Re: [9fans] Alternative to fine-grained mouse usage?

[hiro <23hiro@gmail.com>]

i don't think you're missing anything obvious in terms of acme, it's
clearly not made for you.

your options are either to modify acme itself and insert keyboard
shortcuts, or to ignore acme and try to make as many little scripts as
possible, executed from rio terminals.

i often feel like i can not justify the time to spend and create
scripts for everything, when i can instead use an iterative
interactive process of running and editing and then rerunning commands
in rio.

but given your input problems, i am sure you can not only use this
excuse to spend more time on automation, but you'll get rather good at
it, too, over time, meaning you will be able to remember more and
re-use more of your own commands for many different use cases...

at some point you'll have invented your own couple hundred private
languages that will require just plain text based input methods. it's
very effective, just not very standard and not very acme-like.

so yeah, personally i'd chose this: just make more rc scripts, as many
as you can :)
