Minimum Profit(1) General Commands Manual Minimum Profit(1) NAME mp-5 - Minimum Profit Editor, a text editor for programmers SYNOPSIS mp-5 [options] [+NNN] [file [file...]] DESCRIPTION Minimum Profit (mp) is a text editor for programmers. Among its features are the following: * Fully scriptable using a C-like scripting language. * Unlimited undo levels. * Complete Unicode support. * Multiple files can be edited at the same time and blocks copied and pasted among them. * Syntax highlighting for many popular languages / file formats: C, C++, Perl, Shell Scripts, Ruby, Php, Python, HTML... * Creative use of tags: tags created by the external utility ctags are used to move instantaneously to functions or variables inside your current source tree. Tags are visually highlighted (under- lined), and symbol completion can be triggered to avoid typing your own function names over and over. * Intelligent help system: pressing F1 over any word of a text being edited triggers the underlying system help (calling man when edit- ing C or Shell files, perldoc with Perl, ri on Ruby, winhelp on MS Windows...). * Understandable interface: drop-down menus, reasonable default key bindings. * Configurable keys, menus and colors. * Text templates can be easily defined / accessed. * Multiplatform: Console (curses and ANSI), Qt4, GTK+, KDE4, MS Win- dows. * Automatic indentation, word wrapping, internal grep, learning / re- peating functions. * Spellchecking support (via the ispell package). * Multilingual. * Password-protected, encrypted text files (using the ARCFOUR algo- rithm). * It helps you abandon vi, emacs and other six-legged freaks defi- nitely. OPTIONS The following options are avaiable: -t tag Edits the file where tag is defined (see ctags(1)). -e mpsl_code Executes MPSL code. -f mpsl_script Executes an MPSL script. -d directory Changes working directory. -x file opens file in the hexadecimal viewer. NNN Moves to line number NNN of last file. MPSL MPSL (Minimum Profit Scripting Language) is a powerful programming language embedded in the Minimum Profit Text Editor (a huge part of the editor it- self is written in MPSL). Its features are too large to be inserted here; please read the documentation. FILES * /etc/mp.mpsl (system-wide configuration file). * ~/.mp.mpsl (user configuration file). * ~/.mp_templates (user text templates).
