Edit file File name : nanorc Content :## Sample initialization file for GNU nano. ## ## This file should not be in DOS or Mac format, and characters ## specially interpreted by the shell should not be escaped here. ## ## To make sure an option is disabled, use "unset <option>". ## ## For the options that take parameters, the default value is given. ## Other options are unset by default. ## ## Inside string parameters, quotes should not be escaped. The last ## double quote on the line will be seen as the closing quote. ## Make the 'nextword' function (Ctrl+Right) stop at word ends ## instead of at beginnings. # set afterends ## When soft line wrapping is enabled, make it wrap lines at blanks ## (tabs and spaces) instead of always at the edge of the screen. # set atblanks ## Automatically indent a newly created line to the same number of ## tabs and/or spaces as the preceding line -- or as the next line ## if the preceding line is the beginning of a paragraph. # set autoindent ## Back up files to the current filename plus a tilde. # set backup ## The directory to put unique backup files in. # set backupdir "" ## Use bold text instead of reverse video text. # set boldtext ## The characters treated as closing brackets when justifying paragraphs. ## This may not include any blank characters. Only closing punctuation, ## optionally followed by these closing brackets, can end sentences. # set brackets ""')>]}" ## Automatically hard-wrap the current line when it becomes overlong. # set breaklonglines ## Do case-sensitive searches by default. # set casesensitive ## Constantly display the cursor position in the status bar. Note that ## this overrides "quickblank". # set constantshow ## Use cut-from-cursor-to-end-of-line by default. # set cutfromcursor ## Do not use the line below the title bar, leaving it entirely blank. # set emptyline ## Set the target width for automatic hard-wrapping and for justifying ## paragraphs. If the specified value is 0 or less, the wrapping point ## will be the terminal's width minus this number. # set fill -8 ## Remember the used search/replace strings for the next session. set historylog ## Scroll the buffer contents per half-screen instead of per line. # set jumpyscrolling ## Display line numbers to the left of the text. # set linenumbers ## Enable vim-style lock-files. This is just to let a vim user know you ## are editing a file [s]he is trying to edit and vice versa. There are ## no plans to implement vim-style undo state in these files. set locking ## The opening and closing brackets that can be found by bracket ## searches. They cannot contain blank characters. The former set must ## come before the latter set, and both must be in the same order. # set matchbrackets "(<[{)>]}" ## Enable mouse support, if available for your system. When enabled, ## mouse clicks can be used to place the cursor, set the mark (with a ## double click), and execute shortcuts. The mouse will work in the X ## Window System, and on the console when gpm is running. # set mouse ## Switch on multiple file buffers (inserting a file will put it into ## a separate buffer). # set multibuffer ## Don't convert files from DOS/Mac format. # set noconvert ## Don't display the helpful shortcut lists at the bottom of the screen. # set nohelp ## Don't automatically add a newline when a file does not end with one. # set nonewlines ## Set operating directory. nano will not read or write files outside ## this directory and its subdirectories. Also, the current directory ## is changed to here, so any files are inserted from this dir. A blank ## string means the operating-directory feature is turned off. # set operatingdir "" ## Remember the cursor position in each file for the next editing session. # set positionlog ## Preserve the XON and XOFF keys (^Q and ^S). # set preserve ## The characters treated as closing punctuation when justifying ## paragraphs. They cannot contain blank characters. Only closing ## punctuation, optionally followed by closing brackets, can end ## sentences. # set punct "!.?" ## Do quick status-bar blanking. Status-bar messages will disappear after ## 1 keystroke instead of 26. Note that "constantshow" overrides this. # set quickblank ## The regular expression that matches quoting characters in email ## or line-comment introducers in source code. The default is: # set quotestr "^([ ]*([!#%:;>|}]|//))+" ## Try to work around a mismatching terminfo terminal description. # set rawsequences ## Fix Backspace/Delete confusion problem. # set rebinddelete ## Do regular-expression searches by default. ## Regular expressions are of the extended type (ERE). # set regexp ## Put the cursor on the highlighted item in the file browser, and show ## the cursor in the help viewer; useful for people who use a braille ## display and people with poor vision. # set showcursor ## Make the Home key smarter. When Home is pressed anywhere but at the ## very beginning of non-whitespace characters on a line, the cursor ## will jump to that beginning (either forwards or backwards). If the ## cursor is already at that position, it will jump to the true ## beginning of the line. # set smarthome ## Enable soft line wrapping (AKA full-line display). # set softwrap ## Use this spelling checker instead of the internal one. This option ## does not have a default value. # set speller "aspell -x -c" ## Allow nano to be suspended. set suspend ## Use this tab size instead of the default; it must be greater than 0. # set tabsize 8 ## Convert typed tabs to spaces. # set tabstospaces ## Save automatically on exit; don't prompt. # set tempfile ## Snip whitespace at the end of lines when justifying or hard-wrapping. # set trimblanks ## Disallow file modification. Why would you want this in an rcfile? ;) # set view ## The two single-column characters used to display the first characters ## of tabs and spaces. 187 in ISO 8859-1 (0000BB in Unicode) and 183 in ## ISO-8859-1 (0000B7 in Unicode) seem to be good values for these. ## The default when in a UTF-8 locale: # set whitespace "»·" ## The default otherwise: # set whitespace ">." ## Detect word boundaries differently by treating punctuation ## characters as parts of words. # set wordbounds ## The characters (besides alphanumeric ones) that should be considered ## as parts of words. This option does not have a default value. When ## set, it overrides option 'set wordbounds'. # set wordchars "<_>." ## Let an unmodified Backspace or Delete erase the marked region (instead ## of a single character, and without affecting the cutbuffer). # set zap ## Paint the interface elements of nano. These are examples; ## by default there are no colors, except for errorcolor. # set titlecolor brightwhite,blue # set statuscolor brightwhite,green # set errorcolor brightwhite,red # set selectedcolor brightwhite,magenta # set stripecolor ,yellow # set numbercolor cyan # set keycolor cyan # set functioncolor green ## In root's .nanorc you might want to use: # set titlecolor brightwhite,magenta # set statuscolor brightwhite,magenta # set errorcolor brightwhite,red # set selectedcolor brightwhite,cyan # set stripecolor ,yellow # set numbercolor magenta # set keycolor brightmagenta # set functioncolor magenta ## Setup of syntax coloring. ## ## syntax "name" ["filename regex" ...] ## ## color|icolor foreground,background "regex" ["regex"...] ## [...] ## ## 'color' will do case-sensitive matches, while 'icolor' will do ## case-insensitive matches. ## ## All color commands are applied in the order in which they are specified, ## meaning that later commands can recolor stuff that was colored earlier. ## ## Valid color names for foreground and background are: white, black, normal, ## red, blue, green, yellow, magenta, cyan. For foreground colors, you may ## use the prefix "bright" to get a stronger highlight. ## ## All regexes (regular expressions) are of the extended type (ERE). ## ## If the coloring rule should span multiple lines, use the following format: ## ## color fg,bg start="regex" end="regex" ## ## If you wish, you may put your syntax definitions in separate files. ## You can make use of such files as follows: ## ## include "/path/to/syntax_file.nanorc" ## To include all existing syntax definitions, you can do: include "/usr/share/nano/*.nanorc" ## If <Tab> should always produce four spaces when editing a Python file, ## independent of the settings of 'tabsize' and 'tabstospaces': # extendsyntax python tabgives " " ## If <Tab> should always produce an actual TAB when editing a Makefile: # extendsyntax makefile tabgives " " ## Key bindings. ## See nanorc(5) (section REBINDING KEYS) for more details on this. ## The <Ctrl+Delete> keystroke deletes the word to the right of the cursor. ## On some terminals the <Ctrl+Backspace> keystroke produces ^H, which is ## the ASCII character for backspace, so it is bound by default to the ## backspace function. The <Backspace> key itself produces a different ## keycode, which is hard-bound to the backspace function. So, if you ## normally use <Backspace> for backspacing and not ^H, you can make ## <Ctrl+Backspace> delete the word to the left of the cursor with: # bind ^H chopwordleft main ## If you would like nano to have keybindings that are more "usual", ## such as ^O for Open, ^F for Find, ^H for Help, and ^Q for Quit, ## then uncomment these: #bind ^Q exit all #bind ^S savefile main #bind ^W writeout main #bind ^O insert main #bind ^H help all #bind ^H exit help #bind ^F whereis all #bind ^G findnext all #bind ^B wherewas all #bind ^D findprevious all #bind ^R replace main #bind M-X flipnewbuffer all #bind ^X cut all #bind ^C copy main #bind ^V paste all #bind ^P curpos main #bind ^A mark main #unbind ^K main #unbind ^U all #unbind ^N main #unbind ^Y all #unbind M-J main #unbind M-T main #bind ^T gotoline main #bind ^T gotodir browser #bind ^Y speller main #bind M-U undo main #bind M-R redo main #bind ^U undo main #bind ^E redo main #set multibuffer Save
