Thu 14 May 2020 01:21:18 PM UTC, comment #4: The change could be added behind an option (maybe -O, --oldstyle, or --bookstyle), but at the moment we have only two letters left (-O and -q), and one will be needed for the scroll bar...

Tue 24 Dec 2019 09:56:52 AM UTC, comment #3: Well, things are not as clear-cut as they seemed. Pico's behavior apparently changes from version to version too. My Manjaro system has Pico 5.04, and it will see any indented line as the start of a new paragraph (whether indented with spaces or tabs), and when a line wraps, the wrapped part always has zero indentation. My Xubuntu system has Pico 5.09, and that one can justify a piece of text of which each line is indented with the same amount of spaces (and it will retain that amount of spaces).

Fri 13 Dec 2019 11:07:26 AM UTC, comment #1: When a paragraph of text is indented with tabs instead of spaces, then Pico will see each line as a separate paragraph when typing ^J, but nano will see it as a single paragraph.
