Greetings. I have been searching fairly extensively for a quick and efficient way of block-commenting in acme.
[Apparently this can be done using /* */, but I strongly dislike that syntax, for the reason that once you use it somewhere, if you then want to block-comment a larger section, you can't, because the */ that is already there will end the comment.] An alternative is to use the following, via M2 select, or M1 select, M2 click: | sed 's/^/\/\//' That works. But it takes a while to type, and would have to be re-inserted in each new acme window, to the best of my knowledge. What I would like, would be to put it in a shell-script stored somewhere, and then just call that script from acme. I have done this, storing it in both /usr/glenda/bin/rc and /acme/bin/arm (for the raspberry-pi), with no result. There is at least one claim that this should work: https://github.com/evbogdanov/acme/blob/master/bin/c, and documentation. I have observed that he/she uses bash, and that this whole thing might/probably uses plan9port, and therefore these methods might simply not apply to something like 9front. The absolute best would be a keyboard shortcut, similar to the ones here: https://github.com/evbogdanov/acme (some of which work, the rest I haven't tried, other sites also document such things), but implementing that is over the edge of the research I've done so far. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Td1c9bb890f22e833-M403a6268044be321a1217d5b Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
