Wed 06 Feb 2019 06:45:41 PM UTC, comment #2: After a little experimenting, ◧> and <◨ look supremely ugly, whereas the simple [> and <] look nice. So I propose to use "[" for the left and "]" for the right half of a two-column character (when it is split). |

Wed 06 Feb 2019 06:36:52 PM UTC, comment #1: As said in commit 6142ef87 that introduced the angular brackets as continuation marks, I like them better: they are lighter. And implicit in the "work better": they indicate better what is meant: things continue on the right or left. So I propose instead to replace the "$" continuation characters in the edit window with ">" and "<".

In the edit window, nano shows continuations using '$', as Pico does; and shows split characters using '<' and '>', as vi does.
