[9fans] simulating two-pane scrolling in acme?

2015-09-25 Thread Mart Zirnask
Hi, What's a simple way to simulate two-pane view and scrolling in p9p acme? E.g. I would first open file.txt in two columns like this: line 1 | line 4 line 2 | line 5 line 3 | line 6 And now I'd like to scroll down the "whole page", so the next screen I'm facing would look lik

There is also a standalone Unix port of sam that includes chording, xft, custom colors and a few other hacks. It's a pleasure to work with; I've even come to prefer the initial, black and white UI. http://www.deadpixi.com/an-updated-version-of-sam On 22 May 2016 at 08:29, Iruatã Souza wrote: > T

There is also a very actively maintained stand-alone Unix fork for sam: https://github.com/deadpixi/sam It has several additional keybindings, a command ("b") to perform a fuzzy match on file names and, most recently -- colors! (Be sure to look at the screenshot.) Sam is really interesting. Cheer

Hi, I stumbled across this minimalist single-window Acme clone: http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/ma.tar.gz It's written by Felix Winkelmann, the creator of Chicken Scheme. The source is dated 2016-11-17, so apparently it is recent work. I also took a screenshot. As you can see, windo

A related question: 9front sam has the ^ command, which makes it easy to apply multiple sam commands to the dot from a script, e.g: #!/bin/rc cat << END ,x/red/ c/blue/ ,x/yellow/ c/green/ END How does one accomplish this in oldschool Unix sam -d without the ^ command, and also without using ssam

Sorry for the late reply -- great hint, thanks very much. In a perfect world, I would need a solution that also works on Windows (with the ported unix/p9 tools), but I'll probably build the sam9f-unix port by iru- [1] for now. Btw, can anybody point me to the initial ^ and/or _ command patch? In
