## Sample initialization file for GNU nano.

##

## Please note that you must have configured nano with --enable-nanorc

## for this file to be read!  Also note that this file should not be in

## DOS or Mac format, and that 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.

##

## Quotes inside string parameters don't have to be escaped with

## backslashes.  The last double quote in the string will be treated as

## its end.  For example, for the "brackets" option, ""')>]}" will match

## ", ', ), >, ], and }.

## 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 ""')>]}"

## 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

## (The old form, 'cut', is deprecated.)

## Set the line length for wrapping text and justifying paragraphs.

## If the value is 0 or less, the wrapping point will be the screen

## width less this number.

# set fill -8

## Remember the used search/replace strings for the next session.

# set historylog

## 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 "(<[{)>]}"

## Use the blank line below the title bar as extra editing space.

# set morespace

## 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

## Don't pause between warnings at startup.  Which means that only the

## last one will be readable (when there are multiple ones).

# set nopauses

## Don't wrap text at all.

# set nowrap

## 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 email-quote string, used to justify email-quoted paragraphs.

## This is an extended regular expression.  The default is:

# set quotestr "^([ 	]*([#:>|}]|//))+"

## Fix Backspace/Delete confusion problem.

# set rebinddelete

## Fix numeric keypad key confusion problem.

# set rebindkeypad

## Do extended regular expression searches by default.

# set regexp

## Put the cursor on the highlighted item in the file browser;

## useful for people who use a braille display.

# 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

## Use smooth scrolling as the default.

# set smooth

## 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

## (The old form, 'justifytrim', is deprecated.)

## 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 "<_>."

## 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 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 numbercolor magenta

# set keycolor brightmagenta

# set functioncolor magenta

## Setup of syntax coloring.

##

## Format:

##

## syntax "short description" ["filename regex" ...]

##

## The "none" syntax is reserved; specifying it on the command line is

## the same as not having a syntax at all.  The "default" syntax is

## special: it takes no filename regexes, and applies to files that

## don't match any other syntax's filename regexes.

##

## color foreground,background "regex" ["regex"...]

## or

## icolor foreground,background "regex" ["regex"...]

##

## "color" will do case-sensitive matches, while "icolor" will do

## case-insensitive matches.

##

## Valid colors: white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, magenta, cyan.

## For foreground colors, you may use the prefix "bright" to get a

## stronger highlight.

##

## To use multi-line regexes, use the start="regex" end="regex"

## [start="regex" end="regex"...] format.

##

## If your system supports transparency, not specifying a background

## color will use a transparent color.  If you don't want this, be sure

## to set the background color to black or white.

##

## All regexes should be extended regular expressions.

##

## 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"

##

## Unless otherwise noted, the name of the syntax file (without the

## ".nanorc" extension) should be the same as the "short description"

## name inside that file.  These names are kept fairly short to make

## them easier to remember and faster to type using nano's -Y option.

##

## To include all existing syntax definitions, you can do:

# include "@PKGDATADIR@/*.nanorc"

## Key bindings.

## See nanorc(5) (section REBINDING KEYS) for more details on this.

##

## The following two functions are not bound to any key by default.

## You may wish to choose other keys than the ones suggested here.

# bind M-B cutwordleft main

# bind M-N cutwordright main

## Set this if your Backspace key sends Del most of the time.

# bind Del backspace all
