Thanks, although I've always used "nano -w" myself for the last few years when I came across the same problem in an old debian. If it's true that most distros these days come with nowrap as standard, then maybe this should be reported as a bug against the maemo nano package.

Nano is very handy for making quick changes to text files from the terminal...if I want something fancy like vi/emacs I'll just use Scite since I'm not a masochist

Actually, with the nano-opt package, this file should be saved in /home/user/.nanorc as I've just discovered - it doesn't read the one in /etc at all.

I'm not a masochist either.

Can anyone else confirm?
(make sure it's /etc/nanorc and not /etc/.nanorc)

Strange, mine just ignored the file completely. I don't know why, but anyway I guess it's better to put it in /home/user as it saves a precious 10 bytes of rootfs space

I've just noticed some inconsistent behavior using /etc/nanorc, going to update my first post to recommend ~/.nanorc

All times are GMT. The time now is 16:11.
echo "set nowrap" > ~/.nanorc
This will create a config file (used by both user and root, since they have the same home directory) for nano and tell it not to wrap (usually this is set by default on most distros).
Even experienced Linux users like myself may be used to Nano having nowrap set by default, and might only find that Maemo is different after they mess up a critical config file!
