[9fans] Acme: look for text in tags

[Yuning Feng]

Is there a way to look for text in tags?

My instinct was to type in the topmost tag, then perform a button-3
click. It did not work.

A round-about way is to execute

 <9p read acme/index

and look for it there (using plan9port, much appreciated if I can be
directed to the right place to ask if this is not). The drawback is
that this needs to be done every time the tags have changed.

At the moment, button-3 click in the topmost tag does not seem to do
anything. It would be good if it could be interpreted as looking for
text in tags, if that fits into the mechanism of the editor.

Not bad, just put wrap it in a script maybe ? I wonder if the plumber
has a way of knowing if a message comes from the tag bar.

Personally I've always felt like it would be nicer if a Look or Edit (without X or Y) in the tag bar of a column (or the top bar), would perform the operation on all buffers contained in the column (or all windows).

Would make for an easy mouse based way of doing an operation on
multiple buffers.

% grep channel.c /mnt/acme/[1-9]*/tag
