characters).  Deleting a character deletes also any
  succeeding zero-width characters, but backspacing deletes just
  one character at a time.


GNU nano is a simple and easy-to-use editor for on the terminal.
