One example is the bottom commented out part of upstream sample configfile about more "usual" keybindings. > (But in my opinion, the machine admin should not configure anything in > a personal tool like an editor.) The use case I have in mind is debian-design, a Debian Pure Blend (i.e. an "install profile") targeted non-technical users who will dislike the default keybindings and will dislike needing to edit a configfile to change keybindings. > However, even with such a config snippet mechanism, the problem that > --rcfile can be used to avoid (the main nanorc file including syntaxes > that I don't want) cannot be solved. > > Anyway, if you think that an included file should be allowed to > contain any setting and option, not just syntax definitions, the place > to post such a request is Savannah: > > https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=nano Thanks, I will consider filing a bugreport upstream - but frankly I am beginning to find it tiresome to try convince you about functionality that seems alien to you but obvious to me. Not meant as a complaint, I do appreciate your patience, just being honest about my own limited patience.
