Re: Key bindings

Thanks, Benno.

Yes.  I see that Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End work in gnome/mate terminal, as
well as in xterm, the linux virtual terminals, and even Win10's
CMD.EXE.  And thank you for adding those.  I love what you've done with
nano.  I particularly love the Ctrl+Shift+cursor keys.  Well done!

But I'm using Win7's CMD.EXE, and it does differ from Win10's.

Also, perhaps Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to cycle through the open
documents?

What version of nano are you using?  Since nano-2.8.1 Ctrl+Home and
Ctrl+Endshould already do what you want them to do.  If that is not the
case, whatterminal/emulator are you using?  It ought to work fine at
least on xterm,on all VTE-based emulators (like Gnome Terminal and Xfce
Terminal), and onthe Linux console.  It does not work on the BSD
consoles.
To answer your question: nano does not provide a mechanism to rebind
anyof the dedicated cursor-movement keys (with or without
Shift/Ctrl/Alt).There are no plans to make this possible.
