| # === Syntax coloring === | |
| # For all details, see 'man nanorc', section SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING. | |
| # To include most of the existing syntax definitions, you can do: | |
| include /usr/share/nano/*.nanorc | |
| # Or you can select just the ones you need. For example: | |
| include /usr/share/nano/html.nanorc | |
| include /usr/share/nano/python.nanorc | |
| include /usr/share/nano/sh.nanorc | |
| # In /usr/share/nano/extra/ you can find some syntaxes that are | |
| # specific for certain distros or for some less common languages. | |
| # If <Tab> should always produce four spaces when editing a Python file, | |
| # independent of the settings of 'tabsize' and 'tabstospaces': | |
| extendsyntax python tabgives " " | |
| # === Key bindings === | |
| # For all details, see 'man nanorc', section REBINDING KEYS. | |
| # If you want to suspend nano with one keystroke (instead of with ^T^Z): | |
| bind ^Z suspend main | |
| # 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 | |
| # For a more mnemonic Comment keystroke (overriding Cut-from-cursor): | |
| bind M-K comment main | |
| # If you want ^L to just refresh the screen and not center the cursor: | |
| bind ^L refresh main | |
| # When you sometimes type M-J instead of M-K, or M-T instead of M-R: | |
| unbind M-J main | |
| unbind M-T main | |
| # (Those functions are still accessible through ^T^J and ^T^V.) | |
| # For quickly uppercasing or lowercasing the word that the cursor is on. | |
| # (These effectively select a word and pipe it through a sed command.) | |
| bind Sh-M-U "{nextword}{mark}{prevword}{execute}| sed 's/.*/\U&/' {enter}" main | |
| bind Sh-M-L "{nextword}{mark}{prevword}{execute}| sed 's/.*/\L&/' {enter}" main | |
| # For copying a marked region to the system clipboard: | |
| bind Sh-M-C "{execute}| xsel -ib {enter}{undo}" main | |
| # For copying text to the local clipboard via OSC 52 (if terminal supports it): | |
| bind M-* "{execute}|| printf "\033]52;c;%s\007" "$(base64 | tr -d '\n')" {enter}{undo}" main | |
| # For normalizing Unicode to precomposed characters: | |
| bind Sh-M-N "{execute}| uconv -x nfc {enter}" main | |
| # For wiping all anchors in a buffer: | |
| bind Sh-M-W "{execute}| cat {enter}" main | |
| # For snipping trailing blanks when you save a file: | |
| bind ^S "{execute}| sed 's/\s\+$//' {enter}{savefile}" 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 ^X cut main | |
