ACME INTERNATIONAL COMPILED EDITORS

THEY EDIT LIKE HELL.

   No editor made, pretty much anywhere,

surpasses our Acme in shape, material or finish.

features

suckme

a centralized config.h header heavily inspired by the suckless design philosophy with the following options:
autoindent, scroll button behavior, fonts, and colors modifiable by the user
bartflag removed as a runtime flag and moved to a configurable option allowing for click-to-focus operation
some keybindings that behave like you expect from other editors/paradigms:
up/down arrows move between lines instead of scrolling the view
ctrl+c/ctrl+x/ctrl+v for snarfing, cutting, and pasting selected text; ctrl+z/ctrl+y for undo/redo
home/end move the cursor to the start/end of the current line, as do the original keybindings ctrl+a/ctrl+e
delete removes one character forward

config.h

config.h includes all the neccesary color and font modifications; just mk install whenever you modify it

fonts

run fontsrv -p . to list all the available fonts

choose two fonts for config.h: the first one is treated as a proportional width font and is used everywhere in acme, the second one can be activated for a specific window by executing Font from its tag

colors

colors need to be in the format of 0x*rgb hex color code*FF without the prefixed hashtag
