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

is it possible word/character/line count to constantly appear at the bar instead of having to ctrl+e & "wc" every time I'm interested in word/character/line count?
(this bar)
Hi, how do I get my delete key to work like a delete key instead of duplicating the current line? I tried binding Delete to Delete and that didn't work. I tried binding Delete to UnbindKey and that didn't work either and gave me an error saying the action doesn't exist. Thanks!
@lrapava You could probably implement wc as a function that returns the number of words/characters/lines and then use that in your statusformat. Take a look at the wc plugin implementation if you want. As a word of caution, the statusline is updated every redraw so this probably wouldn't be especially efficient (if you are using large files).
@selfagency By default Ctrl-d is bound to duplicate line, and the delete key is bound to the Delete action. What key are you pressing? If you run
> raw and then press the key, what event does micro say it is receiving from the terminal?
