new document: a condensed overview of nano's shortcut keystrokes
...
It's in a two-column format that fits on a single page, and uses the
more widely known Ctrl+X and Alt+X notations (instead of ^X and M-X).
The file is published on https://nano-editor.org/cheatsheet.html .

bindings: remove the jumpy-scrolling toggle entirely
...
It is still possible to use --jumpyscrolling on the command line or
'set jumpyscrolling' in a nanorc file, but a user will have to restart
nano when they decide they want chunky instead of smooth scrolling,
a decision that should be rather rare.
This frees up the M-S keystroke to be reused for toggling softwrap.
