Is there a way to disable the help mode in Nano by default? I know I can disable it by pressing the Meta + X key, but I'd like it to be disabled when I start Nano.

Thanks in advance!

Start with nano -x. This, and much more about nano, can be found in man nano. If you get tired of typing -x all the time, consider setting up an alias for nano -x like this:

alias nano="nano -x"

Another way to permanently disable the help line is to put a line:

set nohelp

in the file ~/.nanorc. If you don't have this file, create one. See man nanorc for more.
