Since then, lines do not seem to hard wrap: I open Nano on a file, start writing, and when I reach the right end of the terminal the cursor does not come back to the first column. I also tried with "nano -I". If I'm reading "man nanorc" correctly (online), "set breaklonglines" should tell Nano to hard-wrap. The man says "when it becomes overlong", which I interpret as "longer than the terminal's width", but maybe it means something else. Anyway, it doesn't seem to work. To check that this option was not overriden by another, I made a .nanorc containing just this one line. What am I doing wrong? How can I get lines to hard-wrap again? Thanks! Sébastien. ---1155178722-821631063-1763383317=:18216--
