Thanks.

Strange.  Please search for "hex codes" in src/winio.c, comment
the #ifdef and #endif around that piece of code, and recompile.
Then run `src/nano 2>TRAIL; cat TRAIL` and type:

   Alt+Home  Alt+End  Alt+PgUp  Alt+PgDn  ^X

Then paste the result here.  For me this gives:

   Sequence of hex codes: 21e

   Sequence of hex codes: 219

   Sequence of hex codes: 22d

   Sequence of hex codes:  18

(Alt+PageUp produces nothing on this laptop.)

Also, what terminal are you using and what is TERM set to?

Strange.  When using the same CFLAGS, nano-8.0 should be about
three percent larger than nano-7.2.

It should have been installed already: you couldn't have compiled
nano-7.x without it either.
