It's > substantially smaller than I expected. Very cool; please, could you put it in sources/contrib? See: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/How_to_contribute/ (I think patch/saved overlaps too much with sources/contrib but either should be OK) > Should I also allow carriage returns in the tag text now? This might be confusing because IMHO the main purpose for a multi line tag is to accommodate longer paths and I don't see much use for explicit new lines, also opens it to abuse as scratch space for big chunks of stuff where a guide file should be used instead. BTW, anyone knows if there is a way to snarf the path from a tag without making the window 'dirty'? The usual mouse chording idiom that works for the body seems to fail in the tag, and not even Undo helps after that. uriel
