Re: Commenting several lines

Hi Benno,

Aaahhh... Yes... Thank you.

I was probably influenced by Tab, which works both on lines and on 
selected blocks. I'm not sure this behaviour should be extended to 
commenting (ie making # or % act like M-3 if a block is selected), but 
perhaps it's worth a thought.

Right. As you pointed out, my keystroke was wrong so I should have looked 
in the section regarding nano's behaviour, not the one about nanorc.

I search "M-3" in this online man page and found only one appearance:
10 Building and its Options
[...]
--disable-comment
Exclude the single-keystroke comment/uncomment function (M-3).

So really the right place to look for the shortcut is the cheat sheet at
