<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">nanorc −
GNU nano’s rcfile</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">This manual
page briefly documents GNU <b>nano</b>’s rcfile.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>nano</b> is
a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace
Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine
package. Rather than just copying Pico’s look and
feel, <b>nano</b> also implements some missing (or disabled
by default) features in Pico, such as "search and
replace" and "go to line and column
number".</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
<i>nanorc</i> file contains the default settings for
<b>nano</b>. It should not be in DOS or Mac format. During
startup, <b>nano</b> will first read its system-wide
settings from <i>SYSCONFDIR/nanorc</i>, and then
user-specific settings from <i>~/.nanorc</i>.</p>
<h2>OPTIONS
<a name="OPTIONS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
configuration file accepts a series of <b>set</b> and
<b>unset</b> commands, which can be used to configure nano
on startup without using the command line options.
Additionally, the <b>syntax</b>, <b>color</b>, and
<b>icolor</b> keywords are used to define syntax
highlighting rules for different text patterns. <b>nano</b>
will read one command per line.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Options in
<i>nanorc</i> files take precedence over nano’s
defaults, and command line options override <i>nanorc</i>
settings. Also, options are unset by default, except for
those that take arguments.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Quotes inside
string parameters don’t have to be escaped with
backslashes. The last double quote in the string will be
treated as its end. For example, for the <b>brackets</b>
option, "<i>"’)>]}</i>" will match
<i>"</i>, <i>’</i>, <i>)</i>, <i>></i>,
<i>]</i>, and <i>}</i>.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The supported
commands and arguments are: <b><br>
set/unset allow_insecure_backup</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:15%;">When backing up files, allow
the backup to succeed even if its permissions can’t be
(re)set due to special OS considerations. You should NOT
enable this option unless you are sure you need it.</p>

’\t’ stands for a literal Tab character.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset
rebinddelete</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:15%;">Interpret the Delete key
differently so that both Backspace and Delete work properly.
You should only need to use this option if Backspace acts
like Delete on your system.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset
rebindkeypad</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:15%;">Interpret the numeric keypad

<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>set/unset smooth</b></p>

<b>["</b><i>fileregex</i><b>" ... ]</b></p>

<i>str</i> which can be activated via the
−Y/−−syntax command line option, or will
be automatically activated if the current filename matches
the extended regular expression <i>fileregex</i>. All
following <b>color</b> and <b>icolor</b> statements will
apply to <i>syntax</i> until a new syntax is defined.</p>
<p style="margin-left:15%; margin-top: 1em">The <i>none</i>
syntax is reserved; specifying it on the command line is the
same as not having a syntax at all. The <i>default</i>
syntax is special: it takes no <i>fileregex</i>, and applies
to files that don’t match any other syntax’s
<i>fileregex</i>.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>magic
["</b><i>regex</i><b>" ... ]</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:15%;">For the currently defined

otherwise.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>color</b>
<i>fgcolor</i><b>,</b><i>bgcolor regex</i> <b>...</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:15%;">For the currently defined
syntax, display all expressions matching the extended
regular expression <i>regex</i> with foreground color
<i>fgcolor</i> and background color <i>bgcolor</i>, at least
one of which must be specified. Legal colors for foreground
and background color are: white, black, red, blue, green,
yellow, magenta, and cyan. You may use the prefix
"bright" to force a stronger color highlight for
the foreground. If your terminal supports transparency, not
specifying a <i>bgcolor</i> tells <b>nano</b> to attempt to
use a transparent background.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>icolor</b>
<i>fgcolor</i><b>,</b><i>bgcolor regex</i> <b>...</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:15%;">Same as above, except that the
expression matching is case insensitive.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>color</b>
<i>fgcolor</i><b>,</b><i>bgcolor</i>
<b>start="</b><i>sr</i><b>"
end="</b><i>er</i><b>"</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:15%;">Display expressions which start
with the extended regular expression <i>sr</i> and end with
the extended regular expression <i>er</i> with foreground
color <i>fgcolor</i> and background color <i>bgcolor</i>, at
least one of which must be specified. This allows syntax
highlighting to span multiple lines. Note that all
subsequent instances of <i>sr</i> after an initial <i>sr</i>
is found will be highlighted until the first instance of
<i>er</i>.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>icolor</b>
<i>fgcolor</i><b>,</b><i>bgcolor</i>
<b>start="</b><i>sr</i><b>"
end="</b><i>er</i><b>"</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:15%;">Same as above, except that the
expression matching is case insensitive.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>include</b>
<i>syntaxfile</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:15%;">Read in self-contained color
syntaxes from <i>syntaxfile</i>. Note that <i>syntaxfile</i>
can only contain <b>syntax</b>, <b>color</b>, and
<b>icolor</b> commands.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Key bindings
