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 [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 745 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

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. 2013/12/14 Blake McBride <blake@mcbride.name> > 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.

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.

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