Discovering button-3-drag, is there a reason button-3-drag could not be made to load a file or directory with spaces in it? In other words, would this conflict with some other intended operation? Thanks. Blake On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 3:10 PM, Blake McBride bl...@mcbride.name wrote: When

Re: [9fans] Acme: spaces in file names

I think the reason is that filenames with spaces are not very common in Plan 9. If you're running plumber, you can probably adjust the regular exressions for file matching in your $HOME/lib/plumbing file. If you don't have that file yet: 9p read plumb/rules $HOME/lib/plumbing ~Fritz Am

To use the plumber, you have to start it first. Then you can configure all the Button-3 behavior you want. No need to change the hard coded backup behavior. Am 15.12.2013 17:19, schrieb Blake McBride: Blake-Mac-17:tmp blake$ 9p read plumb/rules 9p: mount: dial

Re: [9fans] Acme: spaces in file names

To run the plumber, type plumber then you can copy the rules file to $HOME/lib/plumbing and modify it as you wish. The next time you start the plumber (or when you write the modified file back via 9p), it will load that config file and hopefully behave as you planned. Okay, now what's the
