   If nano still has something like that, I would love to know about it. But with   
   all that said, if you care to share your fold/sed quoting mastery, I would   
   love to take a look at it and possibly try to implement it here!

   I don't mind mouse support. Especially since I'm using putty to ssh into my   
   Linux VMs hosted on my server machine from a Windows 11 desktop. I can copy   
   from Windows and use right click in any of my Linux consoles, no matter what   
   program I'm running, to paste. It works great!

   I do, I do. I'll have to study up on that more when I get a chance. At the   
   moment I don't have trans installed as I've never had to use it before. That's   
   about to change, though. :)
