SAMRC(5)		      File Formats Manual		      SAMRC(5)

NAME
       samrc --	configure samterm

SYNOPSIS
       ~/.samrc

DESCRIPTION
       A  samrc	file in	the user's home	directory can be used to configure the
       downloaded portion of the sam(1)	editor (that is, samterm).  This file,
       if it exists, is	read at	startup.

       Each line begins	with a configuration directive and some	number of  ar-
       guments.	  Lines	whose first printing character is a "#"	are considered
       comments	and are	ignored.  The following	configuration  directives  are
       supported:

       bind    Bind a key sequence to a	command	or a raw character.  The forms
	       are:

		   bind	M K command C A
		   bind	M K command C
		   bind	M K raw	C

	       Where  M	 is  a	string	describing a set of modifier keys (see
	       "Modifier Keys" below), K is the	 name  of  a  keyboard	symbol
	       suitable	 for passing to	XStringToKeysym(3), C is either	a com-
	       mand name (for command bindings;	see "Command Names" below)  or
	       a literal or hexadecimal	specification of a character, and A is
	       an arbitrary string to use as an	argument to a bound command.

	       Note  that keyboard symbol names	are implementation-defined and
	       often case-sensitive, and that not all commands will  make  use
	       of arguments.

       unbind  Remove  all  bindings associated	with a key sequence.  The form
	       is:

		   unbind M K

	       where M is a string describing a	set of modifier	keys and K  is
	       the  name  of  a	keyboard symbol, as for	"bind" above.  The key
	       sequence	may be subsequently rebound.

       chord   Bind a mouse chord to a command.	 The form is:

		   chord S1 S2 C T

	       where S1	is a string describing the initial state of the	 mouse
	       buttons	(see  "Mouse Button States" below), S2 is a string de-
	       scribing	the following state of the mouse buttons, C is a  com-
	       mand name, and T	is a target (see "Targets" below).

       unchord
	       Remove all bindings for a given mouse chord.  The form is:

		   unchord S1 S2

	       where  S1 and S2	are strings describing the initial and follow-
	       ing mouse button	states.	 The chord  may	 be  subsequently  re-
	       bound.

       foreground
	       Names the color used to draw text.  It is of the	form:

		   foreground C

	       where   C   is	a   color   name   suitable   for  passing  to
	       XAllocNamedColor(3).

       background
	       Names the color used to draw  the  background  of  files	 being
	       edited.	It is of the form:

		   background C

	       where  C	 is  a	colon-separated	list of	color names as for the
	       foreground directive.  If more than  one	 color	is  specified,
	       files will cycle	through	these background colors.

       border  Names the color used to draw file borders.  It is of the	form:

		   border C

	       where C is a color specification	as for foreground.

       font    Specifies the font used to draw text.  It is of the form:

		   font	F

	       where F is an fc-match(1) compatible font pattern.

       tabs    Specifies the width of tab characters in	multiples of the width
	       of the '0' character.  It is of the form:

		   tabs	N

	       where N is an integer between 1 and 12.

       expandtabs
	       Determines  if  tabs  should  be	 automatically	expanded  into
	       spaces.	It is of the form:

		   expandtabs B

	       where B is the string "true" or "false".	 If "true", then  tabs
	       will be automatically expanded.

       autoindent
	       Determines  whether  a line following a non-empty indented line
	       is automatically	indented.  It is of the	form:

		   autoindent B

	       where B is the string "true" or "false".	 If "true", then a new
	       line after a non-empty indented line is automatically indented.

       snarfselection
	       Indicates which X selection should be exchanged with samrc upon
	       execution of the	exchange command (either via the menu item  or
	       key binding).  The forms	are:

		   snarfselection primary
		   snarfselection secondary
		   snarfselection clipboard

       followfocus
	       Determines window focus mode.  It is of the form:

		   followfocus B

	       where  B	 is the	string "true" or "false".  If "true", then the
	       window focus mode is set	to follow the mouse pointer.  In  this
	       mode  typing is directed	to the window currently	underneath the
	       mouse pointer.

   Defaults
       The default keybindings	and  mouse  chords  are	 those	documented  in
       sam(1).	 The default foreground	and border color is black, and the de-
       fault background	color is white.	 Tabs are not expanded by default, and
       tabstops	are set	at every eight characters.  The	default	X selection is
       "primary".  The default window focus mode is "Click to  focus".	Typing
       is directed to the window which was last	clicked.

   Modifier Keys
       The  bind  directive  expects a string describing the state of modifier
       keys.  This string consists of one or more of "*" meaning  any  set  of
       modifiers,  "a" meaning Alt (Mod1), "c" meaning Control,	or "s" meaning
       Shift.

       For example, bind the "exchange"	command	to Control-Shift-E,  the  fol-
       lowing directive	could be used:

	   bind	CS e command exchange

   Command Names
       The following names can be used for commands:
		      |				       |
	    Name      |		   Meaning	       |  Default Binding
       ---------------+--------------------------------+-------------------

       del	      |	Delete next character	       |	    Delete
       cut	      |	Cut selection		       |	 Control-Y
       snarf	      |	Snarf selection		       |	 Control-C
       paste	      |	Paste snarf buffer	       |	 Control-V
       exchange	      |	Exchange snarf buffer	       |	 Control-Q
       eol	      |	Move to	end of line	       |	      None
       bol	      |	Move to	beginning of line      |	      None
       tab	      |	Insert a tab		       |	       Tab
       send	      |	Append to command window       |	      None
       write	      |	Write the current file to disk |	      None
       look	      |	Find next literal string       |	      None
       search	      |	Find next regex		       |	      None

       Additionally,  the  command  name  "none"  means	that the given binding
       should perform no action	(not even insert a character), and the command
       name "default" means that the given binding should perform whatever ac-
       tion was	previously defined for it.

       For the send command, the text to send is specified in the argument  of
       the  binding.   For  example,  to  bind	Control-Z  to undo the last 10
       changes,	the following line binding could be used:

	   bind	C z command send u10

       Note that the "send" command is analagous to the	"send" menu item:  the
       argument	 text  is  simply  appended to the text	in the command window.
       Thus, one should	exercise caution if partially-completed	commands exist
       in the command window.

   Mouse Button	States
       Chords are described using two states: a	beginning  state  and  an  end
       state.	When  the  mouse  buttons  are in the beginning	state and then
       switch to being in the end state, the chord is activated.

       States are described using button numbers between 1 and 5,  correspond-
       ing  to the buttons on the mouse	numbered from the left (though this is
       up to your windowing system and may vary).  For example,	the string

	   12

       means "buttons 1	and 2 are pressed".  The special string	"n" means  "no
       buttons	are pressed".  Thus to bind the	cut command to the chord "hold
       button one, then	click button two" the following	 configuration	direc-
       tive can	be used:

	   chord 1 12 cut current

   Targets
       Mouse  chords  can send their commands to either	the current file (i.e.
       the one receiving typed input) by specifying "current" as  the  target;
       or  to  the  file  under	the mouse pointer by specifying	"mouse"	as the
       target.

   Ordering considerations
       Commands	are executed in	the order they are present in the samrc	 file.
       Later commands will override earlier commands, meaning that in the case
       of duplicate binding or chord definitions, the last one wins.

       Note  that this means that bindings defined with	the "any" modifier set
       should be defined earlier in the	file than those	binding	the  same  key
       with modifiers, since otherwise the "any" binding will always win.

EXAMPLES
       An  example  samrc  file	 is provided in	the sam	source distribution as
       doc/samrc.
