\fIElvis\fR is a full-screen editor closely modeled on the famous Berkeley
|
|
\fIvi\fR editor.
|
|
It provides essentially the same interface to the user as \fIvi\fR, but the
|
|
code is completely new, written from scratch.
|
|
This document provides a brief introduction to \fIvi\fR.
|
|
It is not intended as a tutorial for beginners.
|
|
Most books on
|
|
.Ux
|
|
cover \fIvi\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Like \fIvi\fR, \fIelvis\fR can operate as a screen editor
|
|
(\fIvi\fR mode) or as a line editor (\fIex\fR) mode.
|
|
It can be called either as \fIelvis\fR \fIvi\fR,or as \fIex\fR,
|
|
depending on which is desired.
|
|
They are all links to the same file.

contain a given regular expression. It then moves the cursor to each
|
|
of these lines and runs some other command on them.

|
|
The (j)oin command concatenates all lines in the specified range together
|
|
to form one big line. If only a single line is specified, then the
|
|
following line is catenated onto it.
|
|
|
|
The ! command runs an external filter program, and feeds the specified
|
|
range of lines to it's stdin. The lines are then replaced by the
|
|
output of the filter. A typical example would be \*(OQ:'a,'z!sort -n\*(CQ to
|
|
sort the lines 'a,'z according to their numeric values.
|
|
|
|
The < and > commands shift the specified range of lines left or right,
|
|
normally by the width of 1 tab character. The \*(OQshiftwidth\*(CQ option
|
|
determines the shifting amount.
|
|
|
|
The (s)ubstitute command finds the regular expression in each line,
|
|
and replaces it with the replacement text. The \*(OQp\*(CQ option causes
|
|
the altered lines to be printed, and the \*(OQg\*(CQ option permits all
|
|
instances of the regular expression to be found & replaced. (Without
|
|
\*(OQg\*(CQ, only the first occurrence is replaced.)

The (ma)p command allows you to configure \fIelvis\fR to recognize your
|
|
function keys, and treat them as though they transmitted some other
|
|
sequence of characters. Normally this mapping is done only when in
|
|
the visual command mode, but with the [!] present it will map keys
|
|
under all contexts. When this command is given with no arguments,
|
|
it prints a table showing all mappings currently in effect. When
|
|
called with two arguments, the first is the sequence that your
|
|
function key really sends, and the second is the sequence that you

|
|
|
|
The (unm)ap command removes key definitions that were made via the
|
|
map command.
|
|
|
|
The (se)t command allows you examine or set various options. With
|
|
no arguments, it displays the values of options that have been
|
|
changed. With the single argument \*(OQall\*(CQ it displays the values of
|
|
all options, regardless of whether they've been explicitly set or
|
|
not. Otherwise, the arguments are treated as options to be set.
|
|
|
|
The (mk)exrc command saves the current configuration to a file
|
|
called \fI.exrc\fR in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
The mar(k) command defines a named mark to refer to a specific place
|
|
in the file. This mark may be used later to specify lines for other
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
The (vi)sual command puts the editor into visual mode. Instead of
|
|
emulating ex, \fIelvis\fR will start emulating vi.
|
|
|
|
The (ve)rsion command tells you that what version of \fIelvis\fR this is.
|
|
|
|
The = command tells you what line you specified, or, if you specified
|
|
a range of lines, it will tell you both endpoints and the number of
|
|
lines included in the range.
|
|
|
|
The file command tells you the name of the file, whether it has been
|
|
modified, the number of lines in the file, and the current line number.

.B .exrc
|
|
.br
|
|
\fIElvis\fR first runs a \fI.exrc\fR file (if there is one) from your $HOME
|
|
directory. After that, it runs a \fI.exrc\fR (if there is one) from the
|
|
current directory. The one in the current directory may override
|
|
settings made by the one in the $HOME directory.

This EX command saves the current :set and :map configurations in

.B :args
|

.B :ar

|
|
You can use the :args command to define a new args list, as in:
|
|
|
|
:args *.h
|
|
|
|
After you have defined a new args list, the next time you issue a
|
|
:next command \fIelvis\fR will switch to the first file of the new list.

In VI, the (lowercase) \*(OQzz\*(CQ command will center the current line on

|
the screen, like \*(OQz="
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B .
|
|
.br
|
|
The default count value for . is the same as the previous command
|
|
which . is meant to repeat. However, you can supply a new count
|
|
if you wish.
|
|
For example, after \*(OQ3dw\*(CQ, \*(OQ.\*(CQ will delete 3 words,
|
|
but \*(OQ5.\*(CQ will delete 5 words.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
\fB"\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
The text which was most recently input (via a \*(OQcw\*(CQ command, or
|
|
something similar) is saved in a cut buffer called ". (which is a
|
|
pretty hard name to write in an English sentence). You can use this
|
|
with the \*(OQp\*(CQ or \*(OQP\*(CQ commands thusly:

|
.B K
|

.br
|
|
You can move the cursor onto a word and press shift-K to have \fIelvis\fR
|
|
run a reference program to look that word up. This command alone is
|
|
worth the price of admission! See the ctags and ref programs.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|

.B input
|
|
.br
|
|
You can backspace back past the beginning of the line.
|
|
If you type CTRL-A, then the text that you input last time is
|
|
inserted. You will remain in input mode, so you can backspace over
|
|
part of it, or add more to it. (This is sort of like CTRL-@ on
|
|
the real vi, except that CTRL-A really works.)
|
|
|
|
Real \fIvi\fR can only remember up to 128 characters of input, but \fIelvis\fR
|
|
can remember any amount.

Long lines are displayed differently\(emwhere the real vi would wrap a long

.PP
|
|
The \*(OQ:preserve\*(CQ and \*(OQ:recover\*(CQ commands are missing, as
|
|
is the \fB\(enr\fR flag.
|
|
\*(OQ:Preserve" is practically never used and since use of \*(OQ:recover\\*(CQ
|
|
is so rare, it was decided to implement it as a separate program. There's no

|
need to load the recovery code into memory every time you edit a file.
|

.PP
|

LISP support is missing.

.B autoindent
|
|
.br
|
|
During input mode, the autoindent option will cause each added line
|
|
to begin with the same amount of leading whitespace as the line above
|
|
it. Without autoindent, added lines are initially empty.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B autowrite
|
|
.br
|
|
When you're editing one file and decide to switch to another\(emvia
|
|
the :tag command, or :next command, perhaps\(emif your current
|
|
file has been modified, then \fIelvis\fR will normally print an error
|
|
message and refuse to switch.
|
|
|
|
However, if the autowrite option is on, then \fIelvis\fR will write the
|
|
modified version of the current file and successfully switch to the
|
|
new file.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B charattr
|
|
.br
|
|
Many text formatting programs allow you to designate portions of
|
|
your text to be underlined, italicized, or boldface by embedding
|
|
the special strings \\fU, \\fI, and \\fB in your text. The special
|
|
string \\fR marks the end of underlined or boldface text.
|
|
|
|
\fIElvis\fR normally treats those special strings just like any other
|
|
text.
|
|
However, if the \fIcharattr\fR option is on, then \fIelvis\fR will interpret
|
|
those special strings correctly, to display underlined or boldface
|
|
text on the screen. (This only works, of course, if your terminal
|
|
can display underlined and boldface, and if the TERMCAP entry says
|
|
how to do it.)
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B columns
|
|
.br
|
|
This is a \*(OQread only\*(CQ option. You cannot change its value, but you
|
|
can have \fIelvis\fR print it. It shows how wide your screen is.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B directory
|
|
.br
|
|
Elvis uses temporary files to store changed text.
|
|
This option allows you to control where those temporary files will be.
|
|
Ideally, you should store them on in fast non-volatile memory,
|
|
such as a hard disk.
|
|
|
|
This option can only be set in the ".exrc" file.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B errorbells
|
|
.br
|
|
Normally, \fIelvis\fR will ring your terminal's bell if you make an error.
|
|
However, in noerrorbells mode, your terminal will remain silent.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B exrefresh
|
|
.br
|
|
The EX mode of \fIelvis\fR writes many lines to the screen. You can make
|
|
\fIelvis\fR either write each line to the screen separately, or save up
|
|
many lines and write them all at once.
|
|
|
|
The exrefresh option is normally on, so each line is written to the
|
|
screen separately.
|
|
|
|
You may wish to turn the exrefresh option off (:se noer) if the
|
|
\*(OQwrite\*(CQ system call is costly on your machine, or if you're using a
|
|
windowing environment. (Windowing environments scroll text a lot
|
|
faster when you write many lines at once.)
|
|
|
|
This option has no effect in \fIvi\fR mode.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B ignorecase
|
|
.br
|
|
Normally, when \fIelvis\fR searches for text, it treats uppercase letters
|
|
as being different for lowercase letters.
|
|
|
|
When the ignorecase option is on, uppercase and lowercase are treated
|
|
as equal.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B keytime
|
|
.br
|
|
The arrow keys of most terminals send a multi-character sequence.
|
|
It takes a measurable amount of time for these sequences to be
|
|
transmitted. The keytime option allows you to control the maximum
|
|
amount of time to allow for an arrow key (or other mapped key) to
|
|
be received in full.
|
|
|
|
The default keytime value is 2. Because of the way
|
|
.Ux
|
|
timekeeping works, the actual amount of time allowed will vary slightly, but it
|
|
will always be between 1 and 2 seconds.
|
|
|
|
If you set keytime to 1, then the actual amount of time allowed will
|
|
be between 0 and 1 second. This will generally make the keyboard's
|
|
response be a little faster (mostly for the ESC key), but on those
|
|
occasions where the time allowed happens to be closer to 0 than 1
|
|
second, \fIelvis\fR may fail to allow enough time for an arrow key's
|
|
sequence to be received fully. Ugh.
|
|
|
|
As a special case, you can set keytime to 0 to disable this time
|
|
limit stuff altogether. The big problem here is: If your arrow
|
|
keys' sequences start with an ESC, then every time you hit your ESC
|
|
key \fIelvis\fR will wait... and wait... to see if maybe that ESC was
|
|
part of an arrow key's sequence.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this option is a generalization of the timeout option of the
|
|
real vi.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B keywordprg
|
|
.br
|
|
\fIElvis\fR has a special keyword lookup feature. You move the cursor
|
|
onto a word, and hit shift-K, and \fIelvis\fR uses another program to
|
|
look up the word and display information about it.
|
|
|
|
This option says which program gets run. It should contain the full
|
|
pathname of the program; your whole execution path is \fInot\fR checked.
|
|
|
|
The default value of this option is \fI/usr/bin/ref\fR, which is a
|
|
program that looks up the definition of a function in C. It looks
|
|
up the function name in a file called \*(OQrefs\*(CQ which is created by
|
|
ctags.
|
|
|
|
You can substitute other programs, such as an English dictionary
|
|
program or the online manual. \fIelvis\fR runs the program, using the
|
|
keyword as its only argument. The program should write information
|
|
to stdout. The program's exit status should be 0, unless you want
|
|
\fIelvis\fR to print \*(OQ<<< failed >>>".
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B lines
|
|
.br
|
|
This \*(OQread only\*(CQ option shows how many lines you screen has.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B list
|
|
.br
|
|
Normally (in \*(OQnolist" mode) \fIelvis\fR will expand tabs to the proper
|
|
number of spaces on the screen, so that the file appears the same would it would
|
|
be if you printed it or looked at it with \fImore\fR.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, though, it can be handy to have the tabs displayed as \*(OQ^I".
|
|
In \*(OQlist" mode, \fIelvis\fR does this, and also displays a \*(OQ$"
|
|
after the end of the line.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B magic
|
|
.br
|
|
The search mechanism in \fIelvis\fR can accept \*(OQregular
|
|
expressions\*(CQ\(emstrings in which certain characters have special meaning.
|
|
The magic option is normally on, which causes these characters to
|
|
be treated specially.
|
|
If you turn the magic option off (:se noma), then all characters
|
|
except ^ and $ are treated literally. ^ and $ retain their special
|
|
meanings regardless of the setting of magic.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B paragraphs
|
|
.br
|
|
The { and } commands move the cursor forward or backward in increments
|
|
of one paragraph. Paragraphs may be separated by blank lines, or by
|
|
a \*(OQdot\*(CQ command of a text formatter. Different text formatters use
|
|
different \*(OQdot\*(CQ commands. This option allows you to configure \fIelvis\fR
|
|
to work with your text formatter.
|
|
|
|
It is assumed that your formatter uses commands that start with a
|
|
".\*(CQ character at the front of a line, and then have a one- or
|
|
two-character command name.
|
|
|
|
The value of the paragraphs option is a string in which each pair
|
|
of characters is one possible form of your text formatter's paragraph
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B readonly
|
|
.br
|
|
Normally, \fIelvis\fR will let you write back any file to which you have
|
|
write permission. If you do not have write permission, then you
|
|
can only write the changed version of the file to a \fIdifferent\fR
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
If you set the readonly option, then \fIelvis\fR will pretend you do not
|
|
have write permission to \fIany\fR file you edit. It is useful when
|
|
you really only mean to use \fIelvis\fR to look at a file, not to change
|
|
it. This way you cannot change it accidentally.
|
|
|
|
This option is normally off, unless you use the \*(OQview\*(CQ alias of \fIelvis\fR.
|
|
\*(OQView\*(CQ is like \fIvi\fR except that the readonly option is on.

Commands in \fIelvis\fR may affect many lines. For commands that affect
|
|
a lot of lines, \fIelvis\fR will output a message saying what was done and
|
|
how many lines were affected. This option allows you to define
|
|
what \*(OQa lot of lines\*(CQ means. The default is 5, so any command which
|
|
affects 5 or more lines will cause a message to be shown.

|
.B scroll
|
|
.br
|
|
The CTRL-U and CTRL-D keys normally scroll backward or forward
|
|
by half a screenful, but this is adjustable. The value of this option
|
|
says how many lines those keys should scroll by.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B sections
|
|
.br
|
|
The [[ and ]] commands move the cursor backward or forward in
|
|
increment of 1 section. Sections may be delimited by a { character
|
|
in column 1 (which is useful for C source code) or by means of
|
|
a text formatter's \*(OQdot\*(CQ commands.
|
|
|
|
This option allows you to configure \fIelvis\fR to work with your text
|
|
formatter's \*(OQsection\*(CQ command, in exactly the same way that the
|
|
paragraphs option makes it work with the formatter's \*(OQparagraphs"
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B shell
|
|
.br
|
|
When \fIelvis\fR forks a shell (perhaps for the :! or :shell commands)
|
|
this is the program that is uses as a shell. This is \fI/bin/sh\fR
|
|
by default, unless you have set the SHELL environment variable,
|
|
it which case the default value is copied from the environment.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B shiftwidth
|
|
.br
|
|
The < and > commands shift text left or right by some uniform number
|
|
of columns. The shiftwidth option defines that uniform number.
|
|
The default is 8.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B sidescroll
|
|
.br
|
|
For long lines, \fIelvis\fR scrolls sideways. (This is different from
|
|
the real \fIvi\fR, which wraps a single long line onto several rows of
|
|
the screen.)
|
|
To minimize the number of scrolls needed, \fIelvis\fR moves the screen
|
|
sideways by several characters at a time. The value of this option
|
|
says how many characters' widths to scroll at a time.
|
|
Generally, the faster your screen can be redrawn, the lower the value
|
|
you will want in this option.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B sync
|
|
.br
|
|
If the system crashes during an edit session, then most of your work
|
|
can be recovered from the temporary file that \fIelvis\fR uses to store
|
|
changes. However, sometimes
|
|
.MX
|
|
will not copy changes to the
|
|
hard disk immediately, so recovery might not be possible. The [no]sync
|
|
option lets you control this.
|
|
In nosync mode (which is the default), \fIelvis\fR lets the operating system
|
|
control when data is written to the disk. This is generally faster.
|
|
In sync mode, \fIelvis\fR forces all changes out to disk every time you make
|
|
a change. This is generally safer, but slower.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B tabstop
|
|
.br
|
|
Tab characters are normally 8 characters wide, but you can change
|
|
their widths by means of this option.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B term
|
|
.br
|
|
This \*(OQread only\*(CQ option shows the name of the termcap entry that
|
|
\fIelvis\fR is using for your terminal.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B vbell
|
|
.br
|
|
If your termcap entry describes a visible alternative to ringing
|
|
your terminal's bell, then this option will say whether the visible
|
|
version gets used or not. Normally it will be.
|
|
|
|
If your termcap does NOT include a visible bell capability, then
|
|
the vbell option will be off, and you cannot turn it on.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B warn
|
|
.br
|
|
\fIElvis\fR will normally warn you if you run a shell command without saving
|
|
your changed version of a file.
|
|
The \*(OQnowarn" option prevents this warning.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B wrapmargin
|
|
.br
|
|
Normally (with wrapmargin=0) \fIelvis\fR will let you type in extremely long
|
|
lines, if you wish.
|
|
However, with wrapmargin set to something other that 0 (wrapmargin=65
|
|
is nice), \fIelvis\fR will automatically cause long lines to be \*(OQwrapped"
|
|
on a word break for lines longer than wrapmargin's setting.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B wrapscan
|
|
.br
|
|
Normally, when you search for something, \fIelvis\fR will find it no matter
|
|
where it is in the file. \fIelvis\fR starts at the cursor position, and
|
|
searches forward. If \fIelvis\fR hits EOF without finding what you're
|
|
looking for, then it wraps around to continue searching from line 1.
|
|
|
|
If you turn off the wrapscan option (:se nows), then when \fIelvis\fR hits
|
|
EOF during a search, it will stop and say so.
|
|
.in -0.25i

|
.SS "Cflags"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIElvis\fR uses many preprocessor symbols to control compilation.
|
|
Most of these flags allow you to disable small sets of features.
|
|
\s-2MINIX\s0-ST users will probably want all features enabled, but
|
|
\s-2MINIX\s0-PC users will have to disable one or two feature sets
|
|
because otherwise \fIelvis\fR would be too large to compile and run.
|
|
|
|
These symbols can be defined via flags passed to the compiler.
|
|
The best way to do this is to edit the Makefile, and append the flag
|
|
to the \*(OQCFLAGS=\*(CQ line.
|
|
After you do that, you must recompile elvis completely by saying
|
|
.HS
|
|
.Cx "make clean"
|
|
.br
|
|
.Cx "make"
|

|
|
.in +0.25i
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDM_SYSV
|
|
.br
|
|
This flag causes \fIelvis\fR to use System-V ioctl() calls for controlling
|
|
your terminal; normally it uses v7/BSD/\s-2MINIX\s0 ioctl() calls.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDDATE
|
|
.br
|
|
The symbol DATE should be defined to look like a string constant,
|
|
giving the date when \fIelvis\fR was compiled.
|
|
This date is reported by the \*(OQ:version\*(CQ command.
|
|
|
|
You can also leave DATE undefined, in which case \*(OQ:version\*(CQ will not
|
|
report the compilation date.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDCRUNCH
|
|
.br
|
|
This flag causes several large often-used macros to be replaced by
|
|
equivalent functions.
|
|
This saves about 4K of space in the \*(OQ.text\*(CQ segment, and it does not
|
|
cost you any features.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDDEBUG
|
|
.br
|
|
This adds many internal consistency checks and the \*(OQ:debug\*(CQ
|
|
and \*(OQ:validate\*(CQ
|
|
commands. It increases the size of \*(OQtext\*(CQ by about 5K bytes.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDNO_CHARATTR
|
|
.br
|
|
This permanenently disables the \*(OQcharattr\*(CQ option.
|
|
It reduces the size of \*(OQ.text\*(CQ by about 850 bytes.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDNO_RECYCLE
|
|
.br
|
|
Normally, \fIelvis\fR will recycle space in the temporary file which contains
|
|
totally obsolete text.
|
|
The \fB\(enDNO_RECYCLE\fR option disables this, making your \*(OQ.text\*(CQ segment
|
|
smaller by about 1K but also permitting the temporary file to grow very
|
|
quickly.
|
|
If you have less than two megabytes of free space on your disk,
|
|
then do not even consider using this flag.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDNO_SENTENCE
|
|
.br
|
|
This leaves out the \*(OQ(\*(CQ and \*(OQ)\*(CQ visual commands, and
|
|
removes the code that allows the \*(OQ[[\*(CQ, \*(OQ]]\*(CQ, \*(OQ{\*(CQ,
|
|
and \*(OQ}\*(CQ commands to recognize \fRnroff\fR macros.
|
|
The \*(OQ[[\*(CQ and \*(OQ]]\*(CQ commands will still move to the start of
|
|
the previous/next C function source code, though, and \*(OQ{\*(CQ
|
|
and \*(OQ}\*(CQ will move to the previous/next blank line.
|
|
This saves about 650 bytes from the \*(OQ.text\*(CQ segment.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDNO_CHARSEARCH
|
|
.br
|
|
This leaves out the visual commands which locate a given character in the
|
|
current line: \*(OQf\*(CQ, \*(OQt\*(CQ, \*(OQF\*(CQ, \*(OQT\*(CQ, \*(OQ;\*(CQ, and \*(OQ,\*(CQ.
|
|
This saves about 900 bytes.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDNO_EXTENSIONS
|
|
.br
|
|
This leaves out the \*(OQ:mkexrc\*(CQ command, and the \*(OQK\*(CQ and \*(OQ#\*(CQ visual commands.
|
|
Other extensions are either inherent in the design of \fIelvis\fR,
|
|
or are too tiny to be worth removing.
|
|
This saves about 500 bytes.
|
|
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \(enDNO_MAGIC
|
|
.br
|
|
This permanently disables the \*(OQmagic\*(CQ option, so that most
|
|
meta-characters in a regular expression are not recognized.
|
|
This saves about 3K bytes from the \*(OQ.text\*(CQ segment.

\fIElvis\fR can use standard termcap entries,

All of these are optional.
