Hi there-
Please pardon the dumb question if this has been covered before. I did some brief searches of the archive and couldn't find it...
I'm running plan9port on macOS. I noticed that in acme, (and also sam) if I select part of a string and press delete, the selection gets deleted and also one additional character in front of the selection. For example, if I type "/path/to/file" and double-click file, file gets highlighted, and if I press delete, "/file" gets deleted leaving me with "path/to". This seems counter-intuitive as I expected only what I had highlighted to be deleted.
There is a GitHub issue (#424) https://github.com/9fans/plan9port/issues/424 filed for this as well.
Just curious, is this by design, or is this a bug? I'm inclined to think it's by design as it occurs within sam as well.
As always, thanks!!
-Ben

The world is a little less interesting without Boyd.

Don't forget Esc cuts a selection.

Sorry, I seem to have hit Post by accident. Too bad there isn't
an Undo for that ...
