 | | Many of you will probably be aware of pico, the lightweight text-editor that comes with OS X. While there are very powerful text editors available, such as emacs and vi, pico still remains a great editor for simple text editing and beginning programmers, due to its intuitive interface. |
 | | For programmers: start nano with the -c and -i arguments, -c automatically turns on cursor position display and -i turns on auto-indent, which indents the next line the same amount as the previous. |
 | | This version of GNU nano features version 0.11.2 of gettext, building with automake 1.6, some new code for displaying control characters, browser improvements, a new backup file option (-B, --backup), a new option to ignore rc files (-I,--ignorercfiles), compatibility with -pedantic, handling null characters before EOF, a slightly sportier nanorc.sample and more. |
