Hi Donnie,

This would probably best be send to nano-help@ (and please send replies there) but it sounds like you want something like the following:

bind ^F whereis all
Or another suitable key binding. the nanorc man page will probably help you out here.

Hello,
 
The Ctrl+W key binding is utterly egregious. Every time I (forget and) try to search for text, it closes my browser tab and I lose EVERYTHING. I would like to change the key bindings so that they are more standard - Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+X to cut, Ctrl+V to paste, Ctrl+F to find text, etc.
 
I'm not a C/C++ programmer, but this has happened one too many times  One of these days, the blood pressure spike is going to kill me. I'd like to try changing the key bindings (and the text at the bottom that lists the most common ones) and compile from the modified source. I'm hoping I can make sense enough of the code to pull this off. Can you please point me in the right direction? nano.c seemed like the logical place to start but when I (opened it in xed and) searched for "binding" then (when nothing was found) "justify", I didn't find anything that seemed to be what I'm looking for.
 
Thanks for your time and consideration.
 
~ Donnie
