Description Jalus Bilieyich 2017-11-25 18:22:29 UTC
For Gentoo Base system, app-editors/nano should have 'set nowrap' uncommented in /etc/nanorc. That way, adding the -w option to nano for editing config files is unnecessary.

As of nano-4.0 the wrapping got a complete overhaul and should no longer be enabled by default...
Current stable nano-3.2 also doesn't wrap long lines by default anymore.
