Folks,
When you use acme, is there any trick you use when repeatedly
applying an identical Edit command to separate blocks of text?
In some situations I don't have an x// that selects all of the data
to operate on so I can't set up sub commands (x/../{ ... }).
Instead, I sometimes end up highlighting one block of text, going
to a scratch buffer and highlighting an Edit command, going back
to my file window and sending the text to Edit.
When I move on to the next block of text to Edit, I end up having
to repeat the mouse operations to re-select the Edit commands to
send. Is there a way around this repeated selections of the Edit,
or do I have to copy the entire argument into the tag?
I was wondering if there was a solution like the Run command Russ
posted [*] that could be used with Edit? Or do you just copy the
entire text to the tag?
