            nam (nanoArgMode)         

A fully-featured macro system for the nano editor, powered by Luajit.



            Basic Usage         

nano -s ./nam ​​YOURFILE

Supply the location of namto the- sflag, and open your file / s like normal. (Or an empty buffer.)

Then, write the macro call you want directly into the buffer, on it's own line:

!: spell

And then call the spellchecker with^ Tor whatever non-default binding you've added.




            Limitations         

The macro system can only effect the open buffer, it can't modify nano's default behaviors. It cannot move the active cursor.

This turns it into a text-manipulation system, rather than a self-modifying system like you might find in vim and emacs.

It is still reasonably powerful.
