Since uppercase letters are a small part of text bandwidth, I use them as control characters. The caps-as-meta editor project applies this idea to a text editor. The main benefit is nearly modeless editting, there are no separate text-entry and command modes.
Feature-creep long ago forced me to have a prefix-key to get more than 26 commands.
Edit by hand, or with help to repeat an edit sequence, or using macros, or write a script to apply a series of changes to a list of files.

Features

  • hands stay on the keyboard, no mousing around.
  • terminal interface works in X-window or root screen
  • repeat-me robot for repetitious editting
  • macros for conditional and multi-stage repetitious editting
  • text buffer memory pre-allocated
  • execve /xcq/ls or other binaries that you put in /xcq
