|
;; %% Introduction
|
|
|
|
;; TPU-edt is based on tpu.el by Jeff Kowalski and Bob Covey. 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!).

;; %% Optional TPU-edt Extensions
|
|
|
|
;; Several optional packages have been included in this distribution
|
|
;; of TPU-edt. 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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
;; stored. Modify and un-comment the following section if TPU-ed is not

|
;; %% 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 <enter info mode>
|
|
;; m regex <select the "regular expression" topic>
|
|
;; m directives <select the "directives" topic>
|
|
|
|
;; 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 ($).
|
|
;; When searching for these strings, find-next may find the current
|
|
;; string, instead of the next one. This can cause global replace and
|
|
;; substitute commands to loop forever in the same location. For this
|
|
;; reason, commands like
|
|
|
|
;; replace "^" "> " <add "> " to beginning of line>
|
|
;; replace "$" "00711" <add "00711" to end of line>
|
|
|
|
;; 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.
