OK, will use my hack until you find time to implement the changed
behavior. :)

I planned to answer this with the new patch.
but as this is obsolete now, here are the setting I use in my nanorc.

hide help cut left
hide exit paste justify wherewas copy right

yes, but you can mess up the alignment with the bind and unbind keyword
too. for instance, in addition to the hide setting above, I also bind ^C
to 'copy' and I unbind F11 (because KDE-Konsole is using F11 itself by
default to toggle fullscreen). thus, w/o any shortcut assigned anymore
the 'show cursor position' disappears from the bottom window help.
I did not assign a different key for it, as I don't need the
position-shortcut at all, because I use nano with constantshow setting
anyway.

with this and my hide setting, the paired shortcuts remain aligned.
