Nano - a pico clone (text editor)

[mccake]

I really want to try the nano arm deb package on my 770. However, I am not able to find a valid copy of the installing package. Anyone tried it before? Pico is my favorite text editor... as it borrows the interface from Pine.

I downloaded the nano arm deb package from here (ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/maemo/) and it works just fine.

Actually, pico itself compiles and works just fine on the 770 (screenshot (http://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/blogger/pico.png)), without any changes to the source code.

The only problem I've found so far is that anything which makes the onscreen keyboard appear or disappear -- such as using xterm's menu option to send a control key -- messes with the status line prompts and help text. So if you've made modifications to the buffer and hit Ctrl-X, it appears as though it's frozen; it's waiting for you to hit Y or N, but the prompt isn't visible.

Fortunately, there's another way to send control keys -- press the Escape hardware key twice, followed by the key you want to send; that'll do it without messing up the display.

If anyone wants it, I'll build a .deb with pico in it.

How'd you guys get it to work (nano) I just installed it and no dice for me.

I would definitely like a build of pico for the 770. I find that I really miss it when I ssh in from my desktop.
