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 fea- tures 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 vari- ables inside your current source tree. Tags are visually high- lighted (underlined), 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 editing 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 Windows. • Automatic indentation, word wrapping, internal grep, learning / repeating functions. • Spellchecking support (via the ispell package). • Multilingual. • Password-protected, encrypted text files (using the ARCFOUR al- gorithm). • It helps you abandon vi, emacs and other six-legged freaks def- initely. 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 lan- guage embedded in the Minimum Profit Text Editor (a huge part of the editor itself is written in MPSL). Its features are too large to be in- serted here; please read the documentation. FILES • /etc/mp.mpsl (system-wide configuration file). • ~/.mp.mpsl (user configuration file). • ~/.mp_templates (user text templates).
