Introduction

Welcome to Andys Editor. This editor was designed as a language configurable folding source code editor. A page describing the concepts involved is provided, and also a full list of all the editing primitives supported, with an index for speed.

This editor provides these features :-

• Folding, the ability to group lines into a larger 'meta-line'.
• Block operations.
• Yank and put model for line copying etc.
• Deleted item stack to allow multiple undeletes.
• Extended Regular Expression searching.
• Multiple buffers at any one time.
• Portability across many environments.
• Bracket matching.
• User configurable key binding.
• Shelling out to and filtering through operating system commands.
• The editor is relatively small for what it does.

This editor is a 'folding editor'. This is a highly useful feature. Once you have got used to the folding paradigm, you will not want to use a flat editor again!

Included is documentation on how to obtain, install, configure and run the editor. Also, an example of typical usage is included.
