I'm guessing you are referring to --bookstyle. But which other new
feature(s) are you happy with?

What does M-V M-Ins put in an empty buffer? (You would probably
need to type: Esc V M-Ins.) What terminal are you using? With
what kind of settings?

Esc Ins will do the same as Ins by itself, no surprise there.

Yes, that is the disadvantage of experienced users: when something
is added or changed in the help lines, they will not see it. :|
(To alleviate this a bit, M-X was made to work in every menu.)

I don't want to do that, as the ^T menu is twinned with ^R (you can
switch between the two with ^X) -- it would complicate matters.
I would suggest you remove "set nohelp" from your nanorc for a while.
(Hmmm... Maybe nano should simply ignore nohelp for the first week
after a release? ... No, just kidding.)
Or you could add at the end of your nanorc:
bind M-[ execute main
bind ^T "^[[^[x"
(where each ^[ is a literal escape character).
This will switch the help lines on the first time you type ^T.
(It will leave them on when you exit from there, but that will
give you a chance to practice typing M-X.)
