- Command: elle - ELLE Looks Like Emacs
- Syntax: elle file [file2]
- Flags: (none)
- Example: elle file.c # Start the editor
- ELLE (ELLE Looks Like Emacs) is an Emacs clone for MINIX. ELLE is
- not full Emacs but it has about 80 commands and is quite fast.
- Key bindings
- Mined only has a small number of commands. All of them are either
- of the form CTRL-x or are on the numeric keypad. Emacs, in contrast,
- has so many commands, that not only are all the CTRL-x commands used up,
- but so are all the ESC x (escape followed by x; escape is not a shift
- character, like CTRL). Even this is not enough, so CTRL-X is used as a
- prefix for additional commands. Thus CTRL-X CTRL-L is a command, and so
- is CTRL-X K. Note that what is conventionally written as CTRL-X K
- really means CTRL-X k. In some contexts it is traditional to write
- CTRL-X as ^X. Please note that they mean the same thing.
- As a result, many Emacs commands need three or four key strokes to
- execute. Some people think 3-4 key strokes is too many. For this
- reason, Emacs and ELLE allow users to assign their own key bindings. In
- ELLE this is done with 'user profiles.' A user profile is a file
- listing which function is invoked by which key stroke. The user profile
- is then compiled by a program called ellec into binary form. When ELLE
- starts up it checks to see if a file .ellepro.b1 exists in $HOME. If it
- does, this file is read in and overrides the default bindings.
- A user profile that simulates the mined commands fairly well is
- provided. Its installation is described later. If you have never used
- Emacs, it is suggested that you use the mined profile. If you normally
- use Emacs, then do not install the mined profile. You can also make
- your own using ellec. There is no Mock Lisp.
- ELLE has a character-oriented view of the world, not a line
- oriented view, like ed. It does not have magic characters for searching.
- However, you can use line feed in search patterns. For example, to find
- a line consisting of the three characters 'foo' all by themselves on a
- line, using the mined bindings (see below), use the pattern: CTRL-
- CTRL-J f o o CTRL- CTRL-J. The CTRL- means to interpret the next
- character literally, in this case it is CTRL-J, which is line feed. You
- can also search for patterns involving multiple lines. For example, to
- find a line ending in an 'x' followed by a line beginning with a 'y',
- use as pattern: x CTRL- CTRL-J y.
- Mined Key Bindings
-
-
- These are the key bindings if the binary user profile, .ellepro.b1,
- is installed in $HOME. The ESCAPE key followed by a number followed by
- a command causes that command to be executed 'number' times. This
- applies both to control characters and insertable characters. CTRL-X
- refers to a 'control character.' ESC x refers to an escape character
- followed by x. In other words, ^X is a synonym for CTRL-X. ^X Y refers
- to CTRL-X followed by y. To abort the current command and go back to
- the main loop of the editor, type CTRL-G, rather than CTRL-.
- Only a few commands are of the form CTRL-X Y. All of these are
- also bound to CTRL-X CTRL-Y, so you can hold down CTRL and then hit X Y,
- or release control after the X, as you prefer.
- The key bindings that are not listed should not be used. Some of
- them actually do things. For example, the ANSI escape codes ESC [ x are
- bound to ^X Y for a variety of y.
- Some commands work on regions. A region is defined as the text
- between the most recently set mark and the cursor.

- directory, the following commands will work.

- The major differences between ELLE with the mined profile and mined
- itself are:
- 1. The definition of a 'word' is different for forward and backward
- word
- 2. The mark is set with CTRL-^ instead of CTRL-@
- 3. Use CTRL-G to abort a command instead of CTRL-
- 4. Use CTRL- to literally insert the next character, instead of ALT
- 5. CTRL-E adjusts the window to put the cursor in the middle of it
- 6. To get and insert a file, use ESC G instead of CTRL-G
- 7. To go to line n, type ESC n CTRL-[ instead of CTRL-[ n
- 8. You exit with CTRL-X CTRL-X and then answer the question with 'y'.
- 9. There are many new commands, windows, larger files, etc.
