When scrolling (by holding down the down key) in nano, the cursor does not move while the key is pressed, but once I let go of the key it jumps to where it should be.

How can I get it to move as I hold down the key?

The output of nano -V is:

GNU nano version 2.2.5 (compiled 21:04:20, Nov  3 2010)

I am using the nano binary that came with Cygwin and I am running bash as my shell in Console on Windows 7 Professional 64bit.

Extra information:

  • I have tried using emacs and vi in the same shell and they both work fine.
  • This happens when I use the arrow keys or the delete key. The backspace key works properly.
  • I have tried downgrading to nano version 2.0.9 with the Cygwin installer, but the issue kept occurring.

Cursor in nano jumps instead of scrolling

When scrolling (by holding down the down key) in nano, the cursor does not move while the key is pressed, but once I let go of the key it jumps to where it should be.
