This manual page documents briefly the fte.
Some detailed documentation is available html format, see
below.
fte is a powerful text editor which closely resembles
Borlands programming editors for M$-DOS, but is far more flexible and
configurable.
fte uses a command line syntax, which is a little bit
different from most of Debian GNU/Linux apps.
- -h -? --help
- Help on command line options.
- -!
- Ignore any external configuration file and use internal
configuration.
- -l<line>[,<column>]
- Go to line (and column) in next file on command line.
- -#<line>[<,column>]
- Same as -l. Do not use this option.
- -m[<mode>]
- Set mode for next files to <mode>. If just plain -m, then use
default mode.
- -C[<.cnf>]
- Use specified configuration file (compiled). Plain -C does the same
as -!.
- -D[<.dsk>]
- Load/save desktop from file <.dsk>. If no argument, disable desktop
load/save.
- -H[<.his>]
- Load/save history from file <.his>. If no argument, disable history
load/save.
- -T<tagfile>
- Load 'tagfile' at startup.
- -t<tag>
- Lookup tag 'tag' and display file containing it.
- --
- The rest of the arguments are not options, but filenames.
- -+
- The next argument is not an option even if starting with a '-'. Useful
when loading files that begin with a -.
- -noi18n
- Do not use locales in xfte - useful if you have incorrect
locales.
- -noxmb
- Do not use XMB functions in xfte - useful if you have incorrect
locales and you want to use just english fonts.
- -font
- Select XWindow font to use with xfte. See VIOFONT also.
- fte -mBIN /usr/bin/vfte
- load /usr/bin/vfte in BIN mode
- fte -mBIN -+ -bla-
- load file -bla- in BIN mode
- fte -l100,30 win.c
- go to (100,30) in win.c
- fte
window.cpp
- load file window.cpp
- fte -- -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6
- load files -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6
- fte -D -H fte.dsk fte.his
- disable desktop and history loading and saving and load files fte.dsk and
fte.his
