How to make "nano" code editor to be named as "rossa" (plus with HySS syntax highlighting)
I am a big fan of nano code editor , and I want to make nano from source code and rename it to rossa with just sed command line. Also, I want to enable syntax highlighting support for HySS script files. The way to do that is fairly easy, with a few tricks using sed command line and using your current nano code editor or vi . You need to get started this way from nano source code at https://www.nano-editor.org/ This assumes you already have a built-in nano / vi editor or any editor that is included with other packages such as build-essential . The required packages you need to install to build and install nano from the source code are : build-essential , libncursesw5-dev , groff The steps are as follows : $ wget https://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v5/nano-5.0.tar.gz $ tar xzvf nano-5.0.tar.gz $ cd nano-5.0 $ sed -i 's/rnano/rossa/g' src/Makefile.in $ sed -i '/html.nanorc/ a hyss.nanorc \\' syntax/Makefile.in Create a file syntax/hyss.nanorc using your current nano
