Update to nano 5.4? #18

Closed Gavin-Holt closed 3 years ago

Gavin-Holt commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Would you consider a new binary release update to nano 5.4 "Terre des hommes" (2020 December 2 ) the benefits over 5.2 include:

"set stateflags: makes nano show the state of auto-indenting, the mark, hard-wrapping, macro recording, and soft-wrapping in the title bar. The flags take the place of "Modified", and a modified buffer is instead indicated by an asterisk (*) after its name."

"set scrollercolor: the color of the indicator can be changed."

"Moving the cursor now skips over combining characters (and other zero-width characters). Deleting a character deletes also any succeeding zero-width characters, but backspacing deletes just one character at a time"

Kind Regards Gavin Holt

PS I have been playing with nano 5.3 as distributed in Git for Windows 64[1] and this has worked around the sys.fork() problem. Executing and piping works and is useful. However, 272MB is a big price to pay :)
