.SH NAME
mcedit \- Internal file editor of GNU Midnight Commander.
.SH USAGE
\fBmcedit\fP [\-bcCdfhstVx?] [+lineno] file
.PP
\fBmcedit\fP [\-bcCdfhstVx?] file:lineno[:]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
mcedit is a link to \fBmc\fP, the main GNU Midnight Commander executable.
Executing GNU Midnight Commander under this name requests staring the
internal editor and opening the \fIfile\fP specified on the command line.  The
editor is based on the terminal version of \fBcooledit\fP \- standalone editor
for X Window System.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 
\fI+lineno\fP
Go to the line specified by number (do not put a space between the \fI+\fP sign
and the number).
.TP 
\fI\-b\fP
Force black and white display.
.TP 
\fI\-c\fP
Force ANSI color mode on terminals that don't seem to have color support.
.TP 
\fI\-C <keyword>=<fgcolor>,<bgcolor>,<attributes>:<keyword>= ...\fP
Specify a different color set.  See the \fBColors\fP section in mc(1) for more
information.
.TP 
\fI\-d\fP
Disable mouse support.
.TP 
\fI\-f\fP
Display the compiled\-in search path for GNU Midnight Commander data files.
.TP 
\fI\-t\fP
Force using termcap database instead of terminfo.  This option is only
applicable if GNU Midnight Commander was compiled with S\-Lang library with
terminfo support.
.TP 
\fI\-V\fP
Display the version of the program.
.TP 
\fI\-x\fP
Force xterm mode.  Used when running on xterm\-capable terminals (two screen
modes, and able to send mouse escape sequences).
.SH FEATURES
The internal file editor is a full\-featured full screen editor.  It can edit
files up to 64 megabytes.  It is possible to edit binary files.  The
features it presently supports are: block copy, move, delete, cut, paste;
key for key undo; pull\-down menus; file insertion; macro commands; regular
expression search and replace (and our own scanf\-printf search and replace);
shift\-arrow text highlighting (if supported by the terminal);
insert\-overwrite toggle; word wrap; autoindent; tunable tab size; syntax
highlighting for various file types; and an option to pipe text blocks
through shell commands like indent and ispell.
.SH KEYS
The editor is easy to use and can be used without learning.  The pull\-down
menu is invoked by pressing F9.  You can learn other keys from the menu and
from the button bar labels.
.PP
In addition to that, Shift combined with arrows does text highlighting (if
supported by the terminal): \fBCtrl\-Ins\fP copies to the file
\fB~/.cache/mc/mcedit/mcedit.clip\fP, \fBShift\-Ins\fP pastes from
\fB~/.cache/mc/mcedit/mcedit.clip\fP, \fBShift\-Del\fP cuts to
\fB~/.cache/mc/mcedit/mcedit.clip\fP, and \fBCtrl\-Del\fP deletes highlighted
text.  Mouse highlighting also works on some terminals.  To use the standard
mouse support provided by your terminal, hold the Shift key.  Please note
that the mouse support in the terminal doesn't share the clipboard with
\fBmcedit\fP.
.PP
The completion key (usually \fBMeta\-Tab\fP or \fBEscape Tab\fP)  completes the
word under the cursor using the words used earlier in the file.
.SH MACRO
.PP
To define a macro, press \fBCtrl\-R\fP and then type out the keys you want to be
executed.  Press \fBCtrl\-R\fP again when finished.  The macro can be assigned
to any key by pressing that key.  The macro is executed when you press the
assigned key.
.PP
The macro commands are stored in section \fB[editor]\fP it the file
\fB~/.local/share/mc/mc.macros\fP.
.PP
External scripts (filters) can be assigned into the any hotkey by edit
\fBmc.macros\fP like following:
.PP
.nf
[editor]
ctrl\-W=ExecuteScript:25;
.fi
.PP
This means that ctrl\-W hotkey initiates the \fIExecuteScript(25)\fP action,
then editor handler translates this into execution of
\fB~/.local/share/mc/mcedit/macros.d/macro.25.sh\fP shell script.
.PP
External scripts are stored in \fB~/.local/share/mc/mcedit/macros.d/\fP
directory and must be named as \fBmacro.XXXX.sh\fP where \fBXXXX\fP is the number
from 0 to 9999.  See \fBMenu File Edit\fP for more detail about format of the
script.
.PP
Following macro definition and directives can be used:
.TP 
\fI#silent\fP
If this directive is set, then script starts without interactive subshell.
.TP 
\fI%c\fP
The cursor column position number.
.TP 
\fI%i\fP
The indent of blank space, equal the cursor column.
.TP 
\fI%y\fP
The syntax type of current file.
.TP 
\fI%b\fP
The block file name.
.TP 
\fI%f\fP
The current file name.
.TP 
\fI%n\fP
Only the current file name without extension.
.TP 
\fI%x\fP
The extension of current file name.
.TP 
\fI%d\fP
The current directory name.
.TP 
\fI%F\fP
The current file in the unselected panel.
.TP 
\fI%D\fP
The directory name of the unselected panel.
.TP 
\fI%t\fP
The currently tagged files.
.TP 
\fI%T\fP
The tagged files in the unselected panel.
.TP 
\fI%u\fP
and \fI%U\fP Similar to the \fI%t\fP and \fI%T\fP macros, but in addition the files
are untagged. You can use this macro only once per menu file entry or
extension file entry, because next time there will be no tagged files.
.TP 
\fI%s\fP
and \fI%S\fP The selected files: The tagged files if there are any. Otherwise
the current file.
.PP
Feel free to edit this files, if you need.  Here is a sample external
script:
.PP
.nf
l       comment selection
	TMPFILE=`mktemp ${MC_TMPDIR:\-/tmp}/up.XXXXXX` || exit 1
	echo #if 0 > $TMPFILE
	cat %b >> $TMPFILE
	echo #endif >> $TMPFILE
	cat $TMPFILE > %b
	rm \-f $TMPFILE
.fi
.PP
If some keys don't work, you can use \fBLearn Keys\fP in the \fBOptions\fP menu.
.SH "CODE NAVIGATION"
\fBmcedit\fP can be used to navigation through code with tags files created by
etags or ctags commands. If there is no file TAGS code navigation would not
work.  In example, in case of exuberant\-ctags for C language command will
be:
.PP
ctags \-e \-\-language\-force=C \-R ./
.PP
\fBMeta\-Enter\fP show list box to select item under cursor (cusor should stand
at end of word).
.PP
\fBMeta\-Minus\fP where minus is symbol "\-" go to previous function in
navigation list (like a browser Back).
.PP
\fBMeta\-Equal\fP where equal is symbol "=" go to next function in navigation
list (like a browser Forward).
.PP
.SH "SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING"
\fBmcedit\fP supports syntax highlighting.  This means that keywords and
contexts (like C comments, string constants, etc) are highlighted in
different colors.  The following section explains the format of the file
\fB~/.local/share/mc/mcedit/Syntax\fP.  If this file is missing, system\-wide
\fB@prefix@/share/mc/syntax/Syntax\fP is used.  The file
\fB~/.local/share/mc/mcedit/Syntax\fP is rescanned on opening of a any new
editor file.  The file contains rules for highlighting, each of which is
given on a separate line, and define which keywords will be highlighted to
what color.
.PP
The file is divided into sections, each beginning with a line with the
\fBfile\fP command.  The sections are normally put into separate files using
the \fBinclude\fP command.
.PP
The \fBfile\fP command has three arguments.  The first argument is a regular
expression that is applied to the file name to determine if the following
section applies to the file.  The second argument is the description of the
file type.  It is used in \fBcooledit\fP; future versions of \fBmcedit\fP may use
it as well.  The third optional argument is a regular expression to match
the first line of text of the file.  The rules in the following section
apply if either the file name or the first line of text matches.
.PP
A section ends with the start of another section.  Each section is divided
into contexts, and each context contains rules.  A context is a scope within
the text that a particular set of rules belongs to.  For instance, the text
within a C style comment (i.e. between \fB/*\fP and \fB*/\fP)  has its own color.
This is a context, although it has no further rules inside it because there
is probably nothing that we want highlighted within a C comment.
.PP
A trivial C programming section might look like this:
.PP
.nf
file .\e*\e\e.c C\esProgram\esFile (#include|/\e\e\e*)

wholechars abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_

# default colors
define  comment   brown
context default
  keyword  whole  if       yellow
  keyword  whole  else     yellow
  keyword  whole  for      yellow
  keyword  whole  while    yellow
  keyword  whole  do       yellow
  keyword  whole  switch   yellow
  keyword  whole  case     yellow
  keyword  whole  static   yellow
  keyword  whole  extern   yellow
  keyword         {        brightcyan
  keyword         }        brightcyan
  keyword         '*'      green

# C comments
context /\e* \e*/ comment

# C preprocessor directives
context linestart # \en red
  keyword  \e\e\en  brightred

# C string constants
context " " green
  keyword  %d    brightgreen
  keyword  %s    brightgreen
  keyword  %c    brightgreen
  keyword  \e\e"   brightgreen
.fi
.PP
Each context starts with a line of the form:
.PP
\fBcontext\fP [\fBexclusive\fP] [\fBwhole\fP|\fBwholeright\fP|\fBwholeleft\fP]
[\fBlinestart\fP] \fIdelim\fP [\fBlinestart\fP] \fIdelim\fP [\fIforeground\fP]
[\fIbackground\fP] [\fIattributes\fP]
.PP
The first context is an exception.  It must start with the command
.PP
\fBcontext default\fP [\fIforeground\fP] [\fIbackground\fP] [\fIattributes\fP]
.PP
otherwise \fBmcedit\fP will report an error.  The \fBlinestart\fP option specifies
that \fIdelim\fP must start at the beginning of a line.  The \fBwhole\fP option
tells that \fIdelim\fP must be a whole word.  To specify that a word must begin
on the word boundary only on the left side, you can use the \fBwholeleft\fP
option, and similarly a word that must end on the word boundary is specified
by \fBwholeright\fP.
.PP
The set of characters that constitute a whole word can be changed at any
point in the file with the \fBwholechars\fP command.  The left and right set of
characters can be set separately with
.PP
\fBwholechars\fP [\fBleft\fP|\fBright\fP] \fIcharacters\fP
.PP
The \fBexclusive\fP option causes the text between the delimiters to be
highlighted, but not the delimiters themselves.
.PP
Each rule is a line of the form:
.PP
\fBkeyword\fP [\fBwhole\fP|\fBwholeright\fP|\fBwholeleft\fP] [\fBlinestart\fP] \fIstring
foreground\fP [\fIbackground\fP] [\fIattributes\fP]
.PP
Context or keyword strings are interpreted, so that you can include tabs and
spaces with the sequences \et and \es.  Newlines and backslashes are
specified with \en and \e\e respectively.  Since whitespace is used as a
separator, it may not be used as is.  Also, \e* must be used to specify an
asterisk.  The * itself is a wildcard that matches any length of
characters.  For example,
.PP
.nf
  keyword         '*'      green
.fi
.PP
colors all C single character constants green.  You also could use
.PP
.nf
  keyword         "*"      green
.fi
.PP
to color string constants, but the matched string would not be allowed to
span across multiple newlines.  The wildcard may be used within context
delimiters as well, but you cannot have a wildcard as the last or first
character.
.PP
Important to note is the line
.PP
.nf
  keyword  \e\e\en  brightgreen
.fi
.PP
This line defines a keyword containing the backslash and newline
characters.  Since the keywords are matched before the context delimiters,
this keyword prevents the context from ending at the end of the lines that
end in a backslash, thus allowing C preprocessor directive to continue
across multiple lines.
.PP
The possible colors are: black, gray, red, brightred, green, brightgreen,
brown, yellow, blue, brightblue, magenta, brightmagenta, cyan, brightcyan,
lightgray and white. The special keyword "default" means the terminal's
default. Another special keyword "base" means mc's main colors, it is useful
as a placeholder if you want to specify attributes without modifying the
background color. When 256 colors are available, they can be specified
either as color16 to color255, or as rgb000 to rgb555 and gray0 to gray23.
.PP
If the syntax file is shared with \fBcooledit\fP, it is possible to specify
different colors for \fBmcedit\fP and \fBcooledit\fP by separating them with a
slash, e.g.
.PP
.nf
keyword  #include  red/Orange
.fi
.PP
\fBmcedit\fP uses the color before the slash.  See cooledit(1) for supported
\fBcooledit\fP colors.
.PP
Attributes can be any of bold, underline, reverse and blink, appended by a
plus sign if more than one are desired.
.PP
Comments may be put on a separate line starting with the hash sign (#).
.PP
If you are describing case insensitive language you need to use
\fBcaseinsensitive\fP derective. It should be specified at the begining of
syntax file.
.PP
Because of the simplicity of the implementation, there are a few intricacies
that will not be dealt with correctly but these are a minor irritation.  On
the whole, a broad spectrum of quite complicated situations are handled with
these simple rules.  It is a good idea to take a look at the syntax file to
see some of the nifty tricks you can do with a little imagination.  If you
cannot get by with the rules I have coded, and you think you have a rule
that would be useful, please email me with your request.  However, do not
ask for regular expression support, because this is flatly impossible.
.PP
A useful hint is to work with as much as possible with the things you can do
rather than try to do things that this implementation cannot deal with.
Also remember that the aim of syntax highlighting is to make programming
less prone to error, not to make code look pretty.
.PP
The syntax highlighting can be toggled using Ctrl\-s shortcut.
.SH COLORS
The default colors may be changed by appending to the \fBMC_COLOR_TABLE\fP
environment variable.  Foreground and background colors pairs may be
specified for example with:
.PP
.nf
MC_COLOR_TABLE="$MC_COLOR_TABLE:\e
editnormal=lightgray,black:\e
editbold=yellow,black:\e
editmarked=black,cyan"
.fi
.SH OPTIONS
Most options can now be set from the editors options dialog box.  See the
\fBOptions\fP menu.  The following options are defined in \fB~/.config/mc/ini\fP
and have obvious counterparts in the dialog box.  You can modify them to
change the editor behavior, by editing the file.  Unless specified, a 1 sets
the option to on, and a 0 sets it to off, as is usual.
.TP 
\fIuse_internal_edit\fP
This option is ignored when invoking \fBmcedit\fP.
.TP 
\fIeditor_tab_spacing\fP
Interpret the tab character as being of this length.  Default is 8. You
should avoid using other than 8 since most other editors and text viewers
assume a tab spacing of 8. Use \fBeditor_fake_half_tabs\fP to simulate a
smaller tab spacing.
.TP 
\fIeditor_fill_tabs_with_spaces\fP
Never insert a tab space. Rather insert spaces (ascii 20h) to fill to the
desired tab size.
.TP 
\fIeditor_return_does_auto_indent\fP
Pressing return will tab across to match the indentation of the first line
above that has text on it.
.TP 
\fIeditor_backspace_through_tabs\fP
Make a single backspace delete all the space to the left margin if there is
no text between the cursor and the left margin.
.TP 
\fIeditor_fake_half_tabs\fP
This will emulate a half tab for those who want to program with a tab
spacing of 4, but do not want the tab size changed from 8 (so that the code
will be formatted the same when displayed by other programs). When editing
between text and the left margin, moving and tabbing will be as though a tab
space were 4, while actually using spaces and normal tabs for an optimal
fill.  When editing anywhere else, a normal tab is inserted.
.TP 
\fIeditor_option_save_mode\fP
Possible values 0, 1 and 2.  The save mode (see the options menu also)
allows you to change the method of saving a file.  Quick save (0) saves the
file by immediately, truncating the disk file to zero length (i.e.  erasing
it) and the writing the editor contents to the file.  This method is fast,
but dangerous, since a system error during a file save will leave the file
only partially written, possibly rendering the data irretrievable.  When
saving, the safe save (1) option enables creation of a temporary file into
which the file contents are first written.  In the event of an problem, the
original file is untouched.  When the temporary file is successfully
written, it is renamed to the name of the original file, thus replacing it.
The safest method is create backups (2).  Where a backup file is created
before any changes are made.  You can specify your own backup file extension
in the dialog.  Note that saving twice will replace your backup as well as
your original file.
.TP 
\fIeditor_word_wrap_line_length\fP
line length to wrap. 72 default.
.TP 
\fIeditor_backup_extension\fP
symbol for add extension to name of backup files. Default "~".
.TP 
\fIeditor_line_state\fP
show state line of editor now it show number of file line (in future it can
show things like folding, breakpoints, etc.). M\-n toglle this option.
.TP 
\fIeditor_visible_spaces\fP
Toggle show visible trailing spaces (TWS), if editor_visible_spaces=1 TWS
showed as '.'
.TP 
\fIeditor_visible_tabs\fP
Toggle show visible tabs, if editor_visible_tabs=1 tabs showed as
\&'<\-\-\-\->'
.TP 
\fIeditor_persistent_selections\fP
Do not remove block selection after moving the cursor.
.TP 
\fIeditor_cursor_beyond_eol\fP
Allow moving cursor beyond the end of line.
.TP 
\fIeditor_syntax_highlighting\fP
enable syntax highlighting.
.TP 
\fIeditor_edit_confirm_save\fP
show confirm dialog on save.
.TP 
\fIeditor_option_typewriter_wrap\fP
to be described
.TP 
\fIeditor_option_auto_para_formatting\fP
to be described
.TP 
\fIeditor_option_save_position\fP
save file position on exit.
.TP 
\fIsource_codepage\fP
symbol representation of codepage name for file (i.e. CP1251, ~ \- default).
.TP 
\fIeditor_group_undo\fP
do UNDO for several of the same type of action (inserting/overwriting,
deleting, navigating, typing)
.TP 
\fIeditor_wordcompletion_collect_entire_file\fP
Search autocomplete candidates in entire of file or just from begin of file
to cursor position (0)

.SH MISCELLANEOUS
You can use scanf search and replace to search and replace a C format
string.  First take a look at the \fBsscanf\fP and \fBsprintf\fP man pages to see
what a format string is and how it works.  Here's an example: suppose that
you want to replace all occurrences of an open bracket, three comma
separated numbers, and a close bracket, with the word \fIapples\fP, the third
number, the word \fIoranges\fP and then the second number.  You would fill in
the Replace dialog box as follows:
.PP
.nf
\fBEnter search string\fP
(%d,%d,%d)
\fBEnter replace string\fP
apples %d oranges %d
\fBEnter replacement argument order\fP
3,2
.fi
.PP
The last line specifies that the third and then the second number are to be
used in place of the first and second.
.PP
It is advisable to use this feature with Prompt On Replace on, because a
match is thought to be found whenever the number of arguments found matches
the number given, which is not always a real match. Scanf also treats
whitespace as being elastic.  Note that the scanf format %[ is very useful
for scanning strings, and whitespace.
.PP
The editor also displays non\-us characters (160+).  When editing binary
files, you should set \fBdisplay bits\fP to 7 bits in the Midnight Commander
options menu to keep the spacing clean.
