CLI Editor

nano

  • -c, --const - Constantly display the cursor position and line number on the statusbar. Note that this overrides -U.
  • -U, --quickblank - Do quick statusbar blanking. Statusbar messages will disappear after 1 keystroke instead of 25. Note that -c overrides this.
  • -S, --smooth - Enable smooth scrolling. Text will scroll line-by-line, instead of the usual chunk-by-chunk behavior.
  • -m, --mouse - 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.
