[9fans] acme label lengths in tags

2013-08-27 Thread James A. Robinson
Do you folks have any solutions to shortening the length of labels in acme? Back when I used Wily it had a nice feature to use environment variables if it found a match, e.g., one could set h=/Users/jimr and wily would show $h instead of /Users/jimr in the tag. Anyone know of similar techniques

Hi folks, I just recently started using Acme. Years ago I was a heavy user of sam and wily, but when I moved from Linux to a Mac OS X machine I found the X11 based programs were a bit too fiddly on the mac. Plan9Port changes all that of course, and for years now I've been wanting to try m

So I see that it actually isn't possible to do what I want, that the write operations to an event file are limited to just positional information. That's unfortunate, I had really hoped it was possible to simulate events via an external program. .../src/libacme/acme.c: int winwriteevent(Win *w,

Hi folks, I can't spot anything in the man page about this: is it expected that Acme win will echo the trailing part of a Send command if the length of the command exceeds 75 characters? An example: http://highwire.stanford.edu/~jimr/acme-win-76.png Jim
