GNU Nano Text Editor Can Now Record & Replay Keystrokes
![GNU](/assets/categories/gnu.webp)
First up, GNU Nano 2.9 has the ability to record and replay keystrokes within the text editor. M-: is used to start/stop the keystroke recording session while M-; is used to playback the macro / recorded keystrokes.
Also new with Nano 2.9 is ^Q will initiate a backward search on the file while ^S will save the current file. With the ^Q addition, ^W has been changed to always perform a forward search.
There are also a few other user-facing changes with the GNU Nano 2.9 text editor as outlined at nano-editor.org.
