@@ -235,6 +235,10 @@ address expression (`#0,#5`, `/pattern/`, `2+1`); `addr` selects what `data` and `xdata` read or replace, `dot` is the editor's own selection and moving it scrolls the pane into view, and `limit` bounds a search and reads empty until it is set. Truncating a range file empties it; truncating `limit` lifts it. +Truncating `data` or `xdata` deletes the range `addr` names and nothing +else, so a shell's `echo NEW > data` replaces that range, `: > data` +deletes it, and `>>` inserts at it; only truncating `body` empties the +whole buffer. `addr` belongs to the pane rather than to a client and keeps what was written until someone writes or truncates it, so writing an address and reading it back evaluates it, which is what acme(4) promises of its own `addr`. |
