Description GNU Moe is a powerful, 8-bit clean, 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, 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, etc. Moe tries to rationalize the keyboard commands. The <Alt> key is used for harmless commands like cursor movements and scrolling. The <Control> key is used for more "dangerous" commands like copying text blocks, deleting lines, or exiting. The <Tab> key is used for file name completion and also shows/hides the directory browser when Moe asks for a file name to save or load. In any case, the unlimited undo/redo capability of Moe makes very difficult to accidentally cause an irreparable damage to your files. Moe uses the function keys, so that the most frequent commands can be issued with only one finger. The function key <F1> shows the online help, and <F10> allows you to change the options. Believe it or not, this paragraph and some experience with text editors is all you need to use Moe just as well as an expert. Forget about `learning curves'; there is nothing to learn. To have Moe used as your default editor you need to set the environment variables "EDITOR=moe" and/or "VISUAL=moe" in your shell initialization file ($HOME/.profile if you are using bash). Moe needs a screen size of at least 24 lines by 80 columns. Take this into account if runing it from a terminal emulator.
