GNU nano - an enhanced clone of the Pico text editor.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
|
|
The nano project was started because of a few "problems" with the
|
|
wonderfully easy-to-use and friendly Pico text editor.
|
|
|
|
First and foremost is its license: the Pine suite does not use the
|
|
GPL or a GPL-friendly license, and has unclear restrictions on
|
|
redistribution. Because of this, Pine and Pico are not included with
|
|
many GNU/Linux distributions. Also, other features (like goto line
|
|
number or search and replace) were unavailable until recently or
|
|
require a command line flag. Yuck.
|
|
|
|
nano aims to solve these problems by emulating the functionality of
|
|
Pico as closely as possible while addressing the problems above and
|
|
perhaps providing other extra functionality.
|
|
|
|
The nano editor is now an official GNU package. For more information
|
|
on GNU and the Free Software Foundation please see http://www.gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
How to compile and install nano
|
|
|
|
Download the nano source code, then:
|
|
tar zxvf nano-x.y.z.tar.gz
|
|
cd nano-x.y.z
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
It's that simple. Use --prefix with configure to override the
|
|
default installation directory of /usr/local.

|
|
+ nano-announce@lists.sourceforge.net is a very low traffic list

|
|
about the project.
|
|
+ nano-devel@lists.sourceforge.net is the list used by the people
|
|
that make Nano and a general development discussion list, with
|
|
moderate traffic.
|
|
To subscribe, send email to nano-<name>-request@lists.sourceforge.net
|
|
with a subject of "subscribe", where <name> is the list you want to
|
|
subscribe to.
|
|
For general bug reports, send a description of the problem to
|
|
nano@nano-editor.org or directly to the development list.
|
|
|
|
Current Status
|
|
|
|
This is the 1.1 or unstable branch of nano. New features
|
|
will be added and things will be changed around and basically
|
|
stabiliity is not guaranteed. If this is not what you're
|
|
interested in, please use the latest 1.0.x release of nano.
|
|
|
|
New features in this branch include:
|
|
+ .nanorc file support (--enable-nanorc configure option,
|
|
see sample.nanorc file)
|
|
+ Negative -r value for "#cols from right", allows dynamic adjustment
|
|
of wrap margin based on window size.
|
|
+ Write marked text to separate file (^O after selecting with ^^).
|
|
+ Append to file (Meta-A at write file menu).
|
|
+ Multiple file buffers! (--enable-multibuffer configure option,
|
|
--multibuffer, -F cmdline flag, Meta-F toggle, then ^R to load).
|
|
+ Better compatibility with Pico. Mouse mode now supports clicking
|
|
shortcuts and files in browser, search toggles that are Pico
|
|
extensions moved to Meta keys so as to not interfere with Pico
|
|
control sequences.
