nano editor UnJustify

  • 772

I'm using nano editor to edit my server's config files. Now I've discovered that pasting in a few lines removes all line breaks of the pasted lines as well as the following lines! It then says I can UnJustify that again. What?! Is this Microsoft Word auto formatting?

How can I prevent this from happening ever again?

UnJustify doesn't work, it only restores part of the broken text, not all.

This is Ubuntu Server 16.04.

  1. Adding below to ~/.nanorc did the trick for me:

    unbind ^J main

    I think it breaks the justify, but I'm more than glad to give it for clean paste.
