Hi,


Thanks for the new features!

I coulnd't get this one to work. I tried Nano 5.1 downloaded this morning.
Alt+Insert shows a white-on-red error message "Unknown sequence".
Esc+Insert offers "File to insert [from ./]".
(I used the -I switch.)

It's nice to have this menu.

With "set nohelp", though, it's confusing. I like the extra screenspace 
offered by this option, but it makes ^T hard to discover now. Can the help 
lines at the bottom be shown in this menu regarless of "set nohelp"?
