You're right.  I've added back unlisted ^T toggles to the WhereIs and
GotoLine menus, similar to how ^Y/^V are already handled in WhereIs:

To save the buffer and exit from nano, right?  The first is incomplete
(it needs a ^M or <Enter> in the middle), and the second is correct only
when using --modernbindings.  Are you using the latter?

Googling for advice on the net is hit-and-miss.  A few times per year I
search the net for articles about nano.  Every such article contains some
mistake: sometimes saying that ^O^X will save and exit, sometimes to use
^W to search again, or other incomplete or non-optimal advice.  In short,
if people want reliable information they should refer to nano itself: to
the man page.
