If you don't want this, be sure ## to set the background color to black or white. ## ## If you wish, you may put your syntaxes in separate files. You can ## make use of such files (which can only include "syntax", "color", and ## "icolor" commands) as follows: ## ## include "/path/to/syntax_file.nanorc" ## ## Unless otherwise noted, the name of the syntax file (without the ## ".nanorc" extension) should be the same as the "short description" ## name inside that file. These names are kept fairly short to make ## them easier to remember and faster to type using nano's -Y option. ## ## All regexes should be extended regular expressions. ## Key bindings ## Please see nanorc(5) for more details on this ## ## Here are some samples to get you going ## # bind M-W nowrap main # bind M-A casesens search # bind ^S research main ## Set this if your backspace key sends delete most of the time (2.1.3+) # bind kdel backspace all ## Nanorc files include "/usr/share/nano/nanorc.nanorc" ## C/C++ include "/usr/share/nano/c.nanorc" ## Makefiles include "/usr/share/nano/makefile.nanorc" ## Cascading Style Sheets include "/usr/share/nano/css.nanorc" ## Debian files include "/usr/share/nano/debian.nanorc" ## Gentoo files include "/usr/share/nano/gentoo.nanorc" ## HTML include "/usr/share/nano/html.nanorc" ## PHP include "/usr/share/nano/php.nanorc" ## TCL include "/usr/share/nano/tcl.nanorc" ## TeX include "/usr/share/nano/tex.nanorc" ## Quoted emails (under e.g. mutt) include "/usr/share/nano/mutt.nanorc" ## Patch files include "/usr/share/nano/patch.nanorc" ## Manpages include "/usr/share/nano/man.nanorc" ## Groff include "/usr/share/nano/groff.nanorc" ## Perl include "/usr/share/nano/perl.nanorc" ## Python include "/usr/share/nano/python.nanorc" ## Ruby include "/usr/share/nano/ruby.nanorc" ## Java include "/usr/share/nano/java.nanorc" ## Fortran include "/usr/share/nano/fortran.nanorc" ## Objective-C include "/usr/share/nano/objc.nanorc" ## OCaml include "/usr/share/nano/ocaml.nanorc" ## AWK include "/usr/share/nano/awk.nanorc" ## Assembler include "/usr/share/nano/asm.nanorc" ## Bourne shell scripts include "/usr/share/nano/sh.nanorc" ## POV-Ray include "/usr/share/nano/pov.nanorc" ## XML-type files include "/usr/share/nano/xml.nanorc"
