This page collects some tips for working more efficiently with an acme-like program.
http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~oz/wily/idioms.html wily is a unix port of just acme which rarely gets updated. It has a few differences, mostly in the direction of being more unixy. I used it for 5 years before switching wholly over to plan9port. Probably its greatest advantage to me now is that it's small and compiles easy to any platform I've tried: Linux, Solaris, even Cygwin. So I tend to load it on machines I will be on only briefly, to avoid having to use vi or emacs. Jason Catena
