nano completely freezes if you have made a CTRL+V bind to the "page all"
command in "/etc/nanorc" (bind ^v paste all)

If you don't make that binding or if you bind to another key-combination it
works fine

I've updated nano to 8.0.2 and the problem is solved!

Could you at least consider adding 8.0.2 to the  bookworm-backports repo ;-)

Of course best to fix it in the bookworm-updates if possible.

thanks

When you have 'bind ^V paste all' in your nanorc, then the _nano_ function
for pasting is bound to Ctrl+V, not the _Windows_ pasting function.  But,
as far as I know Windows, Windows will always intercept Ctrl+V, so you are
actually making nano's pasting function unreachable when ssh-ing in from
Windows, OR both Windows _and_ nano see the Ctrl+V, and this is going to
cause problems.

I hear you. I have thought about the problem could be related to other
places.

But it is not a problem in versions < 7.2 and not a problem in versions >
7.2

So I concluded it was related to nano 7.2
