A hint, easy way to do this is to mark the text that is to be copied, ^0 to 
write out the marked text to a file (usually “xx”) and then ^R to load the 
written out “xx” file into  the destination nano maintaining tabs and spaces.

Not suggesting your patch is not required or a good idea but the unused key 
combinations are valuable for future  “big” improvements like macro define and 
expand, or columnar cut and paste, both of  which I've threatened  to write 
since nano day one.
