1.2 deraadt 18: .Sh DESCRIPTION
19: .Nm
1.3 aaron 20: is intended to be a small, fast, and portable editor for
1.33 kjell 21: people who can't (or don't want to) run emacs for one
1.2 deraadt 22: reason or another, or are not familiar with the
23: .Xr vi 1
1.6 aaron 24: editor.
25: It is compatible with emacs because there shouldn't
1.2 deraadt 26: be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or
27: .Xr vi 1 .

1.21 henning 30: .Bl -tag -width Ds
1.36 sobrado 31: .It + Ns Ar number
1.16 deraadt 32: Go to the line specified by number (do not insert
1.33 kjell 33: a space between the
34: .Sq +
35: sign and the number).
1.20 mjc 36: If a negative number is specified, the line number counts
37: backwards from the end of the file i.e. +-1 will be the last
38: line of the file, +-2 will be second last, and so on.
1.121 lum 39: .It Fl b Ar file
40: Turn on batch mode and execute the
41: .Nm
42: commands found in the specified
43: .Ar file
44: and then terminate.
1.36 sobrado 45: .It Fl f Ar mode
1.132 op 46: Run the
47: .Ar mode
48: command for all buffers created from
1.17 vincent 49: arguments on the command line, including the
50: scratch buffer and all files.
1.120 lum 51: .It Fl n
52: Turn off backup file generation.
53: .It Fl R
54: Files specified on the command line will be opened read-only.
1.119 lum 55: .It Fl u Ar file
56: Use
57: .Ar file
58: as the startup file, instead of the default
59: .Pa ~/.mg .
1.16 deraadt 60: .El
1.33 kjell 61: .Sh WINDOWS AND BUFFERS
62: When a file is loaded into
63: .Nm ,
64: it is stored in a
65: .Em buffer .
66: This buffer may be displayed on the screen in more than one window.
67: At present, windows may only be split horizontally, so each window is
68: delineated by a modeline at the bottom.
69: If changes are made to a buffer, it will be reflected in all open windows.
1.70 florian 70: .Pp
71: If a file is changed outside
72: .Nm
73: and its buffer is about to be changed,
74: .Nm
75: prompts if the change should go ahead (y), not go ahead (n) or if the buffer
76: should be reverted (r) to the latest file on disk.
1.43 kjell 77: .Pp
78: If a buffer name begins and ends with an asterisk, the buffer is considered
1.44 jmc 79: throwaway; i.e. the user will not be prompted to save changes when
1.43 kjell 80: the buffer is killed.
1.33 kjell 81: .Sh POINT AND MARK
82: The current cursor location in
83: .Nm
84: is called the
1.39 jmc 85: .Em point
1.37 kjell 86: (or
87: .Em dot ) .
1.33 kjell 88: It is possible to define a window-specific region of text by setting a second
89: location, called the
90: .Em mark .
91: The
92: .Em region
93: is the text between point and mark inclusive.
94: Deleting the character at the mark position leaves
95: the mark at the point of deletion.
96: .Pp
97: Note: The point and mark are window-specific in
98: .Nm ,
99: not buffer-specific, as in other emacs flavours.
1.64 lum 100: .Sh BACKUP FILES
1.65 jmc 101: Backup files have a
102: .Sq ~
103: character appended to the file name and
1.64 lum 104: are created in the current working directory by default.
105: Whether to create backup files or not can be toggled with the
1.133 ! op 106: .Ic make-backup-files
! 107: command.
1.64 lum 108: The backup file location can either be in the current
1.65 jmc 109: working directory, or all backups can be moved to a
110: .Pa ~/.mg.d
111: directory where files retain their path name to retain uniqueness.
1.133 ! op 112: Use the
! 113: .Ic backup-to-home-directory
! 114: command to alternate between these two locations.
1.105 tedu 115: Further, if any application creates backup files in
116: .Pa /tmp ,
1.133 ! op 117: these can be left with the
! 118: .Ic leave-tmpdir-backups
! 119: command.
1.56 lum 120: .Sh TAGS
121: .Nm
1.57 lum 122: supports tag files created by
1.56 lum 123: .Xr ctags 1 ,
1.57 lum 124: allowing the user to quickly locate various object definitions.
125: Note though that emacs uses etags, not ctags.
1.61 lum 126: .Sh CSCOPE
127: .Nm
128: supports navigating source code using cscope.
129: However,
130: .Nm
131: requires cscope and cscope-indexer executables to be present in
132: .Ev PATH
133: for it to work.
1.33 kjell 134: .Sh DEFAULT KEY BINDINGS
1.53 lum 135: Normal editing commands are very similar to GNU Emacs.
1.47 sobrado 136: In the following examples, C-x means Control-x, and M-x means Meta-x,
1.54 lum 137: where the Meta key may be either a special key on the keyboard
1.4 deraadt 138: or the ALT key; otherwise ESC followed by the key X works as well.
