Nano Editor over Screen in Terminal isn’t fullscreen

gnu-screennanoterminal

When I connect to a device using Screen in terminal, if I open Nano text-editor it only takes up a fraction of the screen. How do I make it fullscreen?

Best Answer

Before you connect to the device, use:

stty -a

and note the rows and columns values that it prints. After connecting to the device, use:

stty rows <rows> cols <cols>

where <rows> and <cols> are replaced with the values printed before connecting. Since you're not using a network protocol like ssh that can send this information to the device automatically, you need to do it by hand.

From the tmux FAQ:

******************************************************************************
* PLEASE NOTE: most display problems are due to incorrect TERM! Before       *
* reporting problems make SURE that TERM settings are correct inside and     *
* outside tmux.                                                              *
*                                                                            *
* Inside tmux TERM must be "screen" or similar (such as "screen-256color").  *
* Don't bother reporting problems where it isn't!                            *
*                                                                            *
* Outside, it must match your terminal: particularly, use "rxvt" for rxvt    *
* and derivatives.                                                           *

Nano Editor: Delete to the end of the file

According to Nano Keyboard Commands, you can do this with AltT:

M-T    Cut from the cursor position to the end of the file

where the M is "alt" (referring to the ESC key). In the documentation, "cut" is another way of saying delete or remove, e.g.,

^K     Cut the current line and store it in the cutbuffer
