Pmacs is an Emacs-like editor written entirely in Python. It is designed to have
|
2007-07-17 07:40:04 -04:00
|
|
|
maximally correct and powerful support for syntax highlighting, to support
|
|
|
|
|
various methods of automatically indenting lines, and to be extensible in
|
|
|
|
|
python.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pmacs is available to you under the GPL version 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the general interface of pmacs is related to emacs, there was explicitly
|
|
|
|
|
no attempt to support all emacs' functions, emacs' underlying data structures,
|
|
|
|
|
or even high-level. There is not currently a formalized "public API" for pmacs,
|
|
|
|
|
although some parts are "more public" than others. The code is somewhat
|
|
|
|
|
commented, although currently there is only one author. Buyer beware!

Quick Start Guide:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Download and unpack the pmacs tarball file. After this, there should be
|
|
|
|
|
a directory called "pmacs2" somewhere in your filesystem. It doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
matter where you put this. We'll call the full path to this directory
|
|
|
|
|
PMACSDIR; in future steps substitute the actual path for this symbol.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Create a symlink to PMACSDIR/application.py and put it in a directory
|
|
|
|
|
listed in your $PATH (~/bin, /usr/local/bin, and /usr/bin are all good
|
|
|
|
|
candidates). You can name this symlink whatever you want; I use "pmc".
|
|
|
|
|
3. Try editing a file, by typing "pmc FILE" where FILE is the path to the
|
|
|
|
|
file you want to edit.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Edit the file!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can type Control-c and then Meta-h to get a list of all the
|
|
|
|
|
available actions and which key(s) perform them. Type Control-x k to get
|
|
|
|
|
out of the "help buffer". If you have used emacs, many (but not all) of
|
|
|
|
|
these keybindings should seem familiar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. To save your changes, type Control-x Control-s. To quit, type Control-x
|
|
|
|
|
Control-c. To quit without saving changes, type Control-c Control-c.

There is currently no other documentation (besides comments in the code). Good
|
|
|
|
|
luck!
