is it possible to execute built-in command
and external command with one mouse click in Acme?

something like: Putall; mk

Hi there,

It seems that it is *possible* but...  Well, have a look at [1].  It
almost certainly will break in some cases.  For starters, if a dirty
file is modified outside of acme it won't work; you'll have to clean
that up yourself.  Also, grepping the tag for 'Put |' is a screaming
hack but acme doesn't expose all of the information you need to
implement Putall externally.

All in all, it's a lot of mucking around to save 1 mouse click.  Just
place Putall and mk side-by-side in your tag and be done with it.
