Thu 16 Jan 2020 12:51:44 PM UTC, comment #3: Thanks for the feedback. Attached is an improved version, with an error message for a non-existent file. I've chosen to let it die when the specified rcfile does not exist, similar to when a specified operating dir or backup dir does not exist. |

Wed 15 Jan 2020 08:39:49 PM UTC, comment #2: I couldn't figure out how to apply the patch in the email you sent yesterday, but the one here applied cleanly so I took it for a spin. It works great, but on thing I noticed is that it won't warn you if you pass in a file that doesn't exist: it'll just silently start up without reading anything. Maybe it should show an error in the status bar, similar to the one you'd get if there are errors in the nanorc file? |

Wed 15 Jan 2020 06:03:37 PM UTC, comment #1: Attached patch allows using -f somenanorcfile or --rcfile=somenanorcfile to load a custom nanorc file and skip the loading of /etc/nanorc and ~/.nanorc. Please test and/or comment. |

It would be nice if it was possible to have nano load the nanorc file from a custom path specified via a command line option. Some additional side effects beyond the obvious ones would be making it possible to prevent the default loading of /etc/nanorc, or allow for dynamically swapping between multiple configurations. |
