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. :)
