DESCRIPTION
NEdit is a standard GUI (Graphical User Interface) style text editor for programs and
plain-text files. It provides mouse based editing and a streamlined editing style, based
on popular Macintosh and MS Windows editors, for users of X workstations and X terminals.
OPTIONS
-read
Open the file read-only regardless of the actual file protection.
-create
Don't warn about file creation when a file doesn't exist.
-line n, +n
Go to line number n.
-server
Designate this session as an NEdit server, for processing commands from the nc(1)
program. nc(1) can be used to interface NEdit to code development environments,
mailers, etc., or just as a quick way to open files from the shell command line
without starting a new NEdit session.
-do command
Execute an NEdit macro or action on the file following the -do argument on the command
line. -do is particularly useful from the nc(1) program, where `nc -do' can remotely
execute commands in an nedit -server session.
-tags file
Load a file of directions for finding definitions of program subroutines and data
objects. The file must be of the format generated by Exuberant Ctags, or the standard
Unix ctags(1) command.
-tabs n
Set tab stops every n characters.
-wrap, -nowrap
Wrap long lines at the right edge of the window rather than continuing them past it.
(Continuous Wrap mode)
-autowrap, -noautowrap
Wrap long lines when the cursor reaches the right edge of the window by inserting
newlines at word boundaries. (Auto Newline Wrap mode)
-autoindent, -noautoindent
Maintain a running indent.
-autosave, -noautosave
Maintain a backup copy of the file being edited under the name ~filename (on Unix) or
_filename (on VMS).
-lm languagemode
Initial language mode used for editing succeeding files.
-rows n
Default height in characters for an editing window.
-columns n
Default width in characters for an editing window.
-font font, -fn font
Font for text being edited. Font for menus and dialogs can be set with -xrm
"*fontList:font".
-geometry geometry, -g geometry
The initial size and/or location of editor windows. The argument geometry has the
form:
[<width>x<height>][+|-][<xoffset>[+|-]<yoffset>]
where C`<width>' and "<height>" are the desired width and height of the window, and
<xoffset> and C`<yoffset>' are the distance from the edge of the screen to the window,
+ for top or left, - for bottom or right. -geometry can be specified for individual
files on the command line.
-iconic, -noiconic
Initial window state for succeeding files.
-display [host]:server[.screen]
The name of the X server to use. host specifies the machine, server specifies the
display server number, and screen specifies the screen number. host or screen can be
omitted and default to the local machine, and screen 0.
-background color, -bg color
Background color. The background color for text can be set separately with -xrm
"nedit*text.background: color".
-foreground color, -fg color
Foreground color. The foreground color for text can be set separately with -xrm
"nedit*text.foreground: color".
-xrm resourcestring
Set the value of an X resource to override a default value.
-svrname name
When starting nedit in server mode, name the server, such that it responds to requests
only when nc(1) is given a corresponding -svrname argument. By naming servers, you can
run several simultaneously, and direct files and commands specifically to any one.
Specifying a non-empty name automatically designates this session as an NEdit server,
as though -server were specified.
-import file
Loads an additional preferences file on top of the existing defaults saved in your
nedit.rc file. To incorporate macros, language modes, and highlight patterns and
styles written by other users, run nedit with -import <file>, then re-save your
nedit.rc file with Preferences->Save Defaults.
-tabbed
Open all subsequent files in new tabs. Resets -group option.
-untabbed
Open all subsequent files in new windows. Resets -group option.
-group
Open all subsequent files as tabs in a new window.
-V, -version
Prints version and build information, to be mentioned when reporting bugs and
problems.
-h, -help
Prints the command line help and then exits.
-- Treats all subsequent arguments as file names, even if they start with a dash. This
is so NEdit can access files that begin with the dash character.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY
NEdit requires an X-based workstation or X-Terminal. If you have used telnet or
rlogin to access the host Unix system, set the Unix environment variable for your
display:
csh-type shells:
% setenv DISPLAY devicename:0
sh-type shells:
% DISPLAY=devicename:0 && export DISPLAY
NEDIT_HOME
This environment variable can be set to the name of a directory. This directory will
then be used instead of `$HOME/.nedit' as the base directory for NEdit's special files
(see section FILES, below).
This variable is new to NEdit 5.4.
