49 ;; %% Introduction
|
|
50
|
|
51 ;; TPU-edt is based on tpu.el by Jeff Kowalski. TPU-edt endeavors
|
|
52 ;; to be even more like TPU's EDT emulation than the original tpu.el.
|
|
53 ;; Considerable effort has been expended to that end. Still, emacs
|
|
54 ;; is emacs and there are differences between TPU-edt and the real
|
|
55 ;; thing. Please read the "Differences Between TPU-edt and the Real
|
|
56 ;; Thing" and "Starting TPU-edt" sections before running TPU-edt.
|
|
57
|
|
58
|
|
59 ;; %% Terminal Support
|
|
60
|
|
61 ;; TPU-edt, like it's VMS cousin, works on VT-series terminals with
|
|
62 ;; DEC style keyboards. VT terminal emulators, including xterm with
|
|
63 ;; the appropriate key translations, work just fine too.
|
|
64
|
|
65
|
|
66 ;; %% X-windows Support
|
|
67
|
|
68 ;; Starting with version 19 of emacs, TPU-edt works with X-windows.
|
|
69 ;; This is accomplished through a TPU-edt X keymap. The emacs lisp
|
|
70 ;; program tpu-mapper.el creates this map and stores it in a file.
|
|
71 ;; Tpu-mapper will be run automatically the first time you invoke
|
|
72 ;; the X-windows version of emacs, or you can run it by hand. See
|
|
73 ;; the commentary in tpu-mapper.el for details.
|
|
74
|
|
75
|
|
76 ;; %% Differences Between TPU-edt and the Real Thing (not Coke (r))
|
|
77
|
|
78 ;; Emacs (version 18.58) doesn't support text highlighting, so selected
|
|
79 ;; regions are not shown in inverse video. Emacs uses the concept of
|
|
80 ;; "the mark". The mark is set at one end of a selected region; the
|
|
81 ;; cursor is at the other. The letter "M" appears in the mode line
|
|
82 ;; when the mark is set. The native emacs command ^X^X (Control-X
|
|
83 ;; twice) exchanges the cursor with the mark; this provides a handy
|
|
84 ;; way to find the location of the mark.
|
|
85
|
|
86 ;; In TPU the cursor can be either bound or free. Bound means the
|
|
87 ;; cursor cannot wander outside the text of the file being edited.
|
|
88 ;; Free means the arrow keys can move the cursor past the ends of
|
|
89 ;; lines. Free is the default mode in TPU; bound is the only mode
|
|
90 ;; in EDT. Bound is the only mode in the base version of TPU-edt;
|
|
91 ;; optional extensions add an approximation of free mode.
|
|
92
|
|
93 ;; Like TPU, emacs uses multiple buffers. Some buffers are used to
|
|
94 ;; hold files you are editing; other "internal" buffers are used for
|
|
95 ;; emacs' own purposes (like showing you help). Here are some commands
|
|
96 ;; for dealing with buffers.
|
|
97
|
|
98 ;; Gold-B moves to next buffer, including internal buffers
|
|
99 ;; Gold-N moves to next buffer containing a file
|
|
100 ;; Gold-M brings up a buffer menu (like TPU "show buffers")
|
|
101
|
|
102 ;; Emacs is very fond of throwing up new windows. Dealing with all
|
|
103 ;; these windows can be a little confusing at first, so here are a few
|
|
104 ;; commands to that may help:
|
|
105
|
|
106 ;; Gold-Next_Scr moves to the next window on the screen
|
|
107 ;; Gold-Prev_Scr moves to the previous window on the screen
|
|
108 ;; Gold-TAB also moves to the next window on the screen
|
|
109
|
|
110 ;; Control-x 1 deletes all but the current window
|
|
111 ;; Control-x 0 deletes the current window
|
|
112
|
|
113 ;; Note that the buffers associated with deleted windows still exist!
|
|
114
|
|
115 ;; Like TPU, TPU-edt has a "command" function, invoked with Gold-KP7 or
|
|
116 ;; Do. Most of the commands available are emacs commands. Some TPU
|
|
117 ;; commands are available, they are: replace, exit, quit, include, and
|
|
118 ;; Get (unfortunately, "get" is an internal emacs function, so we are
|
|
119 ;; stuck with "Get" - to make life easier, Get is available as Gold-g).
|
|
120
|
|
121 ;; Support for recall of commands, file names, and search strings was
|
|
122 ;; added to emacs in version 19. For version 18 of emacs, optional
|
|
123 ;; extensions are available to add this recall capability (see "Optional
|
|
124 ;; TPU-edt Extensions" below). The history of strings recalled in both
|
|
125 ;; versions of emacs differs slightly from TPU/edt, but it is still very
|
|
126 ;; convenient.
|
|
127
|
|
128 ;; Help is available! The traditional help keys (Help and PF2) display
|
|
129 ;; a three page help file showing the default keypad layout, control key
|
|
130 ;; functions, and Gold key functions. Pressing any key inside of help
|
|
131 ;; splits the screen and prints a description of the function of the
|
|
132 ;; pressed key. Gold-PF2 invokes the native emacs help, with it's
|
|
133 ;; zillions of options. Gold-Help shows all the current key bindings.
|
|
134
|
|
135 ;; Thanks to emacs, TPU-edt has some extensions that may make your life
|
|
136 ;; easier, or at least more interesting. For example, Gold-r toggles
|
|
137 ;; TPU-edt rectangular mode. In rectangular mode, Remove and Insert work
|
|
138 ;; on rectangles. Likewise, Gold-* toggles TPU-edt regular expression
|
|
139 ;; mode. In regular expression mode Find, Find Next, and the line-mode
|
|
140 ;; replace command work with regular expressions. [A regular expression
|
|
141 ;; is a pattern that denotes a set of strings; like VMS wildcards.]
|
|
142
|
|
143 ;; Emacs also gives TPU-edt the undo and occur functions. Undo does
|
|
144 ;; what it says; it undoes the last change. Multiple undos in a row
|
|
145 ;; undo multiple changes. For your convenience, undo is available on
|
|
146 ;; Gold-u. Occur shows all the lines containing a specific string in
|
|
147 ;; another window. Moving to that window, and typing ^C^C (Control-C
|
|
148 ;; twice) on a particular line moves you back to the original window
|
|
149 ;; at that line. Occur is on Gold-o.
|
|
150
|
|
151 ;; Finally, as you edit, remember that all the power of emacs is at
|
|
152 ;; your disposal. It really is a fantastic tool. You may even want to
|
|
153 ;; take some time and read the emacs tutorial; perhaps not to learn the
|
|
154 ;; native emacs key bindings, but to get a feel for all the things
|
|
155 ;; emacs can do for you. The emacs tutorial is available from the
|
|
156 ;; emacs help function: "Gold-PF2 t"
|
|
157
|
|
158
|
|
159 ;; %% Starting TPU-edt
|
|
160
|
|
161 ;; In order to use TPU-edt, the TPU-edt editor definitions, contained
|
|
162 ;; in tpu-edt.el, need to be loaded when emacs is run. This can be
|
|
163 ;; done in a couple of ways. The first is by explicitly requesting
|
|
164 ;; loading of the TPU-edt emacs definition file on the command line:
|
|
165
|
|
166 ;; prompt> emacs -l /path/to/definitions/tpu-edt.el
|
|
167
|
|
168 ;; If TPU-edt is installed on your system, that is, if tpu-edt.el is in
|
|
169 ;; a directory like /usr/local/emacs/lisp, along with dozens of other
|
|
170 ;; .el files, you should be able to use the command:
|
|
171
|
|
172 ;; prompt> emacs -l tpu-edt
|
|
173
|
|
174 ;; If you like TPU-edt and want to use it all the time, you can load
|
|
175 ;; the TPU-edt definitions using the emacs initialization file, .emacs.
|
|
176 ;; Simply create a .emacs file in your home directory containing the
|
|
177 ;; line:
|
|
178
|
|
179 ;; (load "/path/to/definitions/tpu-edt")
|
|
180
|
|
181 ;; or, if (as above) TPU-edt is installed on your system:
|
|
182
|
|
183 ;; (load "tpu-edt")
|
|
184
|
|
185 ;; Once TPU-edt has been loaded, you will be using an editor with the
|
|
186 ;; interface shown in the next section (A section that is suitable for
|
|
187 ;; cutting out of this document and pasting next to your terminal!).

256 ;; Several optional packages have been included in this distribution

257 ;; of TPU-edt. The following is a brief description of each package.
|

258 ;; See the {package}.el file for more detailed information and usage

264
|
|
265 ;; Packages are normally loaded from the emacs initialization file
|
|
266 ;; (discussed below). If a package is not installed in the emacs
|
|
267 ;; lisp directory, it can be loaded by specifying the complete path
|
|
268 ;; to the package file. However, it is preferable to modify the
|
|
269 ;; emacs load-path variable to include the directory where packages
|
|
270 ;; are stored. This way, packages can be loaded by name, just as if
|
|
271 ;; they were installed. The first part of the sample .emacs file

390 ;; Astute emacs hackers will realize that on systems where TPU-edt is
|
|
391 ;; installed, this documentation file can be loaded to produce the above
|
|
392 ;; editing keypad layout. In fact, to get all the changes in the sample
|
|
393 ;; initialization file, you only need a one line initialization file:
|
|
394
|
|
395 ;; (load "tpu-doc")
|
|
396
|
|
397 ;; wow!

|
400 ;; %% Compiling TPU-edt
|
|
401
|
|
402 ;; It is not necessary to compile (byte-compile in emacs parlance)
|
|
403 ;; TPU-edt to use it. However, byte-compiled code loads and runs
|
|
404 ;; faster, and takes up less memory when loaded. To byte compile
|
|
405 ;; TPU-edt, use the following command.
|
|
406
|
|
407 ;; emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile tpu-edt.el
|
|
408
|
|
409 ;; This will produce a file named tpu-edt.elc. This new file can be
|
|
410 ;; used in place of the original tpu-edt.el file. In commands where
|
|
411 ;; the file type is not specified, emacs always attempts to use the
|
|
412 ;; byte-compiled version before resorting to the source.
|
|
413
|
|
414
|
|
415 ;; %% Regular expressions in TPU-edt
|
|
416
|
|
417 ;; Gold-* toggles TPU-edt regular expression mode. In regular expression
|
|
418 ;; mode, find, find next, replace, and substitute accept emacs regular
|
|
419 ;; expressions. A complete list of emacs regular expressions can be
|
|
420 ;; found using the emacs "info" command (it's somewhat like the VMS help
|
|
421 ;; command). Try the following sequence of commands:
|
|
422
|
|
423 ;; DO info <enter info mode>
|
|
424 ;; m regex <select the "regular expression" topic>
|
|
425 ;; m directives <select the "directives" topic>
|
|
426
|
|
427 ;; Type "q" to quit out of info mode.
|
|
428
|
|
429 ;; There is a problem in regular expression mode when searching for
|
|
430 ;; empty strings, like beginning-of-line (^) and end-of-line ($).
|
|
431 ;; When searching for these strings, find-next may find the current
|
|
432 ;; string, instead of the next one. This can cause global replace and
|
|
433 ;; substitute commands to loop forever in the same location. For this
|
|
434 ;; reason, commands like
|
|
435
|
|
436 ;; replace "^" "> " <add "> " to beginning of line>
|
|
437 ;; replace "$" "00711" <add "00711" to end of line>
|
|
438
|
|
439 ;; may not work properly.
|
|
440
|
|
441 ;; Commands like those above are very useful for adding text to the
|
|
442 ;; beginning or end of lines. They might work on a line-by-line basis,
|
|
443 ;; but go into an infinite loop if the "all" response is specified. If
|
|
444 ;; the goal is to add a string to the beginning or end of a particular
|
|
445 ;; set of lines TPU-edt provides functions to do this.
|
|
446
|
|
447 ;; Gold-^ Add a string at BOL in region or buffer
|
|
448 ;; Gold-$ Add a string at EOL in region or buffer
|
|
449
|
|
450 ;; There is also a TPU-edt interface to the native emacs string
|
|
451 ;; replacement commands. Gold-/ invokes this command. It accepts
|
|
452 ;; regular expressions if TPU-edt is in regular expression mode. Given
|
|
453 ;; a repeat count, it will perform the replacement without prompting
|
|
454 ;; for confirmation.
|
|
455
|
|
456 ;; This command replaces empty strings correctly, however, it has its
|
|
457 ;; drawbacks. As a native emacs command, it has a different interface
|
|
458 ;; than the emulated TPU commands. Also, it works only in the forward
|
|
459 ;; direction, regardless of the current TPU-edt direction.
