MOE(1) moe 1.10 MOE(1) User Commands User Commands January 2019 NAME moe - My Own (text) Editor SYNOPSIS moe [,global_options/] [[,+line/[,,col/]] ,file_name /[,file_options/]]... DESCRIPTION GNU moe is a powerful, 8-bit clean, console text editor for ISO-8859 and ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly interface, online help, multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo capability, unlimited line length, unlimited buffers, global search/replace (on all buffers at once), block operations, automatic indentation, word wrapping, file name completion, directory browser, duplicate removal from prompt histories, delimiter matching, text conversion from/to UTF-8, romanization, etc. Moe can easily edit thousands of files at the same time. Moe uses ISO-8859-15 instead of UTF-8 because an 8-bit character set (combined with romanization if needed) can convey meaning safely and more efficiently than UTF-8 can. 'global_options' are a mix of editor options and default 'file_options'. Most long option names have a negative form '--backup' '--no-backup'. Each file name may be preceded by '+line[,column]' to start the cursor at the specified line and, optionally, column. 'line' and 'column' are applied to subsequent files until new values are specified for them. '-' used as a file name argument means standard input. Directories are recursively descended into. Editor options: -h, --help display this help and exit -V, --version output version information and exit -1, --orphan put extra files in orphaned buffers -b, --backup create backup files (default) -B, --no-backup don't create backup files - 1 - Formatted: December 7, 2024 MOE(1) moe 1.10 MOE(1) User Commands User Commands January 2019 -e, --exit-ask make save-and-close ask always for confirmation -H, --smart-home go home, then go to first non-blank character -i, --ignore-case make search case insensitive by default -k, --keep-lines=<n> number of lines to keep for PgUp/PgDn -m, --max-windows=<n> max number of windows to show at once -n, --indent-step=<n> number of spaces to add when indenting a block -s, --search-wrap make search wrap at end of file -u, --auto-unmark turn off highlighting after block copy or move -x, --rectangle rectangular block mode File options: -a, --auto-indent enable auto indent -l, --lmargin=<col> set left margin -r, --rmargin=<col> set right margin -o, --read-only make buffer read-only -O, --overwrite disable insert mode -w, --word-wrap enable word wrapping Exit status: 0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (file not found, invalid flags, I/O errors, etc), 2 to indicate a corrupt or invalid input file, 3 for an internal consistency error (eg, bug) - 2 - Formatted: December 7, 2024 MOE(1) moe 1.10 MOE(1) User Commands User Commands January 2019 which caused moe to panic.
