First report :D
OK, this is getting messy. nano version 2.7.0, but I just found that
dwm stomps on the nano keyboard sequence Shift+Alt+$ to soft wrap long
lines - dwm pushes me to TAG 4.
From nano help (Ctrl g):
M-$ Soft wrapping of overlong lines enable/disable
I need to do more reading - or maybe hack nano to use a different key
sequence.
