Aside from " and "" others have mentioned (which are *really useful*), note that snarf+paste is the wrong idiom for this anyway, double click at start/end of line + send (which if the last action was a 'send' becomes a single click) is usually much better. Inside acme's win it is even easier. And also, it is rare to Snarf with a menu when you can mouse chord instead. uriel > 5. to make rc auto-scroll for programs that output many pages of text, e. > g. a du on a deep directory tree, and to not block them after a single > page? > 6. to make rc auto-complete with the [tab] key, instead of the [ins] key? > 7. to make rc auto-complete commands and not only file/directory names? > 8. to make the [del] key delete the character at the caret as it does in > many other environments? > 9. to search a manual page while reading it, and not by piping it through > grep? > > Are there... > > 1. any (configurable or otherwise) keyboard shortcuts in acme/rio? > 2. alternatives to mouse navigation and, particularly, text selection in > acme? > 3. ways to quit acid without deleting its window or hitting [ctrl]+[d] > twice, which ends up deleting the window and all the scrollback buffer > with it (I could not find a quit() function in the manual page)? > > Notes on the Plan 9 way of interfacing (the user side of it, of course) > are also welcome.
