Re: [9fans] Long tags in acme

[Russ Cox <russcox@gmail.com>]

I put the dollar sign code back in as acme -'$' in plan9port.
The CVS tag version had gotten quite out-of-date.
It's undocumented and intentionally hard to type, but
maybe someone will start there and figure out a better
solution to the problem.

There's a big comment on it explaining why it's not such
a great idea, but at the same time I know a handful of people
have found it useful and were maintaining it themselves.

I've recently moved to a 1024x768 laptop screen (from a
large 1400x1050) and spent a half hour today making things
fit better on my screen: smaller fonts, different acme.dump,
etc.  I also tried the $env tags again.  They're a big win on
the small screen.  Folding tag lines might be sufficient in my
case, but the $env tags are easier to implement.  At least
now I can run with multiple columns *and* see the Put verb
in my tags.
