Hello, I enjoy using the Micro text editor, but, unfortunately, I know neither Go or Lua. Is this the right place to request features/report bugs?
I've switched from sudo to doas (and, since I didn't need sudo anymore, uninstalled sudo). Unfortunately, If I forget to write "doas" before "micro /path/to/read-only/file/" if I try to save changes micro doesn't recognize that sudo isn't installed and can't save the changes. For those who don't know, doas is like sudo but without a bunch of features most desktop users don't use anyways. It's a BSD thing but is also ported to Linux. The reason why [most] people switch to doas is that it's source-code is smaller and less code -> probably less bugs -> smaller attack surface, so having both sudo and doas is pointless (since it would only increase attack surface).
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately "micro -sucmd doas" doesn't work.. Am I doing something wrong?
To be more specific, "micro -sucmd doas /path/to/read-only/file" does work, but it still tries to run sodo when I don't write "-sucmd doas"
Is there a more.. permanent solution?
Thanks, that worked! Unfortunately it still writes sudo instead of doas in the editor, but it's not a major issue
It does run doas though after hitting the y key
Ctrl+/ comments the line cursor is on
if you just run micro and try to use ctrl+/ it adds "#" to the beginning of the line the cursor is on
and it keeps doing that even if you save the file as, let's say, a C++ file (.cpp)
instead of adding "//" in front of the line
The key binding works properly if you run "micro /path/to/file" or "open /path/to/file" (in micro)
That's not a correct behavior because C and C++ use "//" for inline comments
The bug is likely not only C/C++ specific though
iirc I've experienced the same bug with html and javascript

And here's the last issue I've encountered so far.. I was playing around with reactjs and it seems like javascript syntax highlighting is broken
You've made transition from GUI text editors to a terminal text editor so easy!
The code runs without any issues. It's not pure javascript, it's javascript+reactjs. The html-like code you are seeing is JSX and it works perfectly fine with react
completely ignoring JSX code would be a good-enough solution for me
To learn more about syntax files, see the second half of
> help colors, and you can look at all the existing syntax files at https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/tree/master/runtime/syntax
I've added another multiline comment that starts with //JSX_start and ends with //JSX_end
the text editor thinks that the JSX code is a comment
But javascript ignores //JSX_start and //JSX_end, because it thinks it's just an inline comment
but you would have to be careful of recursive includes
you might need a stripped down html highlighter if you want to do that
You can find it on the plugins page
If I knew where the source-code for the web-page (https://micro-editor.github.io/plugins.html) is I'd remove it myself, but I have no idea where to find it
