Re: Key bindings

[Marcus Rhodes]

Thanks, Benno.

Yes. I see that Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End work in gnome/mate terminal, as well as in xterm, the linux virtual terminals, and even Win10's CMD.EXE. And thank you for adding those. I love what you've done with nano. I particularly love the Ctrl+Shift+cursor keys. Well done!

But I'm using Win7's CMD.EXE, and it does differ from Win10's.

Also, perhaps Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to cycle through the open documents?

Is there any way to bind Ctrl and navigation keys such as home, end, etc.? I'd

like to use the same keystrokes that work with most other editors, like Ctrl+Home

to jump to the first line, Ctrl+End to jump to the last line, etc. If not, can we

get that added to a pending features list?

What version of nano are you using?  Since nano-2.8.1 Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End

should already do what you want them to do.  If that is not the case, what

terminal/emulator are you using?  It ought to work fine at least on xterm,

on all VTE-based emulators (like Gnome Terminal and Xfce Terminal), and on

the Linux console.  It does not work on the BSD consoles.

To answer your question: nano does not provide a mechanism to rebind any

of the dedicated cursor-movement keys (with or without Shift/Ctrl/Alt).

There are no plans to make this possible.
