It is so noted in acme(1); it just took me a while reading sam(1) to figure out the proper command syntax. --Joel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I’ve been trying something really simple—changing every occurence of ‘foo’ to ‘bar’— and can’t seem to make it work. I have some variation of Edit s/foo/bar/ in the window’s tag, middle-select the whole thing, and get an error message saying “Edit: no substitution”. And this is after reading the manuals and /sys/doc/ papers on both acme and sam; I just don’t get it. ☹ --Joel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
