File Enhancements in Epsilon 11
- Epsilon's dired-mode now offers a Live Link feature, in
which it keeps a second window updated with the file mentioned on the
current line, as you move around in the dired listing. Press
lowercase L in dired to try it. Dired also handles symbolic links
under Unix better.
- The find-file command and others now recognize when two
files are the same but with different names (due to hard or symbolic
links under Unix, for instance).
- Epsilon now recognizes a limited number of
"file variables". These are
specially-formatted lines at the top or bottom of a file that indicate
the file should use a particular language mode or tab size. For
example, you can put
-*- mode: VBasic -*- on the first line of a
file to force Epsilon to Visual Basic mode, or write -*- tab-size:
3 -*- to make Epsilon use that tab size setting.
- The Ctrl-<Tab> key now switches
between buffers, not windows. It operates similarly to the
Alt-<Tab> function in Microsoft Windows, cycling through the
buffers from most recent to least recent on each press of <Tab> as
long as you hold down Ctrl. Hold down Shift as well to move in the
reverse order. You can press Ctrl-g to abort and return to the
original buffer. The command on Ctrl-<Tab> as of Epsilon 10,
switch-windows, is still available for those who prefer that
function on this key.
- If you provide a directory name to the grep command, it
will search all the files within. Grep now modifies mode lines while
it prompts so they display the full path of each file. A new variable
grep-default-directory lets you alter how Epsilon interprets
relative file paths. And grep no longer stops at a prompt if an error
occurs while reading a file.
