Sign up ×  I enjoy using nano as a respite from my usual GTK-
based text editor. I like the simplicity of the interface, and
using CTRL-K is the fastest way I know of to edit down long
textfiles.  However, I have one major gripe: whenever I justify
text using CTRL-J, the editor prints the smug little message Can
now UnJustify! -- yet I have not been able to find a way to
unjustify text. Pressing M-U (which a Google search could
reveal, M-U not being mentioned at all in the program's help
files) simply seems to cause a glitch. The keyboard becomes
unresponsive. Am I missing something?  share|improve this
question  1 Answer 1  up vote 4 down vote accepted  If you press
Ctrl+U immediately after Ctrl+J, the justification is undone.
Nano in fact tells you (the ^U shortcut description at the
bottom changes from UnCut Text to UnJustify). No, I won't blame
you for not noticing that. You can't unjustify if you've typed
anything after Ctrl+J. Yes, that's pretty underwhelming (far
from a general undo).  share|improve thi
