2022.02.09 - GNU nano 6.1  "Re=C8=9Belele de socializare sunt ca un frigi=
der"

=E2=80=A2 The behavior of ^K at a prompt has been enhanced: when there is=

  text after the cursor, just this text is erased.  (In the usual
  situation, however, when the cursor is at the end of the answer,
  the behavior is as before: the whole answer is erased.)
=E2=80=A2 At a prompt, M-6 copies the current answer into the cutbuffer.
=E2=80=A2 Large external pastes into nano are handled more quickly.


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