03:44:57 ##forth <vms14> I'm trying to implement forth's editor words

03:45:00 ##forth <vms14> https://i.imgur.com/LTV4tlQ.png

03:45:34 ##forth <vms14> I have the find and insert buffers, I t and f

03:45:39 ##forth <vms14> I have to add the rest

03:46:01 ##forth <vms14> they work with files instead though

03:49:26 ##forth <vms14> I could make it so if you give it a number as a file name it works with blocks which would be some random file anyways

03:55:59 ##forth <xentrac> congratulations

03:56:15 ##forth <vms14> it was easy since I cheat with perl xd

03:56:51 ##forth <vms14> but I always wanted to try the forth editor and didn't find an implementation that had the words

03:57:18 ##forth <vms14> also I have to create vocabularies so I does not conflict with the loop one

03:58:08 ##forth <vms14> I always thought the block editor of forth is a cool idea

09:54:53 ##forth <veltas> vms14: gforth's source .tar.gz has a block editor

09:55:17 ##forth <veltas> Also I have one on my github, can't post link right now but you can try github.com/veltas

09:55:25 ##forth <veltas> Mine is sort of half-baked and not good

09:55:31 ##forth <veltas> gforth's one is alright

09:55:42 ##forth <veltas> crc has a good editor that's very minimal

12:01:01 ##forth <deadmarshal_> coroutines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH4tWf9vPrA

15:09:43 ##forth * crc likes block editors

15:11:07 ##forth <veltas> I had an exercise at one point to write a block editor without an editor, using blocks and standard forth stuff

15:11:23 ##forth <veltas> And I got there because I took some inspiration from what you did

15:11:31 ##forth <veltas> With konilo(?) I think

23:30:55 ##forth <veltas> vms14: https://forth.chat/logs/libera/forth/2025-01-31

23:35:27 ##forth <vms14> https://github.com/Veltas/sf-editor/blob/master/sf-editor.fs

23:38:54 ##forth <vms14> mine worked taking a file as lines instead

23:39:18 ##forth <vms14> perl has a core module that converts a file into an array

23:39:19 ##forth <vms14> https://perldoc.perl.org/Tie::File

23:39:35 ##forth <vms14> not reading the whole file, but using seek and caching access

23:40:06 ##forth <vms14> 0 t

23:40:46 ##forth <vms14> that sets the current line to 0

23:40:58 ##forth <vms14> and the cursor to 0 since it points to the current char

23:42:15 ##forth <vms14> but I did not add the rest of the words and changed I to ins so it does not clash with do's i

23:42:27 ##forth <vms14> so I can use ins inside a loop

23:43:20 ##forth <vms14> you can : oh ins some random text\n ;

23:43:44 ##forth <vms14> you need a real newline though xd

23:45:36 ##forth <vms14> I guess it would be cool to have them in loops
