poe - acme for cli

poe

My very own acme -inspired terminal text editor.

Because everything else is Not Invented Here.

Install

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.

Usage

Use the mouse. ^Q exits.

Everything is text and everything is editable. There are two ways to interact with text, Run or Open .

Open ( ^O , right-click or Ctrl+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 ( ^R , middle-click or Alt+Click) interprets the text as a command, which can be an internal poe command like New or Del . If none is found, it does nothing.

^S saves current buffer to disk. You can change the name by edit the tagline.

^Z undo, ^Y redo.

^W deletes word backwards.

^U deletes to beginning of line.

Commands

New opens an empty window.

Newcol creates a new column with a new window.

Del closes current window. If it is the last window, the program will exit.

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.

Bugs

Endless. As of now, it is in constant development and things may (and will) break unannounced. Do not use for production.
