Of course you can just type "Edit ,d" and middle click it. But
sometimes you're just typing along and don't feel like grabbing the
mouse... or at least I do. I'm sure it's not particularly useful for
most of you guys who like everything the way it's always been, but I
learned something doing this so it was at least useful to me.
In my defense I did it without adding extra code, and even used the
features of win and the private namespaces to accomplish it this time.

This basically does exactly what you do when you type "Edit ,d" and
middle click it.
I'm sure there's a much easier, cleaner way to do this, but I thought
it was an interesting exploration of the acme filesystem and the event
protocol.
Interestingly the format that is read out from /dev/acme/event is
actually not valid input for the same file. If you provide anything
but the first two offsets to a command, flags and such as write input
to /dev/acme/event, it's an error. I don't think the man page
explains this well, but I'm tired and may have missed that too.
