Topicbox-Message-UUID: 120afbfa-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hello everyone, I am taking the Acme workflow for a spin. I am coming from Emacs and Vi. I have read the manual and the original paper discussing the motivations behind its design. I am familiar with mouse based editing in the NEdit style to ane extent that I can use it properly with NEdit, but I am having trouble understanding just how the workflows of Acme work with real world type questions. Is there anything out there that would help me connect some of the tasks I often wish to do with the efficient Acme approach? I'm missing small things, like how to select and move all the text in one window to another in a fast manner, but I'm also missing big things like how to quickly navigate through to specific parts of a file and how to reduce redundancy of typing and movement. Does anyone have any suggestions? Aaron W. Hsu -- Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. -- C. S. Lewis
