In the nano editor
Ctrl+_
On openning a file
nano +10 file.txt
According to section 2.2 of the manual, you can use the Escape key pressed twice in place of the CTRL key. This allowed me to use Nano's key combination for GO TO LINE when running Nano on a Jupyter/ JupyterHub and accessing through my browser. The normal key combination was getting 'swallowed' as the manual warns about can more often happen with the ALT key on some systems, and which can be replaced by one press of the ESCAPE key.
So for jump to line it was ESCAPE pressed twice, followed by shift key + dash key.
The shortcut is: CTRL+_

I am using Linux raspi 4.19.118+ #1311 via ssh Powershell on Win 10 Pro 1909 with German keyboard. nano shortcut Goto Line with "Crtl + Shift + -" was not working Solution: Step 1 - Do Current Position with "Crtl + C" Step 2 - Goto Line with "Crtl + Shift + -" IS working!
I dont know what effects it. But now its working without step 1!
The shortcut is: CTRL+shift+- ("shift+-" results in "_") After typing the shortcut, nano will let you to enter the line you wanna jump to, type in the line number, then press ENTR.
