Re[2]: [9fans] text editor (chording)

There was a patch to the Unix sam ages (years) ago
that added mouse chording for cut and paste, I could probably
dig them out of an old archive if anyone's interested. It would
probably need a bit of work as sam has evolved since the diffs
where taken.

i've used Wily for quite a bit (although not for a good while now)
and found the differences and inconsistancies to be really painful.
i imagine it'd still be a good step up for someone not already
familiar with acme. the acme-in-inferno-on-unix solution is one
i use occasionally now (since i'm only occasionally at a unix box)
and really like.

since my unix boxes are generally remote, i edit files on them most
of the time by 9fs'ing (using u9fs on the unix box) and running
acme. occasionally i have to edit files on a box i don't admin (and
thus can't put u9fs on), and sam -r works well for that. even that's
somewhat awkward (to be polite) now... i _really_ miss acme's
mouse chording.
?

i advise you, and anyone else in your situation, not to try acme.
once you get used to it you'll curse vi and never be able to get
anything done on unix.
