Which bindings changed?

bind ^F forward main

bind ^B back main

bind M-f nextword main

bind M-b prevword main

  • What did the maintainer change them to instead?

    (Because tone doesn't always come across, I'm asking out of curiosity, not to like challenge you about it.)

    • Seems GP got somewhere confused as well. From `man nano`:

             Since  version  8.0,  to  be  newcomer  friendly, ^F starts a forward
             search, ^B starts a backward search, M-F searches the next occurrence
             forward, and M-B searches the next occurrence backward.  If you  want
             those keystrokes to do what they did before version 8.0, add the fol‐
             lowing lines at the end of your nanorc file:
      
                 bind ^F forward main
                 bind ^B back main
                 bind M-F formatter main
                 bind M-B linter main
      

      M-F/B have not defaulted to nextword/prevword, or at least haven't within the last 10y since have those binds in the earliest version of nanorc in my .config git repo.
