Hi Benno, Yes, I think it would be good to have it on man page. Also I think it could be among the first options in the help screen (^G). Thanks a lot!

But the thing is, when the user uses --preserve, ^S will do something else, so we would have to display the ^S conditionally. Also, as you will have noticed, the shortcuts in the help lines are listed pairwise: two keys that are strongly or weakly related. To keep that pairing, ^S would have to replace ^O. But... ^O is more versatile than ^S, so it's better to display that one instead of ^S. Would it help to mention ^S in the manual page (man nano)? > Thank you guys very much for this amazing tool! > > Rafael David Benno _______________________________________________ Help-nano mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-nano
