@danie10 FWIW, you can also set these options and a lot more in the nano config file. There should be a nicely-annotated default version at /etc/nanorc to copy and edit.

@screambiogenesis wow thanks yes I missed that, and there you can actually do more including keybinding changes (which you want to be sure you do on other machines too otherwise you'd forget how to exit)

Not a huge fan, as I find that #Vim
is usually much faster for me, but I do use it in a pinch here and there, although I alias nano to #pico ;)

On #NetBSD, at least at #SDF, nano is still the default install from the U of Washington contribs (not pico).

The other half of that equation is #pine (alpine). When running #mutt, I do use nano over that of #vi for authoring my emails.

Thanks for sharing those #ProTip's Danie :)

I got a kick out of reading this old thread from HN just now ;)
