# Overview

Go port of Rob Pike's Acme editor. Derived from

[ProjectSerenity](https://github.com/ProjectSerenity/acme) but now

increasingly divergent. ProjectSerenity was itself a transliteration

of the original Acme and libframe C code from

[plan9port](https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/)

Named *edwood* in celebration of the  formative influence of Ed Wood on

Plan9 and the truth of

[ed](http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jec/texts/ed.html)-iting.

Note that on unix systems, Edwood (as with Acme) requires by default some

infrastructure from [plan9port](https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/):

in particular `devdraw`, `9pserve` and `fontsrv`. (Note that many other

utilities like `win` and `9pfuse` that contribute to Edwood's utility

are also found in [plan9port](https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/).) So, you'll want to

install [plan9port](https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/) first, unless

you choose to use the more experimental pure-Go Edwood described below.

## Edwood without plan9port

On Windows, plan9port is never used. On unix systems, plan9port is not

used only when the `duitdraw` and `mux9p` tags are used:

	go get -u -tags 'duitdraw mux9p' github.com/rjkroege/edwood

These tags replaces `devdraw` with

[duitdraw](https://github.com/ktye/duitdraw) and `9pserve` with

[mux9p](https://github.com/fhs/mux9p). Note that there are several

outstanding [issues](https://github.com/rjkroege/edwood/issues/205)

which makes Edwood more unstable and slower when not using plan9port.

Duitdraw can use TTF fonts or compressed Plan 9 bitmap fonts. If the font

name is empty, the [Go Font](https://blog.golang.org/go-fonts) is used.

Example usage:

	edwood	# Use Go font at 10pt

	edwood -f @12pt -F @12pt	# Go font at 12pt

	edwood -f /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf@12pt -F /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono.ttf@12pt

	edwood -f $PLAN9/font/lucsans/euro.8.font -F $PLAN9/font/lucm/unicode.9.font

# Contributions

Contributions are welcome. Just submit a pull request and we'll review

the code before merging it in.

# Project Status

Edwood has reached the *useful* milestone (v0.1) and should

serve as drop-in replacement for Plan9 Port Acme. (But probably with

different bugs.) Please file issues if Acme client apps don't work

with Edwood or if your favourite Acme feature doesn't work.

# Roadmap

* More idiomatic Go and tests.

* Internal API modernization.

* Revised text handling data structures.

* More configurability: styles, keyboard shortcuts, autocomplete.

* See the issues list for the details.

* Improve the testing [code coverage](https://codecov.io/gh/rjkroege/edwood)
