TPU-edt ;; endeavors to be even more like TPU's EDT emulation than the original ;; tpu.el. Considerable effort has been expended to that end. Still, ;; emacs is emacs and there are differences between TPU-edt and the ;; real thing. Please read the "Differences Between TPU-edt and the ;; Real Thing" and "Starting TPU-edt" sections before running TPU-edt. ;; %% Terminal Support ;; TPU-edt, like it's VMS cousin, works on VT-series terminals with ;; DEC style keyboards. VT terminal emulators, including xterm with ;; the appropriate key translations, work just fine too. ;; %% X-windows Support ;; Starting with version 19 of emacs, TPU-edt works with X-windows. ;; This is accomplished through a TPU-edt X keymap. The emacs lisp ;; program tpu-mapper.el creates this map and stores it in a file. ;; Tpu-mapper will be run automatically the first time you invoke ;; the X-windows version of emacs, or you can run it by hand. See ;; the commentary in tpu-mapper.el for details. ;; %% Differences Between TPU-edt and the Real Thing (not Coke (r)) ;; Emacs (version 18.58) doesn't support text highlighting, so selected ;; regions are not shown in inverse video. Emacs uses the concept of ;; "the mark". The mark is set at one end of a selected region; the ;; cursor is at the other. The letter "M" appears in the mode line ;; when the mark is set. The native emacs command ^X^X (Control-X ;; twice) exchanges the cursor with the mark; this provides a handy ;; way to find the location of the mark. ;; In TPU the cursor can be either bound or free. Bound means the ;; cursor cannot wander outside the text of the file being edited. ;; Free means the arrow keys can move the cursor past the ends of ;; lines. Free is the default mode in TPU; bound is the only mode ;; in EDT. Bound is the only mode in the base version of TPU-edt; ;; optional extensions add an approximation of free mode. ;; Like TPU, emacs uses multiple buffers. Some buffers are used to ;; hold files you are editing; other "internal" buffers are used for ;; emacs' own purposes (like showing you help). Here are some commands ;; for dealing with buffers. ;; Gold-B moves to next buffer, including internal buffers ;; Gold-N moves to next buffer containing a file ;; Gold-M brings up a buffer menu (like TPU "show buffers") ;; Emacs is very fond of throwing up new windows. Dealing with all ;; these windows can be a little confusing at first, so here are a few ;; commands to that may help: ;; Gold-Next_Scr moves to the next window on the screen ;; Gold-Prev_Scr moves to the previous window on the screen ;; Gold-TAB also moves to the next window on the screen ;; Control-x 1 deletes all but the current window ;; Control-x 0 deletes the current window ;; Note that the buffers associated with deleted windows still exist! ;; Like TPU, TPU-edt has a "command" function, invoked with Gold-KP7 or ;; Do. Most of the commands available are emacs commands. Some TPU ;; commands are available, they are: replace, exit, quit, include, and ;; Get (unfortunately, "get" is an internal emacs function, so we are ;; stuck with "Get" - to make life easier, Get is available as Gold-g). ;; Support for recall of commands, file names, and search strings was ;; added to emacs in version 19. For version 18 of emacs, optional ;; extensions are available to add this recall capability (see "Optional ;; TPU-edt Extensions" below). The history of strings recalled in both ;; versions of emacs differs slightly from TPU/edt, but it is still very ;; convenient. ;; Help is available! The traditional help keys (Help and PF2) display ;; a three page help file showing the default keypad layout, control key ;; functions, and Gold key functions. Pressing any key inside of help ;; splits the screen and prints a description of the function of the ;; pressed key. Gold-PF2 invokes the native emacs help, with it's ;; zillions of options. Gold-Help shows all the current key bindings. ;; Thanks to emacs, TPU-edt has some extensions that may make your life ;; easier, or at least more interesting. For example, Gold-r toggles ;; TPU-edt rectangular mode. In rectangular mode, Remove and Insert work ;; on rectangles. Likewise, Gold-* toggles TPU-edt regular expression ;; mode. In regular expression mode Find, Find Next, and the line-mode ;; replace command work with regular expressions. [A regular expression ;; is a pattern that denotes a set of strings; like VMS wildcards.] ;; Emacs also gives TPU-edt the undo and occur functions. Undo does ;; what it says; it undoes the last change. Multiple undos in a row ;; undo multiple changes. For your convenience, undo is available on ;; Gold-u. Occur shows all the lines containing a specific string in ;; another window. Moving to that window, and typing ^C^C (Control-C ;; twice) on a particular line moves you back to the original window ;; at that line. Occur is on Gold-o. ;; Finally, as you edit, remember that all the power of emacs is at ;; your disposal. It really is a fantastic tool. You may even want to ;; take some time and read the emacs tutorial; perhaps not to learn the ;; native emacs key bindings, but to get a feel for all the things ;; emacs can do for you. The emacs tutorial is available from the ;; emacs help function: "Gold-PF2 t" ;; %% Starting TPU-edt ;; In order to use TPU-edt, the TPU-edt editor definitions, contained ;; in tpu-edt.el, need to be loaded when emacs is run. This can be ;; done in a couple of ways. The first is by explicitly requesting ;; loading of the TPU-edt emacs definition file on the command line: ;; prompt> emacs -l /path/to/definitions/tpu-edt.el ;; If TPU-edt is installed on your system, that is, if tpu-edt.el is in ;; a directory like /usr/local/emacs/lisp, along with dozens of other ;; .el files, you should be able to use the command: ;; prompt> emacs -l tpu-edt ;; If you like TPU-edt and want to use it all the time, you can load ;; the TPU-edt definitions using the emacs initialization file, .emacs. ;; Simply create a .emacs file in your home directory containing the ;; line: ;; (load "/path/to/definitions/tpu-edt") ;; or, if (as above) TPU-edt is installed on your system: ;; (load "tpu-edt") ;; Once TPU-edt has been loaded, you will be using an editor with the ;; interface shown in the next section (A section that is suitable for ;; cutting out of this document and pasting next to your terminal!). ;; %% TPU-edt Default Editing Keypad, Control and Gold Key Bindings ;; ;; _______________________ _______________________________ ;; | HELP | Do | | | | | | ;; |KeyDefs| | | | | | | ;; |_______|_______________| |_______|_______|_______|_______| ;; _______________________ _______________________________ ;; | Find |Insert |Remove | | Gold | HELP |FndNxt | Del L | ;; | | |Sto Tex| | key |E-Help | Find |Undel L| ;; |_______|_______|_______| |_______|_______|_______|_______| ;; |Select |Pre Scr|Nex Scr| | Page | Sect |Append | Del W | ;; | Reset |Pre Win|Nex Win| | Do | Fill |Replace|Undel W| ;; |_______|_______|_______| |_______|_______|_______|_______| ;; |Move up| |Forward|Reverse|Remove | Del C | ;; | Top | |Bottom | Top |Insert |Undel C| ;; _______|_______|_______ |_______|_______|_______|_______| ;; |Mov Lef|Mov Dow|Mov Rig| | Word | EOL | Char | | ;; |StaOfLi|Bottom |EndOfLi| |ChngCas|Del EOL|SpecIns| Enter | ;; |_______|_______|_______| |_______|_______|_______| | ;; | Line |Select | Subs | ;; | Open Line | Reset | | ;; |_______________|_______|_______| ;; Control Characters ;; ;; ^A toggle insert and overwrite ^L insert page break ;; ^B recall ^R remember, re-center ;; ^E end of line ^U delete to beginning of line ;; ^G cancel current operation ^V quote ;; ^H beginning of line ^W refresh ;; ^J delete previous word ^Z exit ;; ^K learn ^X^X exchange point and mark ;; ;; ;; Gold- Functions ;; ----------------------------------------------------------------- ;; W Write - save current buffer ;; K Kill buffer - abandon edits and delete buffer ;; ;; E Exit - save current buffer and ask about others ;; X eXit - save all modified buffers and exit ;; Q Quit - exit without saving anything ;; ;; G Get - load a file into a new edit buffer ;; I Include - include a file in this buffer ;; ;; B next Buffer - display the next buffer (all buffers) ;; N Next file buffer - display next buffer containing a file ;; M buffer Menu - display a list of all buffers ;; ;; U Undo - undo the last edit ;; C Recall - edit and possibly repeat previous commands ;; ;; O Occur - show following lines containing REGEXP ;; S Search and substitute - line mode REPLACE command ;; ;; ?

The following is a brief description of each package. ;; See the {package}.el file for more detailed information and usage ;; instructions. ;; tpu-extras - TPU/edt scroll margins and free cursor mode. ;; tpu-recall - String, file name, and command history. ;; vt-control - VTxxx terminal width and keypad controls. ;; Packages are normally loaded from the emacs initialization file ;; (discussed below). If a package is not installed in the emacs ;; lisp directory, it can be loaded by specifying the complete path ;; to the package file. However, it is preferable to modify the ;; emacs load-path variable to include the directory where packages ;; are stored. This way, packages can be loaded by name, just as if ;; they were installed. The first part of the sample .emacs file ;; below shows how to make such a modification. ;; %% Customizing TPU-edt using the Emacs Initialization File ;; .emacs - a sample emacs initialization file ;; This is a sample emacs initialization file. It shows how to invoke ;; TPU-edt, and how to customize it. ;; The load-path is where emacs looks for files to fulfill load requests. ;; If TPU-edt is not installed in a standard emacs directory, the load-path ;; should be updated to include the directory where the TPU-edt files are ;; stored. Modify and un-comment the following section if TPU-ed is not ;; installed on your system - be sure to leave the double quotes! ;; (setq load-path ;; (append (list (expand-file-name "/path/to/tpu-edt/files")) ;; load-path)) ;; Load TPU-edt (load "tpu-edt") ;; Load the optional goodies - scroll margins, free cursor mode, command ;; and string recall. But don't complain if the file aren't available. (load "tpu-extras" t) (load "tpu-recall" t) ;; Uncomment this line to set scroll margins 10% (top) and 15% (bottom). ;(and (fboundp 'tpu-set-scroll-margins) (tpu-set-scroll-margins "10%" "15%")) ;; Load the vtxxx terminal control functions, but don't complain if ;; if the file is not found. (load "vt-control" t) ;; TPU-edt treats words like EDT; here's how to add word separators. ;; Note that backslash (\) and double quote (") are quoted with '\'. (tpu-add-word-separators "]\\[-_,.\"=+()'/*#:!&;$") ;; Emacs is happy to save files without a final newline; other Unix programs ;; hate that! This line will make sure that files end with newlines. (setq require-final-newline t) ;; Emacs has the ability to automatically run code embedded in files ;; you edit. This line makes emacs ask if you want to run the code.

In fact, to get all the changes in the sample ;; initialization file, you only need a one line initialization file: ;; (load "tpu-doc") ;; wow! ;; %% Compiling TPU-edt ;; It is not necessary to compile (byte-compile in emacs parlance) ;; TPU-edt to use it. However, byte-compiled code loads and runs ;; faster, and takes up less memory when loaded. To byte compile ;; TPU-edt, use the following command. ;; emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile tpu-edt.el ;; This will produce a file named tpu-edt.elc. This new file can be ;; used in place of the original tpu-edt.el file. In commands where ;; the file type is not specified, emacs always attempts to use the ;; byte-compiled version before resorting to the source. ;; %% Regular expressions in TPU-edt ;; Gold-* toggles TPU-edt regular expression mode. In regular expression ;; mode, find, find next, replace, and substitute accept emacs regular ;; expressions. A complete list of emacs regular expressions can be ;; found using the emacs "info" command (it's somewhat like the VMS help ;; command). Try the following sequence of commands: ;; DO info ;; m regex ;; Type "q" to quit out of info mode. ;; There is a problem in regular expression mode when searching for ;; empty strings, like beginning-of-line (^) and end-of-line ($). ;; When searching for these strings, find-next may find the current ;; string, instead of the next one. This can cause global replace and ;; substitute commands to loop forever in the same location. For this ;; reason, commands like ;; replace "^" "> " " to beginning of line> ;; replace "$" "00711" ;; may not work properly. ;; Commands like those above are very useful for adding text to the ;; beginning or end of lines. They might work on a line-by-line basis, ;; but go into an infinite loop if the "all" response is specified. If ;; the goal is to add a string to the beginning or end of a particular ;; set of lines TPU-edt provides functions to do this. ;; Gold-^ Add a string at BOL in region or buffer ;; Gold-$ Add a string at EOL in region or buffer ;; There is also a TPU-edt interface to the native emacs string ;; replacement commands. Gold-/ invokes this command. It accepts ;; regular expressions if TPU-edt is in regular expression mode. Given ;; a repeat count, it will perform the replacement without prompting ;; for confirmation. ;; This command replaces empty strings correctly, however, it has its ;; drawbacks. As a native emacs command, it has a different interface ;; than the emulated TPU commands. Also, it works only in the forward ;; direction, regardless of the current TPU-edt direction. ;; %% Etcetera ;; That's TPU-edt in a nutshell... ;; Please send any bug reports, feature requests, or cookies to the ;; author, Rob Riepel, at the address shown by the tpu-version command ;; (Gold-V). ;; Share and enjoy...
