- WalterBright 6y agoI have idle thoughts about porting TECO to D so I can lord it over those IDE people.
- Blammar 6y agoI remember leaving off the initial "I" for insert-mode a few times when writing long TECO edits. Hitting the double escape and realizing in horror that the editor was parsing my assembly language program as editor commands wasn't fun. That got fixed eventually iirc by keeping your text input in a buffer. By the way, TECO was a CHARACTER editor, not a line editor!
- jmorrison 6y agoI dimly recall one was supposed to figure out what TECO would do when one typed one's name in (followed by the double-escape). Never did figure out what mine would do - was too afraid to try.
