feature request: overwrite mode

I did not see this option in nano's documentation. If it already exists please point me to the correct location in nano's docs.

The ability to switch between insert mode (text is added next to cursor) and overwrite mode (text is replaced under the cursor) would be quite useful to many people.

Is this a feature that you may consider adding?

How to indent multiple lines?

I've searched the web, the manpage, the documentation - but found nothing
for this simple task:

How to indent multiple lines at once in nano? Marking the text and pressing
Tab doesn't work (as in other editors).

Thanks in advance!

Re: How to indent multiple lines?

Currently this can be done by: selecting the lines to indent, and
pressing Meta-}

nano 2.2.0, trivial bugs & thoughts

Hi,
first thanks for nano and happy birthday :)
I just switched to 2.2.0 but noticed the followings :

/usr/share/nano/makefile.nanorc (line 6) :
bad regexp « \$+[{(][a-Z0-9_-]+[})] » : invalid range end

Typo in section "KEY BINDINGS" in the html page :
M- followed by a prinable character
M- followed by a printable character

I also think bind doc should be part of man 5 nanorc.
I only discovered today the 'bind' ability !

The last two missing things to me are DO_DELETE_WORD and DO_BACKSPACE_WORD.

Keep up the good work

Raph

It is there for me...
       bind key function menu
              Rebinds the key key to a new function named function in the con-
              text of menu menu.  The format of  key should be one of:
