acme9k

This is a fork of the acme text editor from the plan9port distribution. It combines the customizability of lumar/sminez's forks and acme2k with upstream fixes from 9fans and some custom work.

See the config.def.h for out of the box customizations that can be done.

usage

Keybindings are as follows:

• Ctrl
  • c: copy
  • x: cut
  • v: paste
  • z: undo
  • y: redo
  • s: save
  • e: move to end of line
  • a: move to begining of line
  • f: filename completion
  • u: kill line
  • w: kill word (backwords)
• Up/Down: move cursor
• PgUp/PgDown: the obvious
• Esc: cut if there is a selection, otherwise hilight the most recently edited text

Users unfamiliar with acme in general should check the following resources:

• Acme: A User Interface for Programmers - the definitive guide from Rob Pike
• A Tour of Acme - Russ Cox giving a tour of acme on plan9port (video)
• acme(1) - manual page

build

• Clone this repository
• From the repo root, if desired, copy config.def.h to config.h and make your modifications
• Run ./build.sh from the repo root.

install

After building, run ./install.sh; If run as a regular user, it will install to ~/bin/9; if run as root, it will overwrite the systemwide acme in $PLAN9/bin

TODO

• add an indicator of the active window when click to focus (bartflag) is enabled
