[9fans] Replace text in acme window with the plumber

[Matthias Teege]

Moin,

occasionally I use textmacros in acme to save typing. I use something like
_TMACRO. Its easy to catch this with a plumber rule and right click. It
is easy to replace all macros in the whole file with its expansions. It
is also easy to use '< expander _TMACRO' but it would be nice if I can
expand only the macro i (b3) clicked on.

I have a plumbing rule and an rc script which output the expansion in
a new window. It is possible to make the expansion "in place"?

Many thanks
Matthias

i think the easiest way to do this is to keep "|expander" in
your acme tag, highlight (b1 sweep) the _TMACRO you'd
like to expand, and b2 click |expander.

pushing things through plumber means expander won't
have the window context. you might be able to mount
acme's exported namespace and figure it out, but it'd be
a lot of work for no obvious reason.

Not moving the pointer would be a reason...
