[»] excellent performance on very large files
by csaveanu - Mar 13th 2007 15:33:05

Congratulations for the nano developers! A long time nano user for small tasks, I discovered today the syntax highlighting abilities and all the features that can be activated with the .nanorc file. This is simply amazing. Nano also saved my day when it allowed me to edit a very large text file that neither SciTE (an excellent editor by itself, that I use for writing code since it does auto-complete in a very useful way) nor powerful vim (in the user-friendly Cream incarnation) wanted to handle gracefully.

Having auto-completion would push nano at the top of the text editors list for me. It is almost there with all the features and its no-nonsense interface. Thank you very much.

[»] Replace Capability Question
by StarDragonII - Apr 6th 2005 17:41:42

Hello,

Just wondering is there capability to do replacements with special characters such as newlines, and EOF? Kinda like doing s/^/ / in vi.

[»] Scroll with cursor still broken
by shancock - Nov 27th 2004 14:07:21

The bug: - When at the very bottom of the edit window, do_wrap goes berserk and
puts the cursor somewhere bad; subsequent keystrokes crash the program
(14) [FIXED, mostly]

is still present for me and is a show stopper. This problem makes the editor unusable. While it does not crash for me, the screen is so jumbled that one has to exit and start over being careful to use only page up and down untill reaching the point of edit, then resume with page up and down. Big pain. Sometimes even page up and down foul the screen.

This is present in both the stable and development versions. It occurs on all my linux boxes - Fedora Core 2 and 3, SuSE 9.1 and 9.2 and SLES 9.

    Hello,

    I'm assuming you mean paste from X window? nano should not be interfering with your normal X mouse actions...I'm curious, what version of nano are you using, and with what distribuion of Linux/*BSD/WIndows/etc? Also, what terminal program are you running nano in? Thanks much.

      Yeah...it's rather weird, apparently it's only in certain contexts.
      Cuz I have had the problem go either way...I'm rather confused, cuz this time I tried it and nano would do it but not pico. But last time it was the other way 'round.
      It's GNU nano version 1.0.0 (compiled 23:01:44, Oct 27 2002)
      Compiled options:

      on a slackware 8.1 system. Which actually has multiple other problems but none of them have to do with terminals or text-editors. ;)

      I usually use eterm or aterm (aterm is to eterm what nano is to pico ;) ).

      I'm not absolute certain anymore which one is the problem, nano or pico. I'm thinking nano was the one I had the prob with originally so what just happened was messed up. *shrug*

[»] Pico Clone
by Elik - Aug 4th 2000 05:27:57

Excellent clone. It have same functionality as the regular Pico without the pesky Pine program and all the baggage that came with it.

Excellent editor to give to newbie shell account holders who want to use text editor but want pico, not Vi like us power trippers.

    There are enough situations in which lighter, tinier tools are the most practical ones, eventually. (And: not just for the newbies only.) Nano is a fast, understatement, 80/20 editor. (A la pico, yes ... it works, e.g., beautifully with pine and mutt.) I am impressed too. Indeed, I have switched from pico to nano. (Last but not least, it's free.)

This looks just like Pico. Truly this is a good editor. I'm impressed. Toga! Toga! Toga!

    [»] very good work, but...
    by lim3gr3en - Feb 20th 2001 03:53:55

    I use nano very often because it's really light. I'm still waiting for some improvements, such as the possibility to run shell commands directly from nano. Also the italian translation is not really excellent: some labels in the menu are too long, so they are cut in a bad way. Nonetheless, very good job!
