Sorry, no. Debian was frozen before nano-4.0 was released, so the new Debian
stable will ship with 3.2.

You probably don't use the M-S toggle (to toggle smooth scrolling) so you
could do 'bind M-S softwrap main' and use Esc-S to toggle softwrapping,
which should be a bit easier to type.
(I am thinking about adding that binding to the default setup, because I
have machine where the Shift+Alt combos do nothing.)

Hmmm... A nice special case for a bulleted list. But not for nano.

It would be much harder to make than an automatic "#". See attached patch
for a quick and dirty implementation of the latter. But... you can file
a feature request on Savannah if you want it and think the feature would
be useful to others too.
