Hi Benno, > The keystroke you are looking for is M-3 or, in your case, <Esc> <3>. Aaahhh... Yes... Thank you. I was probably influenced by Tab, which works both on lines and on selected blocks. I'm not sure this behaviour should be extended to commenting (ie making # or % act like M-3 if a block is selected), but perhaps it's worth a thought. >> https://www.nano-editor.org/dist/latest/nano.html#Nanorc-Files > The function keyword is 'comment', located right after 'unindent'. Right. As you pointed out, my keystroke was wrong so I should have looked in the section regarding nano's behaviour, not the one about nanorc. I search "M-3" in this online man page and found only one appearance: 10 Building and its Options [...] --disable-comment Exclude the single-keystroke comment/uncomment function (M-3). So really the right place to look for the shortcut is the cheat sheet at https://www.nano-editor.org/dist/latest/cheatsheet.html Seb.
