some examples..

You would like to be able to write you own commands?
so that you for instance could bind RI to the F1 key.. and
when pressed it extracted the text below the cursor, and
used RI to get help.

Setup you own execution command.. so F9 runs the
content of the buffer. Depending on which language it
is.. it runs the right compilers/interpretors.


I am wondering how the configuration file should be like
in order to allow such bindings.. suggestions are welcome.

mode :ruby do |m|
	m.tabsize = 2
	m.file_suffixes = %w(rb rbx Rakefile)
	m.lexer = :ruby
	m.cursor_through_tabs = true
	m.on_help do |context|
		str = context.current_line
		system("ri #{str}")
	end
	m.on_execute do |context|
		filename = context.buffer_absolute_filename
		system("ruby #{filename}")
	end
end



Im happy you like AEditor.. Thanks.
