If I'm editing a file that has long lines, using `nano -w`, the Home and
End keys don't work as expected.
^a and ^e work OK as Home and End respectively, but:
End inserts "F" at the line start and Home inserts "H" at the line
start.
I've remerged nano and baselayout (for /etc/initrc) to no avail. vim
works perfectly.

Forgot to mention, this only happens from KDE's konsole or from xterm.
aterm is OK as is a non-gui console.

We are working on it, there is a bug on this.
Besides that, this is not the right list for your problems, bugzilla
would be a good start here. This list is for development related
discussion.

I think this may be yet another problem caused by Gentoo's termcap stuff...
Not sure if anyone is investigating the problem, but apparently it occurs
when using SSH from a non-Gentoo system or from a GUI console. A workaround,
at least for Konsole, is to 'export TERM=linux' for now.

Actually, it's not related to Gentoo's weird termcap settings, it's a
nano thing. A Bug I think, however nano does have a command line switch
for it. use `nano -wK' to fix the keypad issues. Or do what I do and
alias "nano" and "pico" to "nano -wK". Should solve your problems.

It does. Many thanks. I could find no reference to this problem on
bugzilla, so raised a bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21356
