4.8a. When I paste text into a document, each line gets indented further than the last. Why does nano do this, and how can I avoid it?

You have the autoindent feature turned on. Hit Meta-I to turn it off, paste your text, and then hit Meta-I again to turn it back on.

4.8b. When I paste from Windows into a remote nano, nano rewraps the lines. What gives?

-

When pasting from Windows, in some situations linefeeds are sent instead of carriage returns (Enters). And linefeeds are ^Js, which make nano justify (rewrap) the current paragraph. To prevent these linefeeds from causing these unwanted justifications, add this line to your .nanorc on the remote Linux box: unbind ^J main.

4.9. I've compiled nano with color support, but I don't see any color when I run it!

If you want nano to actually use color, you have to specify the color configurations you want it to use in your .nanorc. Several example configurations are in the syntax/ subdirectory of the nano source, which are normally installed to /usr/local/share/nano/. To enable all of them, uncomment the line # include "/usr/local/share/nano/*.nanorc" in your nanorc. See also section 3.9a.

4.10. How do I make nano my default editor (in Pine, mutt, etc.)?
