===== Q notes=====

Up on github at https://github.com/duncan-roe/q

Called Q because of its versatile q command

Unremarkable editor greatly enhanced by its macro facility

Command-line based, command lines can themselves be edited

Most control characters do something

Tries to resolve the "tabs or spaces" dilemna

Case-independent

Has concept of "tokens"

(Start q ~/q/TODO, describe macro loading & symlink res'n)
(Leave TODO up for adding stuff)
(insert request for macro catalogue)

Uses mmap / deferred file read

Binary mode

Might like to set xterm option "Delete is DEL" from menu
or put "xterm*vt100.deleteIsDEL:  true" in .Xresources

Massages commands for minimal typing

Macros introduced by Control-N (^N).

Macros in range 0 to 03777 except pseudo-macros '@' to '~' (including alphabet
which is case-insensitive)

"Active pseudo-macros" in range 04000 - 07777 (only a few implemented so far)

(Run through some macros I find useful: ^N^K ^N^N ^N^I/^N^H ^N^E/^N^L ^N^W[pqr]
 ^N^V/^N^Q (& fm+h) ^N^W^G (needs runindent) ^N^W^F ^N^W^X ...)
