Hello Jerome,
For which languages or types of files would you like to see syntaxes added? Just adding as many syntaxes as possible does not seem like a good idea. You must give some rationale why a certain syntax would be good to include by default. > Also add by default option like -c (line number) and -s ispell . Why do you want to have linenumbers enabled by default for all users? Do you think the average user would appreciate that? If yes, then please explain why you think so. If the user wants spell checking and 'spell' is not installed, he or she should figure out what kind of spell checker to use -- nano can not figure this out for them. > also --softwrap but this one should be discuss. Enabling softwrap by default... is not a good idea, because nano gives no indication that softwrap is on (unlike emacs: with a trailing backslash), and the cursor moves as if the wrapped stuff is a separate line (unlike vim: it skips to the next true line).
