So I poked at this a bit. nano has a -R which is documented thus:
-R, --restricted
Restricted mode: don't read or write to any file not specified on the command line. This means:
don't read or write history files; don't allow suspending; don't allow spell checking; don't allow a
file to be appended to, prepended to, or saved under a different name if it already has one; and
don't make backup files. Restricted mode can also be activated by invoking nano with any name begin‐
ning with 'r' (e.g. "rnano").
but the funny thing is, even if you use it, when you hit ctrl+O it
still asks you what filename to save under, it just doesn't let you
actually change the name at all. So that seems like it might help, but
doesn't really :/
