Re: [Nano-devel] [PATCH] options: add -f/--functionkeys to show and enable the function keys

[markweston]

Please do not introduce the -f option.
I use function keys very often (except F1).
The -f option would only be an inconvenience for me.
It would force me to make an alias for nano.

bind F1 help all
bind F2 autoindent all
bind F3 tabstospaces all
bind F4 whitespacedisplay all
bind F5 linenumbers all
bind F6 casesens all
bind F7 regexp all
bind F8 flipexecute all
bind F9 flippipe all
bind F10 flipnewbuffer all

F2 paste from clipboard
F3 Makefile
F4 Makefile
F5 copy to clipboard | writing plain text
F6 rarely, but several times I did make use of it
F7 search/replace, quite often
F8, F9, F10: usually in macros

These bindings are much more memorable than whatever nano has.
1. F1 is the standard binding for help.
2. F2-F10 do the same thing - toggle stuff.
   It makes sense for them to be grouped under same key group.

Also, there is an annoying thing that when executing a macro,
the toggles that have been made before are not reverted to
default ones. For example, you make a macro that does F8, F9, F10,
however, the next time you invoke it it's broken because F10 has
already been toggled.
