Hi there,

I'm new to edwood, it's a great project, thanks for your work.

I'm trying to figure out how to set up the plumber and plumb rule with my edwood.

As on plan9, I can used cat rules.txt | 9p write plumb/rules, but not sure how to do this on Windows 11.

Can you please give me some direction for this?

I don't know how to run the plumber on Windows. @camsn0w has told me that parts of Plan9Port will work in the Windows Linux subsystem. Maybe you could use that? With a working plumber, the above would work. (Your approach works on Linux and MacOS.)

I see, thanks!

I wonder how does the Button Three work for edwood,

From http://acme.cat-v.org/mouse, it says, Button Three - Plumb, if plumb fails, search for next occurrence of text*..
If we don't run plumber on Windows, how do we implement this?

Also do you we have any doc that shows how to set up https://github.com/fhs/acme-lsp with edwood?

Hi @camsn0w do you have any doc that I can follow up for using the plumber with WSL, then I can feed it to edwood

There's a default implementation of the right button. Look at look3() if the plumber isn't working.

I don't. I mean to get around to setting it up. @fhs has some reasonable getting started info at the link that you shared. Maybe try it out and see how it works. If you make some notes, please add them here as a PR.

Have you tried installing WSL and installing edwood on it and running it over the new windows xserver? That seems like the most painless way to do it.
