My very own acme-inspired terminal text editor.
Because everything else is Not Invented Here.
You need Go. Then:
go get -u github.com/prodhe/poe
Binary distribution may or not be available. As of now, the source should do just fine.
Use the mouse. ^Q exits.
Everything is text and everything is editable. There are two ways to interact with text, Run or Open.
Open (Right-click or Shift+Click) will assume the selected text is a file or a directory and will open a new window listing its content. If none is found, it does nothing.
Run (Middle-click or Alt+Click) interprets the text as a command, which can be an internal poe command like New, Del or Exit. If none is found, it does nothing.
^L redraws terminal in case of rendering glitches.
^E moves to end of line. If already at the end, move to the beginning of next line.
^A move to beginning of line. If already at the beginning, move to the end of the previous line.
^W deletes word backwards.
^U deletes to beginning of line.
^C copies selection.
^V pastes into selection or place of cursor.
^Z undo, ^Y redo. If you go back and change something, the future is lost. Like proper time travel.
^S saves current buffer to disk.
^Q closes whatever makes most sense to close. A window, a column or the program if nothing else remains.
New opens an empty window.
Del closes current window. If it is the last window, the program will exit.
Newcol creates a new column with a new window.
Delcol removes current column along with all containing windows.
Get reloads the buffer from disk, wiping any changes you have made since the file was last read.
Exit closes all windows and exits the program.
Run command on date executes date as a shell command and presents its output in the message window named +poe. Or pwd, or ls -l, or curl google.se, or... you get the idea.
Endless. As of now, it is in constant development and things may (and will) break unannounced. Do not use for production.
