- M-Bsp deletes a word leftward.
- With --indicator a "scrollbar" is shown, indicating position+portion.
- M-Ins places an anchor, M-PgUp/M-PgDn jump to the nearest anchor.

+2020.10.07 - GNU nano 5.3 "Revolution!"
+• Option 'set stateflags' makes nano show the state of auto-indenting,
+ the mark, hard-wrapping, macro recording, and soft-wrapping in the
+ title bar. The flags take the place of "Modified", and a modified
+ buffer is instead indicated by an asterisk (*) after its name.
+• Nano no longer by default tries using libmagic to determine the type
+ of a file (when neither filename nor first line gave a clue), because
+ in most cases it is a waste of time. It requires using the option
+ --magic or -! or 'set magic' to make nano try libmagic.
+• The color of the indicator can be changed with 'set scrollercolor'.

2020.08.24 - GNU nano 5.2 "Ranrapalca"
• Making certain replacements after a large paste does not crash.
• Hitting a toggle at the Search prompt does not clear the answer.

<h3><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h3>
<blockquote><p>On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program "establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host", and was included with many older Unix systems (and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because there is no 'tip' utility included with most GNU/Linux distributions (where nano was developed).</p></blockquote>
<h3><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h3>
-<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>5.2</b>. Of course, you should always check the <a href="https://nano-editor.org/">nano homepage</a> to see what the latest and greatest version is.</p></blockquote>
