1. Introduction
This document describes the NMODE text editor. NMODE is an interactive,
multiple-window, screen-oriented editor written in PSL (Portable Standard
Lisp). NMODE provides a compatible subset of the EMACS text editor,
developed at M.I.T. It also contains a number of extensions, most notably an
interface to the underlying Lisp system for Lisp programmers.
NMODE was developed at the Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Computer Research
Center by Alan Snyder. A number of significant extensions have been
contributed by Jeff Soreff.
NMODE is based on an earlier editor, EMODE, written in PSL by William F.
Galway at the University of Utah. Many of the basic ideas and the
underlying structure of the NMODE editor come directly from EMODE.
This document is only partially complete, but is being reprinted at this time
for the benefit of new users that are not familiar with EMACS. The bulk of
this document has been borrowed from EMACS documentation and modified
appropriately in areas where NMODE and EMACS differ.

2. Action Types
This section defines a number of action types, which are used in the
descriptions of NMODE commands.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Alter Display Format
This type of command alters how text is displayed without altering the
contents of existing buffers.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Alter Existing Text
This type of command alters some part of the existing text, generally
transforming and/or moving text rather than just inserting or deleting it.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Change Mode
This type of command turns some feature(s) of the editor on or off. This
may include major modes, minor modes, timing, or scripting.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Escape
Escape from the current level.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Inform
This type of command informs the user of some property of the text being
worked with, or of the state of the editor (including where point is, what the
existing buffer(s) is(are), what is in the documentation, etc.).
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Insert Constant
This type of command inserts a character constant like tab or space or a
multiple thereof.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Move Data
This command copies some data (which is not a constant wired into the
program) from one place to another.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Move Point
This type of command moves point. It may move it within a buffer or from
buffer to buffer.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Preserve
Make a copy of something current and put it somewhere else (usually disc).
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Remove
This type of command allows a user to get rid of data, either killing or
deleting text or removing files or directory entries.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Select
This type of command finds particular strings in text, and may perform some
action upon them, such as counting, replacement, or deletion.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Set Global Variable
This type of command sets some global variable which tends to remain stable
for some time, such as prefix variables and key bindings.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Action Type Explanation: Subsequent Command Modifier
This type of command modifies the meaning of the keys that immediately follow
it, as the prefix commands and the argument commands do.

NMODE Manual - 9 - Definitions
3. Definitions
This section defines a number of terms used in the descriptions of NMODE
commands.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Definition: Defun
A defun is a list whose ( falls in column 0. Its end is after the CRLF
following its ).
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Definition: Paragraph
Paragraphs are delimited by blank lines and psuedo-blank lines, which are
lines which don't match the existing fill prefix (when there is one), and,
when in text mode, also by indentation and by text justifier command lines,
which are currently defined as lines starting with a period and which are
treated as another type of psuedo-blank line. Paragraphs contain the final
CRLF after their last test, and contain any immediately preceding empty line.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Definition: Region
The region is that portion of text between point, the current buffer position,
and mark.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Definition: Sentence
A sentence is ended by a ., ? or ! followed by two spaces or a CRLF (with
optional space), with any number of "closing characters" ", ', ) and ]
between. A sentence also starts at the start of a paragraph. A sentence
also ends at the end of a paragraph.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Definitions - 10 - NMODE Manual
NMODE Manual - 11 - Globals
4. Globals
This section defines a number of conceptual global variables, which are
referred to in the descriptions of NMODE commands. These globals represent
state information that can affect the behavior of various NMODE commands.
The value of NMODE globals are set as the result of various NMODE
commands.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Global Explanation: Fill Column
The fill column is the column beyond which all the fill commands: auto fill, fill
paragraph, fill region, and fill comment, will try to break up lines. The fill
column can be set by the Set Fill Column command.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Global Explanation: Fill Prefix
The fill prefix, if present, is a string that the fill paragraph and fill region
commands expect to see on the areas that they are filling. It is useful, for
instance, in filling indented text. Only the indented area will be filled, and
any new lines created by the filling will be properly indented. Autofill will
also insert it on each new line it starts.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Global Explanation: Goal Column
This is not yet correctly implemented
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Global Explanation: Kill Ring
The kill ring is a stack of the 16 most recently killed pieces of text. The
Insert Kill Buffer command reads text on the top of the kill ring and inserts
it back into the buffer. It can accept an argument, specifying an argument
other than the top one. If one knows that the text one wants is on the kill
ring, but is not certain how deeply it is buried, one can retrieve the top
item with the Insert Kill Buffer command, then look through the other items
one by one with the Unkill Previous command. This rotates the items on the
kill ring, displaying them one by one in a cycle.
Most kill commands push their text onto the top of the kill ring. If two kill
commands are performed right after each other, the text they kill is
concatenated. Commands the kill forward add onto the end of the previously
killed text. Commands that kill backward add onto the beginning. That way,
the text is assembled in its original order. If intervening commands have
taken place one can issue an Append Next Kill command before the next kill
in order to assemble the next killed text together with the text on top of the
kill ring.

5. Command Descriptions
This section defines the basic NMODE commands. Each command description
includes the following information:
command A descriptive name of the command.
function The name of the Lisp function that implements the command.
key The logical keys on the keyboard that normally have this command
attached to them. A logical key includes ordinary keys such as
Tab or Rubout, shifted keys using the Control and/or Meta
modifiers (e.g., C-F, M-F, and C-M-F), prefixed commands using
C-X, C-], or Escape (e.g., C-X C-F, C-] E, and Esc-L), and
extended commands using Meta-X (e.g., M-X Delete Matching
Lines).
action type One of a number of descriptive terms that categorize the behavior
of commands. Action types are defined in Chapter 2.
mode Some commands are defined only in certain modes. If present,
this attribute specifies the mode or modes in which the command
is normally defined.
topic A keyword that describes the command. Topics are listed in the
Topic Index, Chapter 9.

Action Type: Move Point
Action Type: Select
Search for character string as you type it. C-Q quotes special characters.
Rubout cancels last character. C-S repeats the search, forward, and C-R
repeats it backward. C-R or C-S with search string empty changes the
direction of search or brings back search string from previous search.
Altmode exits the search. Other Control and Meta chars exit the search and
then are executed. If not all the input string can be found, the rest is not
discarded. You can rub it out, discard it all with C-G, exit, or use C-R or
C-S to search the other way. Quitting a successful search aborts the search
and moves point back; quitting a failing search just discards whatever input
wasn't found.

Action Type: Change Mode
This function prompts the user for a buffer name, into which it will copy all
the user's commands (as well as executing them) until the
stop-scripting-command is invoked. This command supercedes any such
previous request. Note that to keep the lines of reasonable length, free
Newlines will be inserted from time to time. Because of this, and because
many file systems cannot represent stray Newlines, the Newline character is
itself scripted as a CR followed by a TAB, since this is its normal definition.
Someday, perhaps, this hack will be replaced by a better one.
