Small, friendly text editor inspired by Pico

ScreenshotScreenshotScreenshotScreenshotScreenshot

GNU nano is an easy-to-use text editor originally designed as a replacement
for Pico, the ncurses-based editor from the non-free mailer package Pine
(itself now available under the Apache License as Alpine).

However, GNU nano also implements many features missing in Pico, including:
- undo/redo
- line numbering
- syntax coloring
- soft-wrapping of overlong lines
- selecting text by holding Shift
- interactive search and replace (with regular expression support)
- a go-to line (and column) command
- support for multiple file buffers
- auto-indentation
- tab completion of filenames and search terms
- toggling features while running
- and full internationalization support
