| ## 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 }. |
| |
| ## 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 |
| |
| ## Use auto-indentation. |
| # 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. They cannot contain blank characters. Only closing |
| ## punctuation, optionally followed by 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 |
| ## (The old form, 'const', is deprecated.) |
| |
| ## 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 |
| |
| ## Make the justify command kill whitespace at the end of lines. |
| # set justifytrim |
| |
| ## 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 pause between warnings at startup. Which means that only the |
| ## last one will be readable (when there are multiple ones). |
| # set nopauses |
| |
| ## Don't add newlines to the ends of files. |
| # set nonewlines |
| |
| ## 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 |
| ## (The old form, 'poslog', is deprecated.) |
| |
| ## 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 if your system supports them, |
| ## otherwise a literal string. |
| ## If you have extended regular expression support, the default is: |
| # set quotestr "^([ ]*[#:>\|}])+" |
| ## Otherwise: |
| # 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 |
| |
| ## 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. |
| # set titlecolor brightwhite,blue |
| # set statuscolor brightwhite,green |
| # 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,red |
| # set statuscolor 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 |
