Re: [Nano-devel] who uses ^R to create a new file?

[Trevor Brown]

I've used that side-effect before. It's quite useful.

At the moment, when using ^R in multibuffer mode and
trying to read in a file that does not exist, nano will
create an empty buffer with the specified name, as if
the user intended to create a new file.  Does anyone
purposefully use this feature/bug?

My guess is that when people use ^R, they want to read in
an existing file, and if they make a typo and the file
doesn't exist, nano should just mention this and not do
anything else.

So I propose to apply the attached patch.
