Why does nano show ^ and ^_ in the shortcut list instead of ^G and ^J?

The help (^G) and justify (^J) functions were among the last to be written. To show the improvements that nano had over Pico (goto line # and replace), ^_ and ^\ were put on the shortcut list. If you use the -p option to nano you will get the same shortcuts at the bottom as Pico.
