you can use { and tab to make your code visually more appealing. if
that's not enough use eclipse or read the code.

in Acme doubleclick on any of { [ ( < or > ) ] } braces/brackets/parens.
Acme will select (highlight) the area between this and the matching open/close
element.
- use left/right arrow keys to go to the other open/close element
- use Backspace to delete the selected content
- just type to replace the selected content
- use`Edit' to manipulate only the selected content
for example, to increase or decrease indentation of the selection only:
Edit s,^\t,\t\t,g
Edit s,^\t,,g
(where \t should be entered as Tab)
FWIW, i was missing syntax highlighting for about one month of using Acme.
since then i like it black.
using a custom font helps: http://mirtchovski.com/p9/freetype/index.php

rgb
Dejavu Sans, sizes 10...17, with slight antialiasing.
size 16 looks good on 2048x1152 23'' displays.

perhaps this discussion about acme might be of interest...
(this points at Russ' contribution in the otherwise longer thread)

Nice post, I've saved it for my own reference. I'd only disagree with point 14; customizing acme's colors in the source is trivial, easier than rio, although it reminds me I should ed-script the color patches on my system. Also...

That's what I do. As well as ^F I appreciate deeply-nested system dirs
all having 3-character names, typing them becomes a rhythm. Even so,
with my fingers it's still not very convenient on a bad day. I keep
meaning to try Xplor.
