[9fans] Acme: single quotes and hyphens

[9fans] Acme: single quotes and hyphens

Greetings,

While working with acme I had a problem with spell checking.
 Investigating, I discovered that my setup of acme is not using normal
single quotes or hyphens.  Instead of inserting what all other editors
insert when I hit my single quote or dash keys, acme is inserting some
other (2 byte?) character.  I understand unicode but I am American-English.
 My compiler and spell checker expect single byte, standard ASCII codes for
dash and single quotes.  I absolutely can't use acme like this.

I am using the standard font.  Is there a way for me to correct this
behavior?

Thanks.

Blake McBride

It's your keyboard layout. acme does no such thing to my knowledge.
Also it has nothing to do with the font. I assume you use p9p acme
on Mac OS X based on your last letter. So I can't help you more.

Apology.  I started using a shell script I created to perform text wrap in
acme by executing the script with |wrap
Turns out it is my script (nroff version of groff) that is doing it.  That
should be easy to fix.

Thanks, and sorry about the confusion.

No problem. Use |fmt to word wrap. nroff does much more.

fmt works fine.  Thanks.  BTW, besides 'Edit ,', is there an easier way to
select an entire file (to send to a program)?

Thanks again.
