GNU moe is a console text editor for ISO-8859 and ASCII character encodings.
It has a modeless, user-friendly interface, online help, multiple windows,
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. The file size, line length, number of
buffers, and undo/redo capability are only limited by the amount of memory
available and the size of the address space of your machine.
Moe respects your work. By default it won't automatically add, change, or
remove a single byte in your files. Moe is a WYTIWYG (what you type is what
you get) editor.
Moe can easily edit thousands of files at the same time.
Usage: moe [global_options] [[+[line[,col]]] file_name [file_options]]...
'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 line, and optionally column, specified. 'line' and 'column' are
applied to subsequent files until new values are specified for them.
A '+' alone puts the cursor at end-of-buffer.
A hyphen '-' 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
-b, --backup create backup files (default)
-B, --no-backup don't create backup files
-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
-p, --preserve-links preserve (don't break) links when saving files
-s, --search-wrap make search wrap at end of file
-u, --auto-unmark turn off highlighting after any block operation
-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
-W, --no-word-wrap disable word wrapping
-2, --two-spaces make reformat put two spaces after period
*Exit status*
0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (invalid command-line
options, I/O errors, etc), 2 to indicate an invalid or unreadable input
file, 3 for an internal consistency error (e.g., bug) which caused moe to
panic.
