Chiming in with the cheer here, it's insane that I use nano for all my programming and other system files editing, but there it is. Appreciate that nano (while staying small!) in my time of adopting it, has gained undo, rudimentary macro programming and is handling all utf-8 flawlessly! (Before nano, I used ne, and unfortunately it has been unable to keep up with utf-8, and the author says it will never handle zero-length glyphs well...)

Thanks Chris, and of course Benno, and all contributors! (Cool that Xylia is contributing too!!)
