Summary of acme chords

[Brian Vito]

I've put together a rudimentary chart of acme chords -- if anyone has
any suggestions, revisions, corrections, etc., they would be greatly
appreciated. Eventually the chart will form part of an introduction to
acme for non-programmers.

Thanks I appreciate this!

Aren't all of the chords in the acme paper and/or man page?

Now, the sam language quick reference card that one 9fan composed long
ago... THAT is a great little thing to have handy. I printed it out but
removed the file so I don't have a link handy.

Usually I am all about the written word, but the chart made chording
significantly easier to integrate, brain-wise .. just to screw around I
made a nroff document about it, my first ever .. (what a pain in the .. to
make table like data, couldn't find a tag for it anyway)

Use tbl.

The acme paper isn't as descriptive as the man page on the subject.
There is a section for individual mouse buttons and a dedicated section
for chording (keep going down...). Some of the subtle nuances are
explained. In my opinion this needs to really be read over a few times
until you've got it.
I think the same man page is in p9p but I wouldn't know (in fact I
suppose there are differences? -- maybe not in the chording bit).

I like it, but new users should probably be made aware that button 3
officially plumbs text. Search only happens if the plumb fails, I'm not
sure of the exact semantics.
