During startup, nano sets up the default bindings _before_ reading the
rcfiles [1], so the only way to influence these default bindings is via
a command-line option.

If you want those "modern bindings" also when nano is not invoked via
the shell, then copy and uncomment the last block of doc/sample.nanorc
to your .nanorc files.
