Yes, the standard cursor-movement keys are hard-bound.
That won't change.

sudo nano /root/.nanorc, ^R your own .nanorc and edit.

What?!  You want Ctrl+Left to stop both at the end and the
beginning of a word?

Won't happen.  The current behavior is what Pico does, so this
is what nano does.

WTF?  Why all this repetitious stuff?  If Ctrl+Left does something,
Ctrl+Right will necessarily do the mirror thing.  Anything else
would be madness.

No.  Won't be changed.  See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53534.

Send patch.

Already fixed in 2.9.6.

Those functions already exist, cutwordleft and cutwordright, you
just need to bind them.  Alt+Delete and Alt+Backspace are not
usable, they do not always produce distinct codes from a plain
Delete and Backspace.

> 28. The titlebar maybe should be replaced with file tabs.

You proposed that before.  You did not bother to respond to my
comments then.  So this is where I stop.
