Release of the GNU nano 5.8 text editor

The console text editor GNU nano 5.8 has been released, offered as the default editor in many user distributions whose developers find vim too difficult to master.

In the new release

  • After searching, the highlighting turns off after 1,5 seconds (0,8 seconds if you specify -quick) to avoid the appearance that text is selected.
  • A "+" sign and a space before a file name on the command line places the cursor at the end of the corresponding buffer.
  • Linter messages no longer contain file and row/column numbers.
  • The color name "grey" or "gray" can be used instead of "lightblack".
  • The color of the mini-panel can be selected using the β€œset minicolor” command.
