For the editor part, the text would be grey on black instead of bright white on black. For the shortcut/header parts, the text would _blink_ red on a grey background. This is without any special syntax highlighting in the nanorc file. I'm not sure if the problem lies with nano or slang, but nano seems to work perfectly when using ncurses instead of slang, and in any case they don't seem to get along. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" USE="slang" emerge nano 2. nano 3. profit Actual Results: The editor works fine, but the colors are off, as described. Expected Results: The text should be white on black (center) and the shortcuts/header should be black on white.

I have the same problem!
alright, slang sucks greatly compared to ncurses, so i've just disabled support for it in the ebuild :)
As a compromise, how about not quite removing slang support, but defaulting to ncurses instead of slang? Ie when I have both set, use --without-slang.
note: i hate slang :)
ok it is now like this: [ `use ncurses` ] || myconf="${myconf} `use_with slang`" should satisfy everyone i think :)
Erm, IUSE does not mention ncurses.
ncurses is now in IUSE
