 +=== Old Suspend Key === 
 +As of nano 6.4 suspend behavior was changed. Instead of ''ctl-z'' (also typed //^z//, in the nano menu itself) being suspend as it was before, typing ''^z''  warns you that you need to to ''^t^z'' if you '''really''' mean to suspend. 
 + 
 +You can reset to the old way by putting this in your //.nanorc// That makes ''^z'' suspend again. 
 + 
 +  ## Allow nano to be suspended with ''^z'' the old way, not ''^t^z' 
 +  bind ^Z suspend main
