2021.12.15 - GNU nano 6.0 "Humor heeft ook zijn leuke kanten" • Option --zero hides the title bar, status bar and help lines, and uses all rows of the terminal as editing area. The title bar and status bar can be toggled with M-Z. • Colors can now be specified also as three-digit hexadecimal numbers, in the format #rgb. This picks from the 216 index colors (that most terminals know) the color that is nearest to the given values. • For users who dislike numbers, there are fourteen new color names: rosy, beet, plum, sea, sky, slate, teal, sage, brown, ocher, sand, tawny, brick, and crimson. • Suspension is enabled by default, invokable with ^T^Z. The options -z, --suspendable, and 'set suspendable' are obsolete and ignored. (In case you want to be able to suspend nano with a single keystroke, you can put 'bind ^Z suspend main' in your nanorc.) • When automatic hard-wrapping is in effect, pasting just a few words (without a line break) will now hard-wrap the line when needed. • Toggling Append or Prepend clears the current filename. • The word count as shown by M-D is now affected by option --wordbounds; with it, nano counts words as 'wc' does; without it (the new default), words are counted in a more human way: seeing punctuation as space. • The YAML syntax file is now actually included in the tarball. GNU nano is a simple and easy-to-use editor for on the terminal. https://nano-editor.org/ https://nano-editor.org/manual.html A concise overview of nano's shortcut keystrokes: https://nano-editor.org/cheatsheet.html The tarball and its signature are here: https://nano-editor.org/dist/v6/nano-6.0.tar.xz https://nano-editor.org/dist/v6/nano-6.0.tar.xz.asc Running the attached little script will show all colors and their codes.
