Hi all,
I have just updated to nano 4.8 from v2.9.8. Consequently, some settings in my nanorc no longer worked, such as `uncut`, `copytext` and `searchagain`. These were easy to fix.
However, there is one that is baffling me.
I am binding ^H to `replace all`. This has the unexpected result that pressing Backspace(1) enters the replace menu. I know that on some terminals Backspace generates ^H, but if I use the shortcut for `Verbatim Input` and press Backspace, I get `^?`. Starting `nano -K` has the same problem so it probably isn't because of ncurses.
Note that using Delete(2) works as expected; this generates the verbatim `^[[3~`.
I have seen that v3.1 had a fix about this problem, maybe my terminal escaped that? I am using iTerm2 v3.3.9 on MacOS 10.15.2, with zsh v5.8. This problem also exists in the Terminal app of MacOS.
Is this a bug or I misunderstood something?
Many thanks,
Ciprian

(1) Since I switched to MacOS, Backspace and Delete have gotten a bit blurry in my mind. By Backspace I mean "kill to the left", a simple press on the poorly-named "delete" button.
(2) as above. By Delete I mean "kill to the right", pressing `Fn+delete`.
