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.
