I really wish acme were just fixed. I find acme a beautiful editor. A small number of issues render the editor too much of a hassle to use for me. It is a shame because I really like it. It is clean, simple, easy to learn, and powerful. Thanks.

Perhaps making the tagline a = special case where acme will read from the left to the bar | and use that f= or the file/directory name.

You would still have to chord it elsewhere but it might fix = the most annoying issue (inability to one click put etc)

Thoughts?
