Someone once made a little filesystem that would substitute spaces in fi= lenames with a different character. When placed between the normal fs and A= cme, this would make things work quite nicely.

If I remember correctly, Acme-SAC (built on top of Inferno) does that by= default.

No idea where you can find such a fs for Mac though. But this might give= you a start.

Greetings,

Just started using acme (and= sam). =C2=A0Cool.

I am using acme on a Mac form p= lan9port.

Within a file list one can right-click a= listing in order to decend=C2=A0into another directory or loa= d a file. =C2=A0The problem is that neither work if a space is contained wi= thin the name. =C2=A0Apparently, the right-click functionality only looks a= t non-white space strings. =C2=A0An easy fix to this would be to allow the = user to highlight the entire string (including spaces) and then right-click= as normal. =C2=A0The system would allow the highlight facility to override= the "just test for contigous=C2=A0non-space string"= current functionality.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.<= /div>
