it's usually more with long lines and softwrap that it's really useful.
I've used editors before that only showed the current position, and
that's OK, it's just if I could choose, I'd like to see it.

Yes, End is a way to get the line length, as long as it's not wrapped (I
always have softwrap on).

I thought just in .nanorc, a line like:
set status "  %n %1%2%s%l,%c   %f   %u"

Where %n = current filename, %1 and %2 are indicators, %s is middle
space (everything to the right of it gets right-aligned), %l is current
line, %c is current column, %f are the flags, and %u is the unicode value.
