Vim has always been sufficient for the task I described, having that one
particular feature.
If acme were able of the same, it would suffice me as well...

Well, [EMAIL PROTECTED] could definitely be a choice. But, doesn't it go
against the
basic philosophy ... ??!
the response here usually follows these steps:
(1) at most a mild suggestion to try using the system somewhat as intended
(2) ignoring it
this is in contrast to affirmative-action
I haven't said that to use Vim is bad. Vim is my most favourite editor. I am
myself happy to have Vim around in Plan9 (and am not alone for sure).
Nonetheless, it's bad to not have an alternative which would follow the
system's principles. Please read all I mentioned before. Vim does not follow
Thanks, I'll read it and see if it can be of help

Hola,
i think you can take other approaches to solve your problems instead of
using vim, or making acme behave like vim.
see what others have done with acme:
have you considered using sam to break each line into multiple lines
and then rejoining. e.g. if you have a | separated record structure, you
could do something like:
,x/^.*\n/ {
s/\|/\n/g
s/\n/\n\n/
}
edit the fields, then rejoin before writing it back:
,y/\n\n/ x/\n/ c/|/
,x/\n\n/ c/\n/
Is there any way how to sensibly edit a file with long lines (eg. a table
with many fields, like /sys/lib/lp/devices) using acme/sam? What I miss is a
way to not wrap long lines when I need to concentrate
on the different fields and a whole
single line is a true representative of an item (a
Thanks for the answer, although it did not please me... :(
(In Vim, you only have to do :set nowrap and you are done... From time to
time I find this rather useful.)

it's unreasonable for the lp configuration file to need lines 200 characters
long.
i would think it would make more sense
