Word wrap in nano does not work.

Hello, I am trying to word wrap in nano the way it does in notepad and gedit (new line once you reach the edge of the screen/window). However, when I try nano -w rick.sh it give me the help screen and I see that -w is not an option. When I use set nowrap in the ~/.nanorc it says nowrap isn't recongized, also, -r <y> fails to work as well. What should I do?

Re: Word wrap in nano does not work.

The reason might be the configure-parameter "--disable-wrapping" in nano's PKGBUILD. I would try this: get the PKGBUILD, remove the parameter, run makepkg. If makepkg finishes successfully, remove the nano-packages installed from repository and replace with the new created package.
