Actually the feature I immediately found myself missing (after building
plan9port and running acme) is wily's Dotfiles command that toggles
whether or not dot files are displayed in directories. Unfortunately, in
my typical unix home directory there are about twice as many dot files as
regular files.  Is there some way that I'm missing in acme to hide files
whose names start with dot?

I'm so psyched about having real acme in linux, I'm considering tackling
two enhancements:

(1) Using an XWindows resource to specify the size of the acme window.

(2) Providing a command-line parameter or XWindows resource to specify
swapping scrolling direction of mouse buttons 1 and 3 (to make it the same
as all the other programs I use).

After these two, my next one would probably be some way to hide dot files.

Any objections or recommendations for how to tackle these?
