Have you had a look at the end of the sample nanorc file?

  tail -34 doc/sample.nanorc

(But as Victor says, it would be helpful to know which version of nano
you are using.  And do you compile nano yourself or do you use the nano
provided by your distro?)

There's no need to modify the source to change the key bindings.
Almost all bindings can be changed via your ~/.nanorc file.

Run 'man nanorc', and search for REBIND.
