Acme is a programmer's editor: a rich system for working with
text-oriented applications.
GETTING STARTED
Here is a very quick tour of Acme to help you get started. A
much more detailed explanation can be found in the acme(1)
manual page and Rob Pike's paper, Acme: A User Interface for
Programmers.
RIGHT click on manual references to read a manual page. E.g.,
acme(1), cat(1), intro(1), and ls(1). A man page reference is an
example of a notation that in Acme is also part of the user
interface.
Another example is a URL. Right-click the URL below to read the
Acme paper.

Clicking on a single word with the MIDDLE mouse button will do
some action, such as a built in function or an external
command. The word New opens a new window. Try it now, click
the middle mouse button over the word New then close the
window by middle-clicking the word Del, in the top line of the
window.
A window can be moved by dragging the top left corner of the
window. A column of windows can be moved by dragging the
top left corner of the column.
Dragging the mouse while holding down the middle mouse
button executes the selected text when you release the button.
Try it on the line below.
lookman intro
Pathnames are a fundamental notation in acme. Right-click on
pathnames to open a window on the file or directory, e.g.
/usr/inferno
Acme is a multi-tasking system; each process has its own
<<<<<<< HEAD
namespace of visibile files. The namespace can be modified with
=======
namespace of visible files. The namespace can be modified with
>>>>>>> 5c5c6d8916f1d6e4815de8f5f436889b2b74843e
bind(1) and mount commands. Change the acme namespace by
prefixing mount and bind commands with 'Local'. For example,
mount the Plan 9 source code server by middle-selecting this
text then right-click the pathname /n/sources.
Local mount -A tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com!9fs /n/sources
Acme is also a shell and comes with a set of Unix-like
<<<<<<< HEAD
commands. Commands lines can be typed anywhere and
=======
commands. Commandlines can be typed anywhere and
>>>>>>> 5c5c6d8916f1d6e4815de8f5f436889b2b74843e
executed by selecting them and clicking on the selected text
with the middle mouse button. If you need to open a terminal
window middle click on the command: win
Try executing the command line below by selecting it with the
middle mouse button.
ps | wc
You'll probably want to work on files in your host system. The
local drives should already be mounted below /n, for example,
<<<<<<< HEAD
on Nt see /n/C, on Linux or MacOSX see /n/local
WIKI
You can read and edit the Inferno or Plan 9 wikis. Mount the
Inferno wiki filesystem,
Local mount -A tcp!canto.hopto.org!wiki /mnt/wiki
=======
on Nt see /n/C on Linux or MacOSX see /n/local
WIKI
You can read and edit the Inferno or Plan 9 wikis. Mount the
Plan 9 wiki filesystem,
Local mount -A tcp!plan9.bell-labs.com!wiki /mnt/wiki
>>>>>>> 5c5c6d8916f1d6e4815de8f5f436889b2b74843e
Then run the wiki browser,

IRC
Join other inferno users on #inferno IRC channel. Run the
command below
airc -n acmeuser -j '#inferno' irc.freenode.net
WEB
You can read web pages in acme. In fact this is a nice
demonstration of the power of plain text as a user interface.
Right-click on the following link
http://caerwyn.com/ipn
You might find some scripts on the web page that are directly
runnable from inside acme.
