Package: nano
Version: 2.4.2-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

thanks for your great work with nano, the best editor IMHO.

The shortcut ESC+<space> is intended to jump to the previous word,
like the CTRL+<space> which does the same for the next word.

CTRL+<space> can be hit several times in a row without the need
to release the CTRL key.
However, ESC+<space> needs the ESC key to be released before using the shortcut
again. If no release happens, the next time you hit <space>, a space is printed.

This is really annoying.

Could you please tell upstream that this 'feature' is actually a bug for many 
users?

Thanks, best regards.
