# jed-script(1) - man - phpman [JED(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/JED/1/markdown) User Manuals [JED(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/JED/1/markdown) ## NAME Jed - programmers editor ## SYNOPSIS ### jed --version ### jed-script --version ### xjed --version **jed** **[--secure]** **[--batch|--script|--help]** **[options]** _file_ **...** **jed-script** **[--secure]** _script_ _file_ **[script** **options]** **...** **xjed** **[--secure]** **[X** **options]** **[--batch|--script|--help]** **[options]** _file_ **...** ## DESCRIPTION ### Jed - programmers editor Features: Color syntax _highlighting._ Emulation of **Emacs,** **EDT,** **Wordstar,** and Brief editors. Extensible in a language resembling C. Completely customizable. Editing TeX files with AUC-TeX style editing (BiBTeX support too). Folding support, and much more... For complete documentation, see GNU info files, this manual only provides brief tutorial. ## OPTIONS ### major options _--version_ prints the version and compiletime variables. _--help_ prints usage information. _--secure_ runs Jed in secure mode, e.g. you can't run any external commands with _system()_ or _run_shell_cmd()._ _--batch_ run Jed in batch mode. This is a non-interactive mode. _--script_ this is a mode like _--batch_ but jed does not eval the startup files. It behaves like _slsh._ You must give the file that should be evaluated as second argument. It's the same as calling **jed-script.** ### minor options _-n_ do not load _.jedrc_ file. _-a_ _'file'_ load _file_ as user configuration file instead of .jedrc. _-e_ Set emulation mode. The default in Debian is 'emacs'. Other valid options are 'vi', 'cua', 'ide'. _+_ _'n'_ goto line _n_ in buffer (notice that in order to this option to take effect, if must ap‐ pear before the file name in the command line, like 'jed +3 file') _-g_ _'n'_ goto line _n_ in buffer (notice that in order to this option to take effect, if must ap‐ pear after the file name in the command line, like 'jed file -g 3') _-l_ _'file'_ load _file_ as S-Lang code. _-f_ _'function'_ execute S-Lang function named _function_ _-s_ _'string'_ search forward for _string_ _-2_ split window _-i_ _'file'_ insert _file_ into current buffer. ### X options **xjed** accepts the common options like _-display,_ _-name,_ _-fn_ _and_ _-geometry._ Additionally it ac‐ cepts _-facesize_ _SIZE,_ _-fs_ _SIZE_ if build with XRENDERFONT support, selects the font size _SIZE._ Use it with the option _-fn_ to select a scalable font. _-foreground_ _COLOR,_ _-fg_ _COLOR_ sets the foreground color. _-background_ _COLOR,_ _-bg_ _COLOR_ sets the background color. _-fgMouse_ _COLOR,_ _-mfg_ _COLOR_ sets the foreground color of the mouse pointer. _-bgMouse_ _COLOR,_ _-mbg_ _COLOR_ sets the background color of the mouse pointer. _-Iconic,_ _-ic_ start iconified. _-title_ _NAME_ sets the window title to _NAME._ For more options look at **xterm.c.** ## CONFIGURATION _Emulating_ _Other_ _Editors_ JED's ability to create new functions using the _S-Lang_ programming language as well as allow‐ ing the user to choose key bindings, makes the emulation of other editors possible. Cur‐ rently, JED provides reasonable emulation of the _Emacs,_ _EDT,_ _and_ _Wordstar_ editors. _Emacs_ _Emulation_ _Emacs_ _Emulation_ is provided by the S-Lang code in _emacs.sl._ The basic functionality of Emacs is emulated; most Emacs users should have no problem with JED. To enable Emacs emulation in JED, make sure that the line: _()_ _=_ _evalfile_ _("emacs");_ is in your _jed.rc_ (.jedrc) startup file. JED is distributed with this line already present in the default jed.rc file. _EDT_ _Emulation_ For _EDT_ emulation, _edt.sl_ must be loaded. This is accomplished by ensuring that the line: _()_ _=_ _evalfile_ _("edt");_ is in present in the jed.rc (.jedrc) Startup File. _Wordstar_ _Emulation_ wordstar.sl contains the S-Lang code for JED's Wordstar emulation. Adding the line _()_ _=_ _evalfile_ _("wordstar");_ to your jed.rc (.jedrc) startup file will enable JED's Wordstar emulation. ## RUN TIME _Status_ _line_ _and_ _Windows_ _JED_ supports multiple windows. Each window may contain the same buffer or different buffers. A status line is displayed immediately below each window. The status line contains informa‐ tion such as the JED version number, the buffer name, _mode,_ etc. Please beware of the fol‐ lowing indicators: _**_ buffer has been modified since last save. _%%_ buffer is read only. _m_ Mark set indicator. This means a region is being defined. _d_ File changed on disk indicator. This indicates that the file associated with the buf‐ fer is newer than the buffer itself. _s_ spot pushed indicator. _+_ Undo is enabled for the buffer. _[Narrow]_ Buffer is narrowed to a region of LINES. _[Macro]_ A macro is being defined. _Mini-Buffer._ The _Mini-Buffer_ consists of a single line located at the bottom of the screen. Much of the dialog between the user and JED takes place in this buffer. For example, when you search for a string, JED will prompt you for the string in the Mini-Buffer. The _Mini-Buffer_ also provides a direct link to the S-Lang interpreter. To access the inter‐ preter, press _Ctrl-X_ _Esc_ and the _S-Lang>_ prompt will appear in the Mini-Buffer. Enter any valid S-Lang expression for evaluation by the interpreter. It is possible to recall data previously entered into the _Mini-Buffer_ by using the up and down arrow keys. This makes it possible to use and edit previous expressions in a convenient and efficient manner. _Basic_ _Editing_ _Editing_ _with_ _JED_ is pretty easy - most keys simply insert themselves. Movement around the buffer is usually done using the _arrow_ _keys_ _or_ _page_ _up_ _and_ _page_ _down_ _keys._ If _edt.sl_ is loaded, the keypads on VTxxx terminals function as well. Here, only the highlights are touched upon (cut/paste operations are not considered `highlights'). In the following, any character prefixed by the _^_ character denotes a Control character. On keyboards without an explicit Escape key, _Ctrl-[_ will most likely generate and Escape character. A _prefix_ _argument_ to a command may be generated by first hitting the _Esc_ key, then entering the number followed by pressing the desired key. Normally, the prefix argument is used sim‐ ply for repetition. For example, to move to the right 40 characters, one would press _Esc_ _4_ _0_ followed immediately by the right arrow key. This illustrates the use of the repeat argument for repetition. However, the prefix argument may be used in other ways as well. For exam‐ ple, to begin defining a region, one would press the _Ctrl-@_ key. This sets the mark and be‐ gins highlighting. Pressing the _Ctrl-@_ key with a prefix argument will abort the act of defining the region and to pop the mark. The following list of useful keybindings assumes that _emacs.sl_ has been loaded. _Ctrl-L_ Redraw screen. _Ctrl-__ Undo (Control-underscore, also Ctrl-X u'). _Esc_ _q_ Reformat paragraph (wrap mode). Used with a prefix argument. will justify the para‐ graph as well. _Esc_ _n_ narrow paragraph (wrap mode). Used with a prefix argument will justify the paragraph as well. _Esc_ _;_ Make Language comment (Fortran and C) _Esc_ _\_ Trim whitespace around point _Esc_ _!_ Execute shell command _Esc_ _$_ Ispell word _Ctrl-X_ _?_ Show line/column information. _`_ quoted_insert --- insert next char as is (backquote key) _Esc_ _s_ Center line. _Esc_ _u_ Upcase word. _Esc_ _d_ Downcase word. _Esc_ _c_ Capitalize word. _Esc_ _x_ Get M-x minibuffer prompt with command completion _Ctrl-X_ _Ctrl-B_ pop up a list of buffers _Ctrl-X_ _Ctrl-C_ exit JED _Ctrl-X_ _0_ Delete Current Window _Ctrl-X_ _1_ One Window. _Ctrl-X_ _2_ Split Window. _Ctrl-X_ _o_ Other window. _Ctrl-X_ _b_ switch to buffer _Ctrl-X_ _k_ kill buffer _Ctrl-X_ _s_ save some buffers _Ctrl-X_ _Esc_ Get "S-Lang>" prompt for interface to the S-Lang interpreter. _Esc_ _._ Find tag _Ctrl-@_ Set Mark (Begin defining a region). Used with a prefix argument aborts the act of defining the region and pops the Mark. ## FILES _JED_ROOT/lib/*.sl_ these are the default runtime jed slang files (packages like jed-extra can define ad‐ ditional slang library directories) _JED_ROOT/lib/site.sl_ This is the default startup file. _/etc/jed.d/*.sl_ The system wide configuration files (this is a special Debian feature). _~/.jedrc_ Per user configuration file, or _~/.jed/jed.rc_ per user configuration file if the Jed_Home_Directory _~/.jed/_ exists. ## AUTHOR _John_ _E._ _Davis_ _<>_ Jed's Author --- This document was _translated_ to nroff by "Boris D.
