CONFIGURATION
Emulating Other Editors
JED's ability to create new functions using the S--Lang
programming language as well as allowing the user to
choose key bindings, makes the emulation of other editors
possible. Currently, JED provides reasonable emulation of
the Emacs, EDT, and Wordstar editors.
Emacs Emulation
Emacs Emulation is provided by the S-Lang code in
emacs.sl. The basic functionality of Emacs is emulated;
most Emacs users should have no problem with JED. To
enable Emacs emulation in JED, make sure that the line:
() = evalfile ("emacs");
is in your jed.rc (.jedrc) startup file. JED is dis-
tributed with this line already present in the default
jed.rc file.
EDT Emulation
For EDT emulation, edt.sl must be loaded. This is accom-
plished by ensuring that the line:
() = evalfile ("edt");
is in present in the jed.rc (.jedrc) Startup File.
Wordstar Emulation
wordstar.sl contains the S-Lang code for JED's Wordstar
emulation. Adding the line
() = evalfile ("wordstar");
to your jed.rc (.jedrc) startup file will enable JED's
Wordstar emulation.
RUN TIME
Status line and Windows
JED supports multiple windows. Each window may contain
the same buffer or different buffers. A status line is
displayed immediately below each window. The status line
contains information such as the JED version number, the
buffer name, mode, etc. Please beware of the following
indicators:
**
buffer has been modified since last save.
%%
buffer is read only.
m
Mark set indicator. This means a region is being
defined.
d
File changed on disk indicator. This indicates
that the file associated with the buffer is newer
than the buffer itself.
s
spot pushed indicator.
+
Undo is enabled for the buffer.
[Narrow]
Buffer is narrowed to a region of LINES.
[Macro]
A macro is being defined.
Mini-Buffer.
The Mini-Buffer consists of a single line located at the
bottom of the screen. Much of the dialog between the user
and JED takes place in this buffer. For example, when you
search for a string, JED will prompt you for the string in
the Mini-Buffer.
The Mini-Buffer also provides a direct link to the S-Lang-
interpreter. To access the interpreter, press Ctrl-X Esc
and the S-Lang> prompt will appear in the Mini-Buffer.
Enter any valid S-Lang expression for evaluation by the
interpreter.
It is possible to recall data previously entered into the
Mini-Buffer by using the up and down arrow keys. This
makes it possible to use and edit previous expressions in
a convenient and efficient manner.
Basic Editing
Editing with JED is pretty easy - most keys simply insert
themselves. Movement around the buffer is usually done
using the arrow keys or page up and page down keys. If
edt.sl is loaded, the keypads on VTxxx terminals function
as well. Here, only the highlights are touched upon
(cut/paste operations are not considered `highlights').
In the following, any character prefixed by the ^ charac-
ter denotes a Control character. On keyboards without an
explicit Escape key, Ctrl-[ will most likely generate and
Escape character.
A prefix argument to a command may be generated by first
hitting the Esc key, then entering the number followed by
pressing the desired key. Normally, the prefix argument
is used simply for repetition. For example, to move to
the right 40 characters, one would press Esc 4 0 followed
immediately by the right arrow key. This illustrates the
use of the repeat argument for repetition. However, the
prefix argument may be used in other ways as well. For
example, to begin defining a region, one would press the
Ctrl-@ key. This sets the mark and begins highlighting.
Pressing the Ctrl-@ key with a prefix argument will abort
the act of defining the region and to pop the mark.
The following list of useful keybindings assumes that
emacs.sl has been loaded.
Ctrl-L
Redraw screen.
Ctrl-_
Undo (Control-underscore, also Ctrl-X u').
Esc q
Reformat paragraph (wrap mode). Used with a prefix
argument. will justify the paragraph as well.
Esc n
narrow paragraph (wrap mode). Used with a prefix
argument will justify the paragraph as well.
Esc ;
Make Language comment (Fortran and C)
Esc \
Trim whitespace around point
Esc !
Execute shell command
Esc $
Ispell word
Ctrl-X ?
Show line/column information.
`
quoted_insert --- insert next char as is (backquote
key)
Esc s
Center line.
Esc u
Upcase word.
Esc d
Downcase word.
Esc c
Capitalize word.
Esc x
Get M-x minibuffer prompt with command completion
Ctrl-X Ctrl-B
pop up a list of buffers
Ctrl-X Ctrl-C
exit JED
Ctrl-X 0
Delete Current Window
Ctrl-X 1
One Window.
Ctrl-X 2
Split Window.
Ctrl-X o
Other window.
Ctrl-X b

Ctrl-X k
kill buffer
Ctrl-X s
save some buffers
Ctrl-X Esc
Get "S-Lang>" prompt for interface to the S-Lang
interpreter.
Esc .

Ctrl-@
Set Mark (Begin defining a region). Used with a
prefix argument aborts the act of defining the
region and pops the Mark.
