making the state available to programs doesn't really cut it for me. for it to be useful in moment-to-moment interactions with acme, it must be visible on screen, in the same way that the dirty bit has the top left indicator (well, mostly). > privately i think the Rev command is redundant, but meh. well, i've gone all these years without it, so it is redundant in that sense, but it still feels a bit awkward when browsing a large file and right clicking one-too-many times, that i have to copy the text to the tag, insert :-/, reselect and/or quote metacharacters, and click. it's a sequence i often get slightly wrong too by getting the selection slightly out. a single-click reverse search would quickly internalise and be very useful i think. the difficulty is coming up with the right way of doing it.
