Re: [9fans] /acme/edit

I've used vi for so much time, I fear to become brain-damaged.
Now seriously, ok, the command language is the definitive way of doing
some things, but acme was the first mouse editor that won me.
And I'm happy with that.

I've read the manuals (how came I haven't seen that part on Edit before?)
and now maybe the only use vi will have from now will be in /etc/fstab!
Good Bye TTY!

As everybody is asking (demanding?!?) something recently, I have a little
sugestion:

There are some commands that do not appear in the per buffer menu nor in
the per column menu, but some of them I use all the time:
2button mouse(so chord doesnt work), and "Cut Paste" are far away at the
top of the column (very distant).

Proposal:
It would be nice to configure the default menu for both coulmn and
buffer setting the environment variables.

I don't know the overhead of doing this, as file operations, but
I guess the cost is some context switching with the /env fs.

Just in case nobody had already that idea.
