Acme (text editor)
From Free net encyclopedia
Acme is a text editor and shell from the Plan 9 operating system, designed and implemented by Rob Pike. It can use the sam command language. The design of the interface was influenced by Oberon. It is different from other editing environments in that it acts as a 9P server. A distinctive element of the interface is mouse chording.
A port to Inferno operating system is part of Inferno's default distribution. A standalone version of Inferno with acme to be used as part of the host operating system <ref>Template:Cite web</ref>.
Acme can also act as a mail and news reader, or as a frontend to wikifs. These applications are made possible by external components interacting with Acme through its file system interface.
