nanorc.sample

## Sample initialization file for GNU nano
## Please note that you must have configured nano with 
## --enable-nanorc for this file to be read!
##
## To make sure a value is not enabled, use "unset <option>"

## Use auto-indentation
# set autoindent

## Backup files to filename~
# set backup

## Constantly update the cursor position
# set const

## Use cut to end of line with ^K by default
# set cut

## Use this value instead of the default
## An out-of-range negative value can make nano die complaining that the
## screen is too small
## set fill -8

## Use alternate keypad routines
# set keypad

## Allow multiple file buffers (using ^R inserts into separate buffer)
## You must have configured with --enable-multibuffer or --enable-extra
## for this to work
##
## set multibuffer

## Don't convert files from DOS/Mac format
# set noconvert

## Don't follow symlinks when writing files
# set nofollow

## Don't display the help lists at the bottom of the screen
# set nohelp

## Don't wrap text at all
# set nowrap

## Set operating directory (chroot of sorts)
# set operatingdir "~"

## Preserve the XON and XOFF keys (^Q and ^S)
# set preserve

## The email-quote string.  This is a "regular expression" if your
## system supports them, otherwise a literal string.  Default
# set quotestr "^([ \t]*[|>:}#])+" if you have regexps, otherwise
# set quotestr "> ".
## You can get old nano quoted-justify behavior via:
# set quotestr "(> )+"

## Do regular expression searches by default 
# set regexp

## Use smooth scrolling as the default
# set smooth

## Use this spelling checker instead of the default one
# set speller aspell

## Allow nano to be suspended with ^Z
# set suspend

## Use this tab size instead of the default; it must be greater than 0
# set tabsize 4

## Save automatically on exit, don't prompt
# set tempfile

## Disallow file modification, why would you want this in an rc file? ;)
# set view

## Color setup
## Format: 
## syntax "short description" ["filename regex" ...]
## color foreground,background "regex" ["regex"...]
##
## Legal colors are: white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, purple,
## cyan.  You may use the prefix "bright" to mean a stronger color
## highlight.
##
## To use multi-line regexes use the 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.

# syntax "c-file" ".*\.c$" ".*\.h$"
# color red "\<[A-Z_]{2,}\>" 
# color green "\<float\>" "\<char\>" "\<int\>" "\<void\>"
# color green "\<static\>" "\<const\>" "\<struct\>" 
# color brightyellow "\<if\>" "\<while\>" "\<do\>" "\<else\>" "\<case\>" "\<switch\>"
# color brightcyan "#define" "#include" "#ifn*def" "#endif" 
# color brightcyan "#elif" "#else" "#if"

## You will in general want your comments and strings to come last,
## because syntax highlighting rules will be applied in the order they
## are read in.  Note that quotes in regexes should not be escaped (use "
## instead of \").

# color brightyellow "<[^= ]*>" ""(\\.|[^\"])*""

## This string is VERY resource intensive!!!
# color brightyellow start=""(\\.|[^\"])*\\( |	)*$" end="^(\\.|[^\"])*""

## And we want to have some nice comment highlighting too
# color brightblue "//.*"
# color brightblue start="/\*" end="\*/"


## Here are some short examples for TeX files and HTML
# syntax "HTML" "\.html$"
#
# color blue start="<" end=">"
# color red "&([^; ])*;"
#
# syntax "TeX" "\.tex$"
#
# color green "\\(.|([A-Za-z]*))"
# color magenta "\{" "\}"
# color blue "%.*"


## For this you will probably want to set your editor to "nano -Y mutt"
# syntax "mutt"
# color green "^>.*"


## Here is are examples for groff and for your .nanorc

#syntax "groff" "\.ms$" "\.mm$" "\.me$" "\.tmac$" "^tmac." ".rof"
## The argument of .nr or .ds
#color cyan "^\.ds [^ ]*"
#color cyan "^\.nr [^ ]*"
## Single character escapes
#color brightmagenta "\\."
## Highlight the argument of \f or \s in the same colour
#color brightmagenta "\\f."
#color brightmagenta "\\f\(.."
#color brightmagenta "\\s(\+|\-)?[0-9]"
## \n
#color cyan "(\\|\\\\)n."
#color cyan "(\\|\\\\)n\(.."
#color cyan start="(\\|\\\\)n\[" end="]"
## Requests
#color brightgreen "^\. *[^ ]*"
## Comments
#color yellow "^\.\\\".*$"
## Strings
#color green "(\\|\\\\)\*."
#color green "(\\|\\\\)\*\(.."
#color green start="(\\|\\\\)\*\[" end="]"
## Characters
#color brightred "\\\(.."
#color brightred start="\\\[" end="]"
## Macro arguments
#color brightcyan "\\\\\$[1-9]"
