Option statuscolor doesn't work

Open pwsandoval opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hello, excellent project.

I recently installed nano for windows using scoop, copied my nanorc settings file, and while all colors and options applied correctly, I see one that doesn't apply and displays differently to nano GNU versions, is this my mistake? Or have an explanation.

Debian 5.4 (WSL)

Gitbash (nano 7.2)

Windows (nano scoop v7.2-22.1 2023.04.15)

The property that is not applying is

set statuscolor yellow

I haven't tried all of them, so I don't know if something else that isn't in my config file doesn't work either.

Several nanorc flags seem to not work in this release.

One of them is minibar, more options can be seen here on the official page.

Side note, you can use the nano that comes bundled with Git for Windows. I've decoupled it from the base install so you can download it from here.

sha256sum output:

I've kept my own nanorc in there but you can easily replace with yours in the etc folder.


Update: I've made changes to the bundle by updating the syntax highlighting in /usr/share/nano which fixes lots of highlighting issues in many files.
