Re: [9fans] managing windows in rio

4. to recall commands typed in an rc session without resorting to the
middle mouse button (snarf+paste)?

Aside from " and "" others have mentioned (which are *really useful*),
note that snarf+paste is the wrong idiom for this anyway, double click
at start/end of line + send (which if the last action was a 'send'
becomes a single click) is usually much better. Inside acme's win it
is even easier. And also, it is rare to Snarf with a menu when you can
mouse chord instead.

5. to make rc auto-scroll for programs that output many pages of text, e.
g. a du on a deep directory tree, and to not block them after a single
page?
6. to make rc auto-complete with the [tab] key, instead of the [ins] key?
7. to make rc auto-complete commands and not only file/directory names?
8. to make the [del] key delete the character at the caret as it does in
many other environments?
9. to search a manual page while reading it, and not by piping it through
grep?

Are there...

1. any (configurable or otherwise) keyboard shortcuts in acme/rio?
2. alternatives to mouse navigation and, particularly, text selection in
acme?
3. ways to quit acid without deleting its window or hitting [ctrl]+[d]
twice, which ends up deleting the window and all the scrollback buffer
with it (I could not find a quit() function in the manual page)?

Notes on the Plan 9 way of interfacing (the user side of it, of course)
are also welcome. Perhaps there are better/faster ways to do things that I
am not aware of.

Thanks for your taking the time to read through.
