    Date:
    Wed, 01 May 2024 17:54:21 +0000

    Description:
    Version 8.0 of the terminal text editor GNU nano has been
    released. This update includes several changes to keybindings to be
    more newcomer-friendly, such as remapping Ctrl-F to forward-search and
    adding an option for modern bindings: Command-line option --modernbindings (-/) makes ^Q quit, ^X cut,
    ^C copy, ^V paste, ^Z undo, ^Y redo, ^O open a file, ^W write a
    file, ^R replace, ^G find again, ^D find again backwards, ^A set
    the mark, ^T jump to a line, ^P show the position, and ^E execute. The release also provides access to 14 levels of gray scale in xterm (up
    from four), as well as many bug fixes.

    Modern bindings look interesting but I'm sure if I use it it will bring me some confusion on some shortcuts I already use too much like ctrl-x ...
