Subject: [9fans] acme: copy selection to new window
Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:03:37 +0000 [thread overview]

In plan9port acme, I'd like a command to copy selected text into new window.
Here's rc implementation:
% cat >/tmp/copy
#!/usr/bin/env rc
. $PLAN9/lib/acme.rc
winctl 'addr=dot'
winread data >/tmp/selection
@{
? ? ? ?newwindow
? ? ? ?cat /tmp/selection | winwrite body
}
%
Consider the scenario:
(1) Create a window that reads:
foo
bar
baz
(2) Add tag command /tmp/copy.
(3) Select "bar".
(4) Execute /tmp/copy.
I expect new window to contain only the text "bar".
In reality, the window contains "bar", and the unexpected "baz".
Where's the problem?
Thanks.
Jacek
