Thanks. I'm too paranoid about exposing my private keys to hackers to start messing around with stuff I don't fully understand.
Has anyone been able to use Electrum's "replace by fee" feature with a Ledger Nano?

Actually never mind about the command line. Apparently it's not available for windows.
Just enter this in the python console: signtransaction('unsignedrawtransaction')
You'll have to import the keys to another wallet however. Supposedly you can use external keys by using signtransaction('unsignedrawtransaction', 'privkey=xxx') but for the life of me I can't get that to work.

I discovered another place to try entering the commands shown on the Electrum support page: the "Console" window of the Electrum program. So I saved the unsigned tx file in the same folder in which the Electrum program was installed and I copied-and-pasted the "cat unsigned.txn | electrum signtransaction - > signed.txn" command into the console window. It responded "SyntaxError: invalid syntax."
Was that the right place to enter the command?

Try signing the transaction using the command line or another wallet. For the command line check how at http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage_cmdline.html
Those instructions are a bit over my head.
Are you sure it is possible to sign the transaction using the command line when the private keys are stored in a Ledger Nano?
Edit: When I tried entering "cat unsigned.txn | electrum signtransaction - > signed.txn" in the Windows Command Prompt window, it did not recognize "cat" as a command. Is there some other place where the command should be entered?
I sent my last transaction with a low fee and the "replace by fee" option enabled, just to give it a try. Now when I right click the unconfirmed tx in the History tab and select "Increase fee", it gives me the option to set a higher fee. But when I try to sign the new transaction, I get an error message that looks like this: http://imgur.com/a/O1vyD
Should this feature work when using Electrum with a hardware wallet? I did not click the "Final" checkbox after setting the higher fee; is that required? I'd welcome any help!
EDIT: Might the error have anything to do with the original transaction only having one output?

Checking the "Final" checkbox will make the transaction non-replaceable. Having only one output shouldn't be a problem.
