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!). | |

254 ;; %% Optional TPU-edt Extensions | |
255 | |
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 | |
259 ;; instructions. | |
260 | |
261 ;; tpu-extras - TPU/edt scroll margins and free cursor mode. | |
262 ;; tpu-recall - String, file name, and command history. | |
263 ;; vt-control - VTxxx terminal width and keypad controls. | |
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 | |
272 ;; below shows how to make such a modification. | |
273 | |
274 | |
275 ;; %% Customizing TPU-edt using the Emacs Initialization File | |
276 | |
277 ;; .emacs - a sample emacs initialization file | |
278 | |
279 ;; This is a sample emacs initialization file. It shows how to invoke | |
280 ;; TPU-edt, and how to customize it. | |
281 | |
282 ;; The load-path is where emacs looks for files to fulfill load requests. | |
283 ;; If TPU-edt is not installed in a standard emacs directory, the load-path | |
284 ;; should be updated to include the directory where the TPU-edt files are | |
285 ;; stored. Modify and un-comment the following section if TPU-ed is not | |
286 ;; installed on your system - be sure to leave the double quotes! | |
287 | |
288 ;; (setq load-path | |
289 ;; (append (list (expand-file-name "/path/to/tpu-edt/files")) | |
290 ;; load-path)) | |

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. | |

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. | |
