## Sample initialization file for GNU nano
## Please note that you must have configured nano with --enable-nanorc
## for this file to be read! Also note that characters specially
## interpreted by the shell should not be escaped here.
##
## To make sure a value is not enabled, use "unset <option>"
##
## For the options that take parameters, the default value is given.
## Other options are unset by default.
## Use auto-indentation.
# set autoindent
## Backup files to filename~.
# set backup
## The directory to put unique backup files in.
# set backupdir ""
## Do backwards searches by default.
# set backwards
## The characters treated as closing brackets. They cannot contain
## blank characters. Only closing punctuation, optionally followed by
## closing brackets, can end sentences.
##
# set brackets "'")}]>"
## Do case sensitive searches by default.
# set casesensitive
## Constantly display the cursor position in the statusbar. Note that
## this cancels out "quickblank".
# set const
## Use cut to end of line by default.
# set cut
## Set the line length for wrapping text and justifying paragraphs.
## If fill is 0 or less, the line length will be the screen width less
## this number.
##
# set fill -8
## Enable ~/.nano_history for saving and reading search/replace strings.
# set historylog
## Use the blank line below the titlebar as extra editing space.
# set morespace
## Enable mouse support, so that mouse clicks can be used to set the
## mark and run shortcuts.
# set mouse
## Allow multiple file buffers (inserting a file will put it into a
## separate buffer). You must have configured with --enable-multibuffer
## 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 helpful shortcut lists at the bottom of the screen.
# set nohelp
## Don't wrap text at all.
# set nowrap
## Set operating directory. nano will not read or write files outside
## this directory and its subdirectories. Also, the current directory
## is changed to here, so files are inserted from this dir. A blank
## string means the operating directory feature is turned off.
##
# set operatingdir ""
## Preserve the XON and XOFF keys (^Q and ^S).
# set preserve
## The characters treated as closing punctuation. They cannot contain
## blank characters. Only closing punctuation, optionally followed by
## closing brackets, can end sentences.
##
# set punct ".?!"
## Do quick statusbar blanking. Statusbar messages will disappear after
## 1 keystroke instead of 25. Note that "const" cancels this out.
##
# set quickblank
## The email-quote string, used to justify email-quoted paragraphs.
## This is an extended regular expression if your system supports them,
## otherwise a literal string. Default:
# set quotestr "^([ ]*[\|>:}#])+"
## if you have regexps, otherwise:
# set quotestr "> "
## You can get old nano quoted-justify behavior via:
# set quotestr "(> )+"
## Fix Backspace/Delete confusion problem.
# set rebinddelete
## Do extended regular expression searches by default.
# set regexp
## Make the Home key smarter. When Home is pressed anywhere but at the
## very beginning of non-whitespace characters on a line, the cursor
## will jump to that beginning (either forwards or backwards). If the
## cursor is already at that position, it will jump to the true
## beginning of the line.
# set smarthome
## Use smooth scrolling as the default.
# set smooth
## Use this spelling checker instead of the internal one. This option
## does not properly have a default value.
##
# set speller "aspell -x -c"
## Allow nano to be suspended.
# set suspend
## Use this tab size instead of the default; it must be greater than 0.
# set tabsize 8
## Convert typed tabs to spaces.
# set tabstospaces
## Save automatically on exit, don't prompt.
# set tempfile
## Disallow file modification; why would you want this in an rcfile? ;)
# set view
## The two single-column characters used to display the first characters
## of tabs and spaces. 187 decimal (00BB hexadecimal) and 183 decimal
## (00B7 hexadecimal) seem to be good values for these.
# set whitespace " "
## Color setup
##
## Format:
##
## syntax "short description" ["filename regex" ...]
##
## color foreground,background "regex" ["regex"...]
## or
## icolor foreground,background "regex" ["regex"...]
##
## "color" will do case sensitive matches, while "icolor" will do case
## insensitive matches.
##
## Legal colors: white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, magenta, cyan.
## You may use the prefix "bright" to mean a stronger color highlight
## for the foreground.
##
## 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|C|cc|cpp|cxx|h|H|hh|hpp|hxx)$"

## are read in.
