25852 | 1 .TH EMACSTOOL 1 |
2 .SH NAME | |
3 .I emacstool | |
4 \- run emacs under Sun windows with function-key and mouse support. | |
5 .SH SYNOPSIS | |
6 .I emacstool | |
7 [{window_args} {-rc run_command_path} args ... ] | |
8 .SH TYPICAL USAGE | |
9 In ~/.suntools or ~/.rootmenu include a line like this: | |
10 .br | |
11 "Emacstool" emacstool -WI emacs.icon -f emacstool-init | |
12 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
13 .B Emacstool | |
14 creates a SunView frame and a tty subwindow within which mouse events | |
15 and function keys are translated to ASCII sequences which Emacs can | |
16 parse. The translated input events are sent to the process running in | |
17 the tty subwindow, which is typically GNU Emacs. Emacstool thereby | |
18 allows GNU Emacs users to make full use of the mouse and function keys. | |
19 GNU Emacs can be loaded with functions to interpret the mouse and | |
20 function-key events to make a truly fine screen oriented editor for | |
21 the Sun Workstation. | |
22 .PP | |
23 (Note that GNU Emacs has a special interface to the X window system as | |
24 well. The X window system has many technical advantages, it is an | |
25 industry standard, and it is also free software. The Free Software | |
26 Foundation urges you to try X windows, and distributes a free copy of | |
27 X on Emacs distribution tapes.) | |
28 .PP | |
29 Function keys are translated to a sequence of the form | |
30 `^X*[a-o][lrt]'. The last character is `l', `r', or `t' corresponding | |
31 to whether the key is among the Left, Right, or Top function keys. | |
32 The third character indicates which button of the group | |
33 was pressed. Thus, the function key in the lower right corner will | |
34 transmit the sequence `^X*or'. In addition, the [lrt] is affected by | |
35 the Control, Meta, and Shift keys. Unshifted Control keys will be | |
36 non-alphabetic: C-l is [,], C-r is [2], C-t is [4]. | |
37 .PP | |
38 Mouse buttons are encoded as `^X^@([124] x y)\\n'. ^X^@ is the | |
39 standard GNU Emacs mouse event prefix, it is followed by a list | |
40 indicating the button pressed and the character row and column of the | |
41 point in the window where the mouse cursor is, and followed by a | |
42 newline character. In GNU Emacs, the ^X^@ dispatches to a | |
43 mouse event handler which then reads the following list. | |
44 .SH OPTIONS | |
45 .B Emacstool | |
46 supports all the standard window arguments, including font and icon | |
47 specifiers. | |
48 .PP | |
49 By default, Emacstool runs the program | |
50 .I emacs | |
51 in the created subwindow. | |
52 The value of the environment variable | |
53 .I EMACSTOOL | |
54 can be used to override this if your version of | |
55 .B Emacs | |
56 is not accessible on your search path by the name | |
57 .I Emacs. | |
58 In addition, the run command can be set by the | |
59 .I pathname | |
60 following the last occurrence of the | |
61 .I \-rc | |
62 flag. | |
63 This is convenient for using Emacstool to run on remote machines. | |
64 .PP | |
65 All other command line arguments not used by the window system are passed | |
66 as arguments to the program that runs in the Emacstool window. | |
67 .PP | |
68 For example: | |
69 .PP | |
70 local% (emacstool -rc rlogin remote -8 &)& | |
71 .PP | |
72 will create an Emacstool window logged in to a machine named | |
73 .I remote. | |
74 If Emacs is run from this window, | |
75 Emacstool will encode mouse and function keys, and send them to rlogin. | |
76 If Emacs is run from this shell on the remote machine, it will see | |
77 the mouse and function keys properly. | |
78 However, since the remote host does not have access to the screen, | |
79 the cursor cannot be changed, menus will not appear, and the selection | |
80 buffer (STUFF) is limited. | |
81 .SH Using With GNU Emacs: | |
82 The GNU Emacs files | |
83 lisp/term/sun.el, | |
84 lisp/sun-mouse.el, | |
85 lisp/sun-fns.el, | |
86 and | |
87 src/sunfns.c | |
88 provide emacs support for the Emacstool and function keys. | |
89 Emacstool will automatically set the TERM environment variable to be "sun" | |
90 and unset the environment variable TERMCAP. That is, these variables will | |
91 not be inherited from the shell that starts Emacstool. | |
92 Since the terminal type is | |
93 .I SUN | |
94 (that is, the environment variable TERM is set to | |
95 .I SUN), | |
96 Emacs will automatically load the file lisp/term/sun. | |
97 This, in turn, will ensure that sun-mouse.el is autoloaded when any mouse | |
98 events are detected. It is suggested that | |
99 .I sun-mouse | |
100 and | |
101 .I sun-fns | |
102 be loaded in your site-init.el file, so that they will always be loaded | |
103 when running on a Sun workstation. | |
104 .PP | |
105 In addition, Emacstool sets the environment variable IN_EMACSTOOL = "t". | |
106 Lisp code in your ~/.emacs can use (getenv "IN_EMACSTOOL") | |
107 to determine whether to do Emacstool specific initialization. | |
108 Sun.el uses this to automatically call emacstool-init (getenv "IN_EMACSTOOL") | |
109 is defined. | |
110 .PP | |
111 The file src/sunfns.c defines several useful functions for emacs on | |
112 the Sun. Among these are procedures to pop-up SunView | |
113 .I menus, | |
114 put and get from the SunView | |
115 .I STUFF | |
116 buffer, and a procedure for changing the cursor | |
117 .I icon. | |
118 If you want to define or edit cursor icons, | |
119 there is a rudimentary mouse driven icon editor in the file | |
120 lisp/sun-cursors.el. Try invoking (sc:edit-cursor) | |
121 .SH BUGS | |
122 It takes a few milliseconds to create a menu before it pops up. | |
