By default I think rio runs acme with -l lib/acme.dump, but you can certainly have as many of these around as you'd like. this is controlled by lib/profile, rather than rio. - erik

I keep many dump files around with different names, to easily suspend, switch, and resume acme configurations depending on what I need to work on. This significantly reduces my context switch time, over and above the advantage I get from guide files keeping me from (mis)retyping commands. in

Aaron's problem is not dumping per se, it's saving his indentation and other command line state between sessions. Unless there's something I missed, you can only enable functions like auto-indent via the command line(-a) or via Indent on in acme. The dump doesn't preserve indent state so yes,

Do you want to add all these features to acme, or is it possible to have an external process which writes to acme ctl files and causes these things to happen? ron

you mean outside of the dump when acme is dies for reasons other than being killed/exited? with win state, how are you going to handle the state of the shell? I can see why they're dynamic, it could be potentially misleading to see a changed namespace/rfork etc... and expect the shell to have the

If all you want is to preserve the -a flag, add to your profile: ; fn a { acme -a; } Problem solved. uriel P.S.: Admitedly this doesn't fix up the plumber, but once you have an acme session the plumber will use it, and you can fix it up for the plumber equally simply. On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at
