Re: [9fans] [acme] Edit command -- More than one argument?
Yes, the scroll wheel forward expands to the full size, and backwards reduces it to one line; this is as designed, and only on the wheel for lack of a better UI idea. I can't say that it has any amount of documentation or discoverability :-( I see what you mean about the jitter on expand contract. I can't think of a way to handle, but if I ever open the source again I'll think about some sort of hysteresis.

[9fans] [acme] Edit command -- More than one argument?
Hello, everyone, I'm in the process of learning acme via Russ Cox's p9p port. Recently, I found myself editing some text to use with markdown, and needed to make more than one modification to a list. I wanted to know if it's possible to give the Edit command more than one argument. For example, I found myself needing to replace colons with a close bracket (]), and inserting an open bracket at the beginning of the line. So I did this: Edit s/^/\[/ Edit s/\:\ /\]/ And I was hoping to combine these into a single line, so, for example: Edit s/^/\[/ s/\:\ /\]/ (Not sure if escaping was necessary, but I was playing it safe) Doing exactly what I did above resulted in the error Edit: newline expected (saw f) So that's obviously not it. But I'm not sure if it's at all possible. Thank you in advance. -- Eduardo Alvarez Stercus, Stercus, Stercus, moriturus sum -- Rincewind The Wizzard pgpRmAdk0U2w7.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [9fans] [acme] Edit command -- More than one argument?
but you can't do this on a acme headline. So how would you apply such multiline
commands to a range you marked in the buffer?
Edit {
s/^/\[/
s/\:\ /\]/

Yes you can. That's how I verified this works. Open up the tag to multiple lines (just type newline in the tag). -rob
Re: [9fans] [acme] Edit command -- More than one argument?
Yes you can. That's how I verified this works. Open up the tag to multiple lines (just type newline in the tag). And in any event, the multiline Edit command can be executed from within the editable text, where vertical space is not usually at a premium. Takes some tidying up afterwards, but that's a small price to pay. Lucio. PS: I've never done this, is it going to work? :-) - This email has been scanned by the MxScan Email Security System. -
Re: [9fans] [acme] Edit command -- More than one argument?
At least p9p acme has multiline tags. Personally, I prefer 2-1 chord
complicated or frequent stuff onto Edit command

Re: [9fans] [acme] Edit command -- More than one argument?
Yes you can. That's how I verified this works. Open up the tag to
multiple lines (just type newline in the tag).
I use the plan9 legacy version, that seems to ignore typed newlines. With the
p9p it works and possible with the 9front version too.
Actually I can echo 'Edit {…
}'/mnt/acme/{winid}/tag
with newlines and use that.
Edit {
s/^/\[/g
s/$/\]/g
}
Or you can use the 2-1 chord to apply and use the Edit command in-place. But
you need a confident mouse hand to use that effectively.

Re: [9fans] [acme] Edit command -- More than one argument?
Plan 9's Acme doesn't support multiline (at least not version I have). The way you can do it is to put the multiline instructions for Edit in a different buffer; then select the multiline instructions and middle-left click on Edit of the file you want to edit.

We (Russ and I) never ported it back to Plan9 because there's a subtle layout bug when columns have different height fonts for the tag and the body. I works well enough for us, but isn't at the quality it should be.

Re: [9fans] [acme] Edit command -- More than one argument?
What do you mean by resizing flicker? I've never seen it with the multi-line tags. And we do resize the tag by hand - the scroll wheel opens and shuts it, in addition to adding/removing the trailing newline.
