This doesn't work for me on AcmeSAC 0.24 (OS X 10.4.9). `Look' does not seem to care about whether it is executed with an argument or not. If I have some selected text in the body, and I execute Look, the highlight jumps. However, if no text is selected in the body, executing `Look' with an argument (either by chording or select-middle) doesn't produce any results. Cheers, -- Anant

Re: [9fans] Acme SAC for OS X Version 0.24
there is a bug in inferno acme where exec of 'Look hello' ignores the arg 'hello'. i changed the acme-sac code to match p9p. i guess all this time i've always used 3-1 mouse chord to Look.

Look never moves the pointer. russ

I pass russ's test with flying colors on OSX (native acme from p9p), and Plan 9. i can't get the extra mouse buttons to work on the X11 acme :) now, if you want something a bit more difficult, try opening a file named "test(1).txt" from within acme :) it's not exactly trivial.

Re: [9fans] Acme SAC for OS X Version 0.24
For some reason, then, Look is ignoring its argument on both OS X and Plan 9. Acme SAC works right on OS X using your directions.

Re: [9fans] Acme SAC for OS X Version 0.24
Look needs a context in which to search. the context is an acme window, so you'll either need to select a text in an acme window and execute the Look command *in the banner for that window* or you'll need to type the text behind the Look command in the same window again. you'll need to have some text in that window in order to search through it. clicking selected text (or a word) with the third mouse button will do exactly the same as look if the text does not appear to be a file name. the documentation is good for explaining what everything does, trust Russ. the initial environment that glenda starts up with is a good sandbox to play with acme. try typing "acme" and "acme(1)" in the same window in acme. try right-clicking the text "acme(1)" and see what it does. now try middle-clicking it and see what it does. here's what the documentation says: Look: Search in body for occurrence of literal text indicated by the argument or, if none is given, by the selected text in the body.
