Initialization file for JOE
Standard Joe
JOE looks for this file in:
1 - $HOME/.joerc
2 - /etc/joe/joerc
This file can include other files by placing the following include command
in the first column:
:include filename
FIRST SECTION: Default global options (these options can also be specified
on the command line. Also the NOXON, LINES, COLUMNS, DOPADDING and BAUD
options can be specified in environment variables):
Put each option you want set in the first column:
-option Sets the option
--option Clears the option
-help_is_utf8 Set if help text is in UTF-8 format. Leave clear if it's a raw 8-bit format.
-mid Cursor is recentered when scrolling is necessary
-left nn Amount to jump left when scrolling is necessary (-1 for 1/4 width)
-right nn Amount to jump right when scrolling is necessary (-1 for 1/4 width)
-marking Text between ^KB and cursor is highlighted (use with -lightoff)
-asis Characters 128 - 255 shown as-is
-force Force final newline when files are saved
-nolocks If you don't want file locks to be used
-nomodcheck Disable periodic checking of disk file newer than buffer
(this checking happens on save even with this option).
-nocurdir Do not prompt with current directory
-nobackups If you don't want backup files to be created
-nodeadjoe If you don't want DEADJOE files to be created
-break_hardlinks
Delete file before writing, to break hard links
(but don't break symbolic links).
-break_links
Delete file before writing, to break hard links
and symbolic links.
-lightoff Turn off highlighting after block copy or move
-exask ^KX always confirms file name
-beep Beep on errors and when cursor goes past extremes
-nosta Disable top-most status line
-keepup %k and %c status line escape sequences updated frequently
-pg nnn No. lines to keep for PgUp/PgDn
-undo_keep nnn Number of undo records to keep. 0 for infinite.
-csmode ^KF after a pervious search does a ^L instead
-backpath path
Directory to store backup files (one space between
'backpath' and the 'path', no trailing spaces or comments
after the path).
-floatmouse Clicking past end of line moves the cursor past the end
-rtbutton Use the right mouse button for action, instead of the left
-nonotice Disable copyright notice
-noexmsg Disable exiting message ("File not changed so no update needed")
-noxon Attempt to turn off ^S/^Q processing
-orphan Put extra files given on command line in orphaned buffers
instead of in windows
-dopadding Output pad characters (for when there is no tty handshaking)

-baud nnn Set baud rate for terminal optimizations
-columns nnn Set no. screen columns
-helpon Start with help on
-skiptop nnn Don't use top nnn lines of the screen
-notite Don't send terminal initialization and termination strings:
prevents restoration of screen on exit.
-nolinefeeds Prevent sending linefeeds to preserve screen history in terminal
emulator's scroll-back buffer.
-usetabs Use tabs to help optimize screen update.
-assume_color Assume terminal has ANSI color support even if termcap/terminfo entry
says that it doesn't. This only applies if the terminal otherwise
looks like an ANSI terminal (support bold and capability starts with
ESC [).
-assume_256color
Assume terminal has xterm 256 color support (ESC [ 38 ; 5 ; NNN m and
ESC [ 48 ; 5 ; NNN m).
-guess_non_utf8 Allow guess of non-UTF-8 file encoding in a UTF-8 locale.
-guess_utf8 Allow guess of UTF-8 file encoding in non-UTF-8 locale.
-guess_utf16 Allow guess of UTF-16 encoding

-guess_indent Guess indent character (tab or space).
-menu_above Position menu/list above prompt when enabled. Otherwise position
below prompt.
-transpose Transpose rows with columns in all menus.
-menu_explorer Stay in menu system when a directory is selected (otherwise
directory is added to path and menu is closed).
-menu_jump Jump into file selection menu when tab is hit (otherwise, menu
comes up, but cursor stays in file name prompt).
-notagsmenu Disable tags file search menu
-icase Search is case insensitive by default.
-wrap Search wraps
-autoswap Swap markb with markk when necessary
-joe_state Use ~/.joe_state file
-mouse Enable xterm mouse support. When enabled, left-click will
position the cursor and left-click-drag will select blocks
For normal xterm cut and paste, hold the shift key down.
-joexterm If you are using XTerm version 212 or higher, and if it was
configured with --enable-paste64, set this flag: it allows
mouse cut & paste to work properly (text selected with the
mouse can be pasted into other application, and middle
button clicks paste into JOE).
-brpaste When JOE starts, send command to the terminal emulator that
enables "bracketed paste mode" (but only if the terminal
seems to have the ANSI command set). In this mode, text
pasted into the window is bracketed with ESC [ 2 0 0 ~ and
ESC [ 2 0 1 ~.
-pastehack If keyboard input comes in as one block assume it's a mouse
paste and disable autoindent and wordwrap.
-square Rectangular block mode
-colors scheme
Set the default color scheme
-restore Restore previous cursor position when files are opened
-search_prompting
Search prompts with previous search request.
-regex Search uses standard regular expression format (otherwise it uses
JOE format where all special characters have to be escaped).
Status line definition strings. -lmsg defines the left-justified string and
-rmsg defines the right-justified string. The first character of -rmsg is
the background fill character. The following escape sequences can be used
in these strings:
%t 12 hour time
%u 24 hour time
%T O for overtype mode, I for insert mode
%W W if wordwrap is enabled
%I A if autoindent is enabled
%X Rectangle mode indicator
%n File name
%m '(Modified)' if file has been changed
%* '*' if file has been changed
%R Read-only indicator
%r Row (line) number
%c Column number
%o Byte offset into file
%O Byte offset into file in hex
%a Ascii value of character under cursor
%A Ascii value of character under cursor in hex
%w Width of character under cursor
%p Percent of file cursor is at
%l No. lines in file
%k Entered prefix keys
%S '*SHELL*' if there is a shell running in window
%M Macro recording message
%y Syntax
%e Encoding of file
%b Encoding of terminal
%x Context (first non-indented line going backwards)
%dd day
%dm month
%dY year
%Ename% value of environment variable
%Zname% value of option (ON or OFF for boolean options)
(hit TAB at mode command prompt for full list)
These formatting escape sequences may also be given:
\i Inverse
\u Underline
\b Bold
\d Dim
\f Blink
\l Italic
-lmsg \i%k%T%W%I%X %n %m%y%R %M %x
-rmsg %S Row %4r Col %3c
-smsg ** Line %r Col %c Offset %o(0x%O) %e %a(0x%A) Width %w **
-zmsg ** Line %r Col %c Offset %o(0x%O) **
-xmsg \i Joe's Own Editor %v (%b) ** Type \bCtrl-K Q\b to exit or \bCtrl-K H\b for help **\i
Key sequence hints which are displayed in various prompts.
-aborthint ^C
-helphint ^K H
SECOND SECTION: File name dependant local option settings:
Name a file type definition section with:
[python] (but put opening bracket in first column)
Each line with '*' in the first column provides a file name matching
regular expression (in shell glob format). If more than one regular
expression matches the file name, then the last matching one is chosen.
A file contents regular expression may also be specified on a separate line
with '+regex'. If this regular expresssion is given, then both the file name
regex and the file contents regex must match for the options to apply.
Here are the modes which can be set:
-cpara >#!;*/%
Characters which can indent paragraphs.
-cnotpara .
Characters which begin non-paragraph lines.
-encoding name
Set file coding (for example: utf-8, iso-8859-15)
-syntax name
Specify syntax (syntax file called
'name.jsf' will be loaded)
-hex Hex editor mode
-highlight Enable highlighting
-smarthome Home key first moves cursor to beginning of line,
then if hit again, to first non-blank character.
-indentfirst Smart home goes to first non-blank character first,
instead of going the beginning of line first.
-smartbacks Backspace key deletes 'istep' number of
'indentc's if cursor is at first non-space
character.
-tab nnn Tab width
-indentc nnn Indentation character (32 for space, 9 for tab)
-istep nnn Number of indentation columns
-spaces TAB inserts spaces instead of tabs.
-purify Fix indentation if necessary for rindent, lindent and backs
(for example if indentation uses a mix of tabs and spaces,
and indentc is space, indentation will be converted to all
spaces).
-crlf File uses CR-LF at ends of lines
-wordwrap Wordwrap
-nobackup If you don't want backup file to be created
-autoindent Auto indent
-overwrite Overtype mode
-picture Picture mode (right arrow can go past end of lines)
-lmargin nnn Left margin
-rmargin nnn Right margin
-flowed Put one space after intermediate paragraph lines
for support of flowed text.
-french One space after '.', '?' and '!' for wordwrap
and paragraph reformat instead of two. Joe
does not change the spacing you give, but
sometimes it must put spacing in itself. This
selects how much is inserted.
-linums Enable line numbers on each line
-hiline Highlight current line
-rdonly File is read-only
-keymap name
Keymap to use if not 'main'
-lmsg Status line definition strings-
-rmsg see previous section for more info.
-mfirst macro
Macro to execute on first modification
-mnew macro
Macro to execute when new files are loaded
-mold macro
Macro to execute when existing files are loaded
-msnew macro
Macro to execute when new files are saved
-msold macro
Macro to execute when existing files are saved
Macros for the above options are in the same format as in the key
binding section below- but without the key name strings.
These define the language syntax for ^G (goto matching delimiter):
-highlighter_context Use the highlighter context for ^G
-single_quoted Text between ' ' should be ignored (this is
not good for regular text since ' is
normally used alone as an apostrophe)
-no_double_quoted Text between " " should not be ignored (useful
for TeX).
-c_comment Text between /* */ should be ignored
-cpp_comment Text after // should be ignored
-pound_comment Text after # should be ignored
-vhdl_comment Text after -- should be ignored
-semi_comment Text after ; should be ignored
-text_delimiters begin=end:if=elif=else=endif
Define word delimiters
Default local options
-highlight
-istep 4
Perforce macro: use this macro (put in first column) to have joe "p4 edit"
a file you're about to change.
-mfirst if,"rdonly && joe(sys,\"p4 edit \",name,rtn)",then,mode,"o",msg,"executed \"p4 edit ",name,"\"",rtn,endif
-mfirst if,"rdonly && joe(sys,\"p4 edit \",name,rtn)",then,reload,msg,"executed \"p4 edit ",name,"\"",rtn,endif
File type table is now in a separate file. You can copy this file to ~/.joe and customize it.
:include ftyperc
SECOND and 1/2 SECTION: Option menu layout
:defmenu name [macro]
Defines a menu.
The macro here is executed when the user hits backspace.
macro string comment
A menu entry. Macro is any JOE macro- see "Macros:"
below. String is the label to be used for the macro
in the menu. It is in the same format as the -lmsg
and -rmsg options above.
Two whitespace characters in a row begins a comment.
Use '% ' for a leading space in the string.

THIRD SECTION: Named help screens:
Use \i to turn on/off inverse video
Use \u to turn on/off underline
Use \b to turn on/off bold
Use \d to turn on/off dim
Use \f to turn on/off flash
Use \l to turn on/off italic
Use \| to insert a spring: all springs in a given line are set to the same
width such that the entire line exactly fits in the width of the screen (if
it's not an exact multiple so that there are N spaces remaining, the
rightmost N springs each get one extra space). Hint: if you want vertical
alignment, each line should have the same number of springs.
Use the '-help_is_utf8' global option to allow UTF-8 sequences in the help
text. Otherwise, the locale 8-bit character set is assumed.

FOURTH SECTION: Key bindings:
Section names you must provide:
:main For editing window
:prompt For prompt lines
:query For single-character query lines
:querya Singe-character query for quote
:querysr Search & Replace single-character query
:shell For shell windows
:vtshell For terminal emulator windows
Other sections may be given as well for organization purposes or for
use with the '-keymap' option.
Use:
:inherit name To copy the named section into the current one
:delete key To delete a key sequence from the current section
Keys:
Use U+12345 for specific unicode character
Use ^@ through ^_ and ^? for Ctrl chars
Use SP for space
Use a TO b to generate a range of characters
Use MDOWN, MDRAG, MUP, M2DOWN, M2DRAG, M2UP, M3DOWN, M3DRAG, M3UP for mouse
Use MWDOWN, MWUP for wheel mouse motion
Use ^# for 0x9B (for Amiga). But warning: this breaks UTF-8 keyboards.
You can also use termcap string capability names. For example:
.ku Up
.kd Down
.kl Left
.kr Right
.kh Home
.kH End
.kI Insert
.kD Delete
.kP PgUp
.kN PgDn
.k1 - .k9 F1 - F9
.k0 F0 or F10
.k; F10
Macros:
Simple macros can be made by comma seperating 2 or more command names. For
example:
eof,bol ^T Z Goto beginning of last line
Also quoted matter is typed in literally:
bol,">",dnarw .k1 Quote news article line
Macros may cross lines if they end with ,
Commands or named macros may be created with :def. For example, you can
use:
:def foo eof,bol
To define a command foo which will goto the beginning of the last line.
Recenter

Here we guess some common key sequences which either do not have termcap
sequences or which are frequently wrong. Note that if the termcap entry is
correct, it will override these later on.
