I just tested this and it works. You have to be in insert mode, so hit "i"
first.

Thanks for that tidbit. That can definitely come in handy! I think I've just
used nano by cutting an entire line with the CTRL-A codes on them (using
CTRL-K), pasting it again (and again, if needbe, using CTRL-U) so I have a
bunch I can change the color codes on. This would definitely make things
easier, though. ;)

Regards,
Nick
