Brief Emulation
Epsilon can emulate the
Brief text editor. The brief-keyboard command loads a
Brief-style keyboard map. To undo this change, you can use the
epsilon-keyboard command, which restores the standard keyboard
configuration. This command only modifies those key combinations
that Brief uses. Other keys retain their Epsilon definition. The
Brief key map appears in the table.
In this release, Epsilon doesn't emulate a few parts of Brief. The
separate commands for toggling case folding and regular expressions
are not present, but you can type Ctrl-C and Ctrl-T within any searching
command to toggle those things. Regular expressions follow Epsilon's
syntax, not Brief's. Brief's commands for loading and saving
keyboard macro files aren't implemented, since Epsilon lets you have
an unlimited number of macros loaded at once, not just one. Epsilon
will beep if you press the key of an unimplemented Brief emulation
command.
In Brief, the shifted arrow keys normally switch windows. But
Epsilon adopts the Windows convention that shifted arrow keys select
text. In Brief mode, the Alt-arrow keys on the separate cursor pad
may be used to switch windows.
You can make Epsilon's display resemble Brief's display using the
set-display-look command. See Window Borders.
