update: mined 2000.3 package available for SuSE Linux 8.0
An updated package of mined is available for SuSE Linux 8.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.0-i386/mined-2000.3-0.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.0-src/mined-2000.3-0.src.rpm Mined is a text editor, small and easy to use, yet powerful. It is Unicode-capable, using UTF-8 encoding (also converts UTF-16 input).
From the CHANGES file:
============================================================================= Changes from mined 2000.2 -> mined 2000.3 ========================================= Documentation: -------------- The manual page was updated and thoroughly revised. Its primary source was transformed into HTML, roff/man format being generated. The mined web pages were updated and revised. The file "doc/compilation" (with compilation hints) was updated. Features: --------- HOP '/' enters an indented Javadoc comment frame. Interface: ---------- Options can be concatenated on the command line. (mined -uu instead of mined -u -u enables Unicode line separators.) Right-to-left script input support is now enabled by default. The option -b toggles it. Option -G disables (actually toggles) the display of certain control characters as block graphics characters (enabled by default). Option +G enforces use of block graphics for display of menu borders. May be used if the "alternative character set" capability is not configured in your system but your terminal does have the capability. Set output delay (-d0..-d9) to none (-d-) by default in all versions. The help command was unified on Unix and DOS versions. Not completely, however, as calling a sub-programm ("less") through the "system" call doesn't seem to work on DOS (it crashes or blocks terminal input afterwards, even with cygwin). See also next comment. A second help viewing mode is now avaible (HOP HELP, e.g. HOP F1). It displays help information within mined itself, restoring the previous editing state afterwards. This is the default on MSDOS for the reason mentioned before. Bug fixes: ---------- Fixed a screen-related pointer confusion after replacement with multiple lines (embedded newline) which could result in a display bug and page down could be blocked. (Very minor) Just deleting the trailing line-end of a file is also considered a modification (a file only modified this way would previously not have been saved automatically). (Minor) With UTF-8 auto-detection involved, the character count after reading the file could be wrong (ESC ? would have been correct). (Minor) The pop-up menu, when modified with HOP and thus becoming smaller, used to leave the frame of its previous width on the screen. (Embarassing) Although I was proud of "perfect responsiveness to window size changes" I had just forgotten to implement that for the case of a menu being open. On DOS, editing a file with Unix line-ends, the function "append to buffer" used to append the lines with MSDOS line-ends. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

An editor that is small and easy to use but yet full of capabilities. Runs in plain text mode terminals. Supports Unicode. Provides mouse control and menus.
From the CHANGES file:
============================================================================= Changes from mined 2000.3 -> mined 2000.4 (Sep 2002) ========================================= Interface: ---------- Made use of advanced xterm mouse tracking modes. * Text select and copy with highlighting by mouse dragging. * Menu item browsing by mouse dragging. If the mouse button is kept down, items are automatically selected as the mouse is dragged over them. An item is selected by either clicking the left button or releasing the left or right button. It is also still possible to open and change menus with click-release, then select an item with another click (less finger-strain). A "non-break space" (character value A0 hex) is now displayed by a tiny middle dot (as used for TAB indication) in cyan colour. Syntax highlighting * Also toggled for .sgml files (as well as for .html/.htm, .xml, .jsp). * Extended to JSP and HTML comments. In order to avoid command confusion on slow remote connections where escape sequences might come in deferred, the following commands were changed: * Disabled ESC <n> <cmd> which repeated the command n times when <n> has only 1 digit (in that case the command might have been a function key escape sequence). Use ESC = <n> <cmd> instead, or use 2 or more digit repeat counts, e.g. ESC 77- (to enter 77 '-' characters) or ESC 07x (to enter 'xxxxxxx'). * Changed ESC O which inserted the octal value of the current character. Use ESC A instead. When inserting an HTML marker on the prompt line (commands ESC H, HOP ESC H) HTML tag attributes can be included; they are only inserted for the starting marker, not for the closing marker. The TAB width can be toggled between 8 and 4 while mined is running (command ESC T). Function keys of some terminals (esp. HP and Siemens) are ambiguous; the preferred key set to be detected can now be configured (environment variable MINEDTERM= xterm / hp / siemens). The ESC u command displays additional Unicode script information. The parentheses matching commands ESC ), ESC (, etc, now also match HTML tags. The character compose and input support function was revised. Accent prefix functions were extended to support Unicode. Additional mnemos were enabled, including TeX and HTML mnemos. Features: --------- Clever justification (auto-indentation): With the justification command ESC j, clever auto-indentation is applied. It uses heuristic detection of numbered items and program source comments. (The old justification function that only considers configured margins is available by ESC J.) A Back Tab function was added. A Backspace from a position that is only preceded by white space on the line will revert the input position to the previous matching indentation level. In both justification modes, automatic suppression of auto-indent applies by heuristic detection of the speed at which characters are entered. This is to allow unmodified pasting of text (using e.g. xterm mouse copy/paste). Checkout and checkin functions for version management systems added (to File menu, command scripts "co" and "ci" must exist in path). Introduced generic handling of shift state indication for function key escape sequences (control/shift/alt and combinations). No more "Unknown command" errors on unregistered function key variants. By default they invoke the same function as the unshifted key. The location of mined buffers can be configured with an additional environment variable MINEDTMP ([SYS$]MINEDTMP on VMS). This supports copy and paste operations among different machines. Bug fixes: ---------- Revised case conversion and other Unicode character property handling. Updated tables for wide and combining characters to new Unicode data. Fixed some display bugs: - Current line was cleared after prompt was aborted with mouse button. - Search/replace including linefeeds could mess up the screen. - Screen line could mess up on an incomplete UTF-8 sequence at the end of a line in UTF-8 text and screen mode. Fixed a bug with automatic line-wrap after entering space. Fixed some terminal size detection problems after rlogin from DOS. Under weird circumstances, the first empty line in a file not edited as the first one could produce display and buffer garbage on SunOS. Fixed some search pattern match bugs: - with empty lines - with replace and ^, starting in middle of a line (started replacement at that position, not at start of next line) - with ^, searching backwards (did not find in current line) Removed restriction of regular expressions with Unicode characters: search patterns ä* etc (UTF-8: ä*, â��* etc) do work now. Manual hints and clarifications: -------------------------------- A search pattern <pat>* matches a (zero or more times) repetition of this pattern. In a final position within the search expression, however, it matches one or more times this pattern. Hex input code ^V # xxxx <space or RET>: Works on the prompt line only in Unicode mode, exactly 4 hex digits are accepted but are not echoed on the screen. Improved description of special character input support in the manual. Added overview chapter on input support. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

From the CHANGES file:
============================================================================= Changes from mined 2000.4 -> mined 2000.5 (Dec 2002) ========================================= Feature: Keyboard mapping ------------------------- Keyboard mapping for various scripts is available in UTF-8 mode (both edited text and terminal must run UTF-8). This maps keyboard input characters or short character sequences to characters (or short sequences) in a different script. In this release, mappings for Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, and Hebrew have been integrated. An active and a standby keyboard mapping are maintained. They can be toggled quickly for text input with ESC k (or Alt-k), also on the prompt line (e.g. for searching). Command overview: ESC k toggles between active and standby keyboard mapping also on prompt line HOP ESC k resets keyboard mapping to none (unmapped input) ESC K opens the keyboard mapping menu also on prompt line HOP ESC K cycles through available keyboard mappings Note: As some typical keyboard mappings contain ambigous key sequences where one may be a prefix of another, a short delay is applied in these cases to allow recognition of any such sequence to be mapped. The current mapping is indicated by its two-letter script tag in the flags area (top screen line), clicking on it cycles through the available mappings (like HOP ESC K), clicking with the right button opens the Keyboard Mapping menu (like ESC K). With the environment variable MINEDKEYMAP the active or standby mapping can be preselected. The value is a two-letter script tag to set the active mapping, or it is prepended with "-" to set the standby mapping. Example: export MINEDKEYMAP=-gr will set Greek keyboard mapping standby. Known script tags are: ar -> Arabic gr -> Greek el -> Greek he -> Hebrew cy -> Cyrillic ru -> Cyrillic Options and further features ---------------------------- Bidirectional terminal support: To run mined on a bidirectional terminal (such as mlterm), disable the scrollbar with the option -o. In this mode, when displaying a menu, underlying text lines that contain right-to-left characters are cleared first in order to prevent display confusion between the terminal's bidi algorithm and the menu position. Mined's "poor man's bidirectional support" (which automatically places right-to-left characters to the left of the previous character) was disabled by default in order to support mined's operation with bidirectional terminals. Script colouring: For better recognition of letters that belong to a certain script (where similar looking letters may belong to other scripts), text display uses colours to distinguish letters of various scripts. This is preconfigured for Greek and Cyrillic (which share some letter forms with Latin). Compile-time configuration of further script colouring is available with the file colours.cfg; it contains entries with the script name (as listed in the Unicode data file Scripts.txt), white space, and a colour index into the xterm 256-colour mode. Two "flags menus" were introduced: * one for the Keyboard Mapping (as described above), * the other for Smart Quotes selection; it's popped up with the right mouse button on the smart quotes indication in the flags area; additional commands: ESC Q or Alt-Q: also pops up the Smart Quotes menu HOP ESC Q: cycles through available Smart Quotes When a pull-down menu is opened with the middle mouse button, the HOP version of its items is preselected (can be toggled with middle mouse button as before). -X disables display of the filename in the window title bar. Changed default of -G option (enabling display of control characters as block graphics) to be disabled. Flag indications were slightly tweaked in order to make them more intuitive. Bug fixes: ---------- Fixed a rare bug with ESC u on illegal UTF-8 characters. Clever justification now also considers the bullet sign as a numbering (list item) character. Back-TAB was tweaked not to apply directly below non-space text of the previous line. Fixed some bugs and inconsistent results with shortcuts for composed character input. Added composed character sequences for single-accented extended Latin characters. Extended diacritic transformation function (ESC _) to all two-letter composed characters as configured for input support. ============================================================================= -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

An [あ] too much Hello, I have installed 8.2Pro/OpenOffice1.02. Kinput2/Canna seems to run - at least, I can switch with Shift-Blanc into/out of Japanese Input. But after some times, I get an [あ] which persistently stays on top (Japanese input off/on doesn't matter) and mysteriously vanishes from time to time and comes back. See http://www.mkengel.de/linux/scrshot1.jpg and http://www.mkengel.de/linux/scrshot2.png How to get rid of this ? Thank you Michael

An [あ] too much
Hello, I have installed 8.2Pro/OpenOffice1.02. Kinput2/Canna seems to run - at least, I can switch with Shift-Blanc into/out of Japanese Input.
But after some times, I get an [あ] which persistently stays on top (Japanese input off/on doesn't matter) and mysteriously vanishes from time to time and comes back. See http://www.mkengel.de/linux/scrshot1.jpg and http://www.mkengel.de/linux/scrshot2.png
This [あ] is from some other KDE application, nor from OpenOffice. The input indicator in OpenOffice uses a wrong font and therfore only displays boxes. The input indicator in your scrshot2.png which is close to your writing position (after and below 日本語) is from OpenOffice. The other indicator above is from some KDE application. For example, if you open the KDE control centre and type Shift-Space somewhere anywhere in the KDE control centre you will get this [あ] indicator (you can do that anywhere, not necessarily over an input field, you can already do that over the start page of the KDE control centre). If you switch desktops or minimize the KDE control centre, this [あ] remains visible at it's former screen position. You can make it go away if you focus the KDE control centre again and type Shift-Space. In case of the KDE control centre it also goes away when you close the KDE control centre. But with some KDE applications you can't even close them. For example, if you klick on コマンドを実行... (probably "start command" in English or "Befehl ausführen" in German). in the start menu, you get the dialog box where you can enter a command. Type Shift-Space there and the [あ] appears. Now close this dialog by clicking on cancel or use the close button of the window manager. The [あ] remains. You can make it go away by starting the same dialog again and switching off Japanese input with Shift-Space. I.e. to make the [あ] go away, you have to find the KDE application where you switched on Japanese input, focus it again and switch Japanese input off in that application. Not that the desktop background in KDE is also a window and you can also switch on Japanese input on the desktop background. I don't know whether it is useful to be able to switch on Japanese input on the desktop background, but currently Shift-Space is possible on the desktop background. Looks like a bug in some KDE applications. It doesn't happen with all of them, for example in case of konsole the [あ] disappears when you minimize konsole and reappears when you make konsole visible again. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
