GNU Nano 2.4.0 was released this morning as the first stable update to this open-source CLI text editor in a number of years...

How do you enable the linter support?

There should be commented-out include directives in /etc/nanorc, looks like this

## Nanorc files
#include "/usr/share/nano/nanorc.nanorc"

## C/C++
#include "/usr/share/nano/c.nanorc"

Just uncomment the stuff you want syntax highlighting for.


/usr/share/nano contains all the syntax highlighting files.

I'd copy it to ~/.nanorc first -- no need to go messing with root-level settings for a personal preference, just override it for yourself. No risk of fscking something up systemwide, and no need to bother typing sudo or su and your password...assuming one cared about the extra typing.

How do you automatically enable syntax highlighting, by the way?

Is there a list of supported languages for syntax highlighting?
