To reproduce, add the following to your nanorc:

  extendsyntax c linter gcc -fshow-column

Then run 'nano src/text.c' and type: ^T Y ^G.
Result: the main nano help text is shown, talking about things that are completely irrelevant when in linting mode.

Expected behavior: when in linting mode, ^G should show a short text about how the status bar shows the error message and the cursor is placed at the corresponding position in the file, and that the shown keystrokes can jump to later/earlier messages.

(Probably <Ctrl+Up> and <Ctrl+Down> should be added as bindings, as those come naturally to me for jumping.)

[By the way: nano a modeless editor?  It has help mode, browser mode, replace mode, linter mode... what not?  Also, help mode and browser mode can be recognized by a changed title bar.  Maybe the linter should change the title bar too, to make it clearer that we're not in editing mode?]
