Brand,
Thank you for the quick reply.
I haven't patched nano, however my terminal emulator shows the most recent command in the title bar such as "Terminal: nano ~/.nanorc"
You are right, I can't see if the file is modified in the titlebar. I'm only requesting it as an option to be enabled in the nanorc and certainly not a default. Perhaps a keybinding that could show/hide titlebar/buffers so you can quickly check the buffers?
Not to begin to compare, but many other editors have this kind of versatility and I just hoped my favourite editor could provide a function such as this.

My reasoning is that I generally know what file I'm editing as it says
it in the terminal window titlebar. I understand that some who use
tiling window managers wont have this, however an option to disable it
doesn't seem a whole lot to ask.
Did you patch nano to display filename in the terminal's titlebar? Does
your patch show "Modified" in the terminal's titlebar? If not, you
wouldn't know if the file was modified. You also can't see how many
buffers are opened. This option would be kind of useless to anyone who
doesn't have a terminal titlebar patch.
