Rather than just copying Pico’s look and feel, <b>nano</b> also implements some missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico, such as "search and replace" and "go to line and column number".</p> <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The <i>nanorc</i> file contains the default settings for <b>nano</b>. It should not be in DOS or Mac format. During startup, <b>nano</b> will first read its system-wide settings from <i>SYSCONFDIR/nanorc</i>, and then user-specific settings from <i>~/.nanorc</i>.</p> <h2>OPTIONS <a name="OPTIONS"></a> </h2> <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The configuration file accepts a series of <b>set</b> and <b>unset</b> commands, which can be used to configure nano on startup without using the command line options. Additionally, the <b>syntax</b>, <b>color</b>, and <b>icolor</b> keywords are used to define syntax highlighting rules for different text patterns. <b>nano</b> will read one command per line.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Options in <i>nanorc</i> files take precedence over nano’s defaults, and command line options override <i>nanorc</i> settings. Also, options are unset by default, except for those that take arguments.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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 <b>brackets</b> option, "<i>"’)>]}</i>" will match <i>"</i>, <i>’</i>, <i>)</i>, <i>></i>, <i>]</i>, and <i>}</i>.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The supported commands and arguments are: <b><br> set/unset allow_insecure_backup</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">When backing up files, allow the backup to succeed even if its permissions can’t be (re)set due to special OS considerations. You should NOT enable this option unless you are sure you need it.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset autoindent</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Use auto-indentation.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset backup</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Create backup files in <i>filename~</i>.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set backupdir</b> <i>directory</i></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Set the directory where <b>nano</b> puts unique backup files if file backups are enabled.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset backwards</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Do backwards searches by default.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset boldtext</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Use bold text instead of reverse video text.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set brackets</b> <i>string</i></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Set the characters treated as closing brackets when justifying paragraphs.

Note that ’\t’ stands for a literal Tab character.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset rebinddelete</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Interpret the Delete key differently so that both Backspace and Delete work properly. You should only need to use this option if Backspace acts like Delete on your system.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset rebindkeypad</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Interpret the numeric keypad keys so that they all work properly. You should only need to use this option if they don’t, as mouse support won’t work properly with this option enabled.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset regexp</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Do extended regular expression searches by default.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset poslog</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Save the cursor position of files between editing sessions.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset smarthome</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Make the Home key smarter.

All following <b>color</b> and <b>icolor</b> statements will apply to <i>syntax</i> until a new syntax is defined.</p> <p style="margin-left:15%; margin-top: 1em">The <i>none</i> syntax is reserved; specifying it on the command line is the same as not having a syntax at all. The <i>default</i> syntax is special: it takes no <i>fileregex</i>, and applies to files that don’t match any other syntax’s <i>fileregex</i>.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>magic ["</b><i>regex</i><b>" ... ]</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">For the currently defined syntax, add one or more regexes which will be compared against the <b>magic</b> database when attempting to determine which highlighting rules to use for a given file.

Legal colors for foreground and background color are: white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, magenta, and cyan. You may use the prefix "bright" to force a stronger color highlight for the foreground. If your terminal supports transparency, not specifying a <i>bgcolor</i> tells <b>nano</b> to attempt to use a transparent background.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>icolor</b> <i>fgcolor</i><b>,</b><i>bgcolor regex</i> <b>...</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Same as above, except that the expression matching is case insensitive.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>color</b> <i>fgcolor</i><b>,</b><i>bgcolor</i> <b>start="</b><i>sr</i><b>" end="</b><i>er</i><b>"</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Display expressions which start with the extended regular expression <i>sr</i> and end with the extended regular expression <i>er</i> with foreground color <i>fgcolor</i> and background color <i>bgcolor</i>, at least one of which must be specified. This allows syntax highlighting to span multiple lines. Note that all subsequent instances of <i>sr</i> after an initial <i>sr</i> is found will be highlighted until the first instance of <i>er</i>.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>icolor</b> <i>fgcolor</i><b>,</b><i>bgcolor</i> <b>start="</b><i>sr</i><b>" end="</b><i>er</i><b>"</b></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Same as above, except that the expression matching is case insensitive.</p> <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>include</b> <i>syntaxfile</i></p> <p style="margin-left:15%;">Read in self-contained color syntaxes from <i>syntaxfile</i>. Note that <i>syntaxfile</i> can only contain <b>syntax</b>, <b>color</b>, and <b>icolor</b> commands.</p> <h2>KEY BINDINGS <a name="KEY BINDINGS"></a> </h2> <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Key bindings may be reassigned via the following commands: <b><br> bind</b> <i>key function menu</i></p> <p style="margin-left:22%;">Rebinds the key <i>key</i> to a new function named <i>function</i> in the context of menu <i>menu</i>.
