I do use those daily, plus undo support.

Ok.
After thinking about it, the only change I ever *really* wished nano would
make to the key bindings was that ^Y and ^U should operate like in a
shell (readline Yank and paste).
But ^Y is used for page up and some very tiny keyboards don't come with a
dedicated page up key (Grumble. grumble.)
