insert 'control a' into a text in acme

Hello,

please, how does one insert a ^A character when writing a text in (p9p) acme?
In vi(m) one uses ^V^A...

Thank you!

acme doesn't know the difference between <compose>X001 and <ctl>a,
so you're going to have to sneak by the keyboard tricks and cut and paste.

i'd use "unicode 0x1".  then cut&paste.

execute: unicode 10
and copy the output to where you need.

Re: insert 'control a' into a text in acme

or execute "<unicode 10" from the tag.

(off-topic)  I see emacs more as a Lisp environment than an editor as sam o vi.

for the mercurial users

plumb mercurial 12-hexdigit hash from directory inside mercurial repository.

type is text
data matches '[a-zA-Z0-9¡-�_\-./]+'
data matches '[0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f]'
plumb start rc -c 'cd '''$wdir'''; root=`{hg root}; rev='''$0'''; {hg
log -v -r $rev && hg diff -c $rev} >[2=1] | nobs | plumb -i -d edit -a
''action=showdata filename=''$root/+$rev'

(The first data matches line is the usual one, in case email mangles
the Unicode.)

Yeah, it's almost a successor to Lisp machines (except it's a not a
good lisp, I'm told). I call it a desktop environment, myself. :) Acme
has been called Plan 9's emacs and I can't entirely disagree.

I'll agree to the hate part. TBH I hated the word "snarf" the moment I 
encountered it, but I didn't have to think at all to see how it fitted
and my hate was quickly left behind. Then again, perhaps this quote
would have been a more appropriate thing to post when snarf came up,
rather than my ramblings.
