nano: Screen Layout
3.1 Screen Layout
=================
The default screen of ‘nano’ consists of four areas. From top to bottom
these are: the title bar, the edit window, the status bar, and two help
lines.
The title bar consists of three sections: left, center and right.
The section on the left displays the version of ‘nano’ being used. The
center section displays the current filename, or "New Buffer" if the
file has not yet been named. The section on the right displays
"Modified" if the file has been modified since it was last saved or
opened.
The status bar is the third line from the bottom of the screen. It
shows important and informational messages. Any error messages that
occur from using the editor will appear on the status bar. Any
questions that are asked of the user will be asked on the status bar,
and any user input (search strings, filenames, etc.) will be input on
the status bar.
The two help lines at the bottom of the screen show some of the most
essential functions of the editor.
