Re: Using a "saved" macro

I suppose it is code (macro.sl) that has not been finished yet.

I asked this question some time ago I got some hints, so that I have now a
function store_macro() which assigns the current macro to a key and saves
it to $HOME/.jed/macros.sl which itself get loaded at jed startup.

What still is missing is list_macros() and delete_macro().

No. templates.sl from jedmodes.sf.net has this already and a lot more:

   replacements["<REALNAME>"] = extract_element(get_realname(), 0, ',');
   replacements["<USERNAME>"] = get_username();
   replacements["<EMAIL>"]    = get_emailaddress();
   replacements["<DATE>"]     = get_iso_date();
   replacements["<FILENAME>"] = path_basename(buffer_filename);
   replacements["<FILENAME_SANS>"] =
     path_sans_extname(replacements["<FILENAME>"]);

   % for compatibility with Mikael Hultgren's template.sl
   replacements[" <at> author <at> "] = replacements["<REALNAME>"];
   replacements[" <at> mail <at> "] = replacements["<EMAIL>"];
   replacements[" <at> filename <at> "] = replacements["<FILENAME>"];
   replacements[" <at> filename_sans <at> "] = replacements["<FILENAME_SANS>"];

You should be able to use templates.sl in any Jed installation on any OS.
The advantage of Debian is that with jed-extra it works out of the box.

Thank you very much. That's far more than what I had wished for. Somebody 
already pointed me to that mode, but it was fun, and instructive, to see 
how one could reinvent the wheel.

Re: Configuration problem

I just got burned by this on a new Ubuntu box today.  Really kind of an
obnoxious change for the debian folks to make without updating the
documentation to match.  It really shouldn't require 45+ minutes of
sleuthing through site.sl  and such to figure out that there was an
overriding defaults.sl that was loading files from /etc/jed.d/ that was
preventing my ~/.jedrc from loading because I had a ~/.jed directory.

OBTW - If the debian package maintainer is around, installing jed-extras 
breaks the info reader.  Looks like the drop-in replacement for info.sl
isn't really, it barks (and righteously so): "Unable to load
/usr/share/jed/jed-extra/pcre.slc"

Can you be a bit more specific? You have a new Ubuntu box and created both,
~/.jedrc and ~/.jed ? I thought this was a rather uncommon setup.

Did you find the documentation in /usr/share/doc/jed/?

NEWS.Debian.gz          % I admit that this is silent on this point 
README.Debian-startup   % explains the Debian-specific startup scheme
README.Debian.gz	% Contains an appropriate warning
changelog.Debian.gz	% lists the change as well

Agreed. But IMO the Debian README files are the right place for this
kind of info.

Not here.

I fully agree with you but as far as I'm concerned I'm fine with just 
having solved the issue!

In my case, as a *user*, I just tend to copy the files in my home from one 
account to another. In this case, I didn't even do so: the admins just 
changed the underlying OS: users' homes are mounted via nfs. It is 
obnoxious that my favourite editor just "stopped working" upon such a 
change, given the the OS is of "the same breed" after all...

The attached version of /etc/jed.d/05jed-common.sl should fix this issue and
provide backwards compatibility.

Jörg, could we apply this fix to jed-common and adapt the documentation?

Günter

% debian 05jed-common.sl              -*- slang -*-

% make delete key delete the character under the cursor
% (section 10.8 of the Debian Policy)
#ifdef XWINDOWS
x_set_keysym (0xFFFF, 0, "\e[3~");
#endif
setkey ("delete_char_cmd", "\e[3~");

% Fallback emulation (if the user has no ~/.jedrc config file)
%
% Possible values are "brief", "cua", "emacs", "edt", "ide", "jed",
% "wordstar", and (with jed-extra) "vi".
%_Jed_Default_Emulation = "emacs";  % already set in site.sl

Which document do you talk about?

You can use jed -batch to see what gets loaded.

Bye, Jörg.
