How about using `B hoge.ps'?

or type `B' in the tag line and do 2-1 chording
with the postscript file being selected.

[9fans] acme without plumbing

[okamoto]

I often want to edit postscript files on the acme window.
However, postscript file usually goes to plumb, and shows
it's content. ☺

How about to make introduce a key binding of, say, Shift+button 3
without plumbing.

I'd suggest avoiding the combination of a keystroke and a mouse-button
click, which seems to me, personally, to be an abomination.  I expect
the keyboard and mouse to operate independently, and this kind of
unholy union seems like the road to emacs-ville: `okay, now type
control-meta-shift-coke-bottle-F12-button-2-eject-the-CD-drive-
dim-your-monitor'.

Why not buy one of those mice with the five buttons and two wheels and
assign button 4 as `open directly in acme, bypassing plumbing' or
something?

Because I was fool enough not knowing B command in acme.
Yes, I'm now recalling my fading memory,,,   some months ago,
Rob or Rog or Rus mentioned it here...

You can also give New an argument, which is what I've done
in the past.

B uses the plumber, so i don't think it will help you.  but New is just
a command to open a file in acme, so that should work always.

actually, it should work ok, as it sets "-d edit" in the plumb
command.

Strange, I'm now editting foo.ps file with B command on acme
menu bar.
