Brief reference doc



Attached, I hope, is xyscript-ref.txt It's a minimalist reference document for XyScript.


It probably needs more work. Here's a sample, from the top of the file down a few lines:



XyScript one-line reference (from reference.pdf)

Slash = synonyms. [S] = an S-suffixed form opens the picker shown at line end. (cf. X) = correlated command.


==================== COMMANDS ====================


? / HELP Search reference + manual (cf. REF, MAN)

AB Abandon buffer; /V asks to save

ABD Delete file and close buffer

ADDAR file Merge auto-replace pairs (cf. LOADAR)

ADDKBD name file Load .kbd into resident slot (cf. KBDMODE)

ADDLIB file Merge .lib into loaded library (cf. LOADLIB)

ADDSUM Add number at caret to running total (cf. CLRSUM, PUTSUM)

ANSICOLOR on|off Color Console output from ANSI codes

APPEND Append selection to clipboard (cf. PREPEND)

AR Auto-replace word behind caret

ATTACH path Stage attachment for SENDMAIL; bare lists (cf. CLEARATTACH)

AUTOCFG [off] Live config tracking

AUTOREOPEN on|off Reload file changed on disk

AUTOSAVE n Autosave interval, secs; 0 off

BALPAIRS on|off Matched-bracket highlighting

BALPAIRSCOLOR [S] Bracket-highlight color [color-picker]

BC [text] Blank CMline, optionally put literal text on it

BD Backspace Delete (cf. RC)


Maybe it should use tabs instead of multiple spaces, but I don't know how to insert a hex 09 into a XyScript file (searching for "tab" yielded too many hits, because "tab" also means the file-folder-like tabs across the top when multiple files are open).
