GNU nano can also use pointing devices, such as a mouse, to activate functions that are on the shortcut bar, as well as position the cursor. On keyboards without the meta key it is often mapped to the escape key, Esc, such that in order to simulate, say, Meta+ S one has to press the Esc key, then release it, and then press the S key. Almost all features that can be selected from the command line can be dynamically toggled. For example, Meta+ S toggles smooth scrolling mode on and off. Unlike Pico, nano uses meta keys to toggle its behavior. For a complete list, Ctrl+ G gets the help screen. GNU nano puts a two-line "shortcut bar" at the bottom of the screen, listing many of the commands available in the current context. For example, Ctrl+ O saves the current file Ctrl+ W goes to the search menu. GNU nano, like Pico, is keyboard-oriented, controlled with control keys. On 19 August 2016, Chris Allegretta announced the return of the project to the GNU family, following concessions from GNU on copyright assignment for Nano specifically, which happened when version 2.7.0 was released in September 2016.

The step was acknowledged by Debian and Arch Linux, while the GNU Project resisted the move and called it a " fork".

On version 2.6.0 in June 2016, the current principal developer and the other active members of the nano project decided in consensus to leave the GNU Project, because of their objections over the Free Software Foundation's copyright assignment policy, and their belief that decentralized copyright ownership does not impede the ability to enforce the GNU General Public License. The project is currently maintained by Benno Schulenberg.

The license was also upgraded to GPL-3.0-or-later. On 20 December 2007, with the release of 2.0.7, Ramsey stepped down as nano's maintainer.

On 11 August 2003, Chris Allegretta officially handed the source code maintenance of nano to David Lawrence Ramsey. GNU nano implements several features that Pico lacks, including syntax highlighting, line numbers, regular expression search and replace, line-by-line scrolling, multiple buffers, indenting groups of lines, rebindable key support, and the undoing and redoing of edit changes. In February 2001, nano became a part of the GNU Project. The name comes from the system of SI prefixes, in which nano is 1000 times larger than pico. The name was changed to nano on January 10th, 2000 to avoid a naming conflict with the existing Unix utility tip. His motivation was to create a free software replacement for Pico, which was not distributed under a free software license. GNU nano was first created in 1999 with the name TIP (a recursive acronym for TIP Isn't Pico), by Chris Allegretta.
