    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately "micro -sucmd doas" doesn't work.. Am I doing something wrong?
    lrapava

    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?

    @zyedidia
    If you run > set sucmd doas from inside micro the option should be permanently set to use doas.

    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

    Ah I see, thanks for the info, I'll push a commit that fixes the message

    There's also another bug I've experienced
    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)

    This video probably demonstrates the bug better
    recording.mp4
    recording.mp4
    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

    Thanks, yes it looks like the comment plugin doesn't update its filetype when a file is saved with a new name

    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!
    Zachary Yedidia
    @zyedidia
    I'm glad! The javascript syntax highlighting is fairly primitive and doesn't have support for embedded html like that. It might be worth opening an issue to see if other people have solutions for this.

    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
    Zachary Yedidia
    @zyedidia
    Yeah unfortunately micro doesn't have good syntax highlighting support for jsx/non-standard javascript.

    Welp, that's unfortunate. Reactjs is a pretty popular library..

    btw, where can I learn how to make syntax files?
    completely ignoring JSX code would be a good-enough solution for me
    Zachary Yedidia
    @zyedidia
    To disable syntax highlighting you can turn the syntax option off. In ~/.config/micro/settings.json you could make a local option that disables syntax highlighting for *.js files (see the section "Global and local settings" in > help options).
    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 found this (temporary) solution
    image.png
    image.png
    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
    Zachary Yedidia
    @zyedidia
    Cool! You could probably even use include to get html highlighting within those comments
    but you would have to be careful of recursive includes
    you might need a stripped down html highlighter if you want to do that

    I may try to add proper ReactJS/JSX support later...

    Uh, also, this link is broken: https://github.com/tommyshem/micro-snippets-plugin
    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

    @zyedidia
    thanks i fixed it

    :point_up: Edit: 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?
    Zachary Yedidia
    @zyedidia
    you can do that here or open issues on github
