Command-Line Options

  • --cmd, -c - This option takes one argument, which is then run as a command once edil is started and initialized. e.g. edil --cmd "tabwidth 8" will start up edil with tabs of width eight instead of the default four.

  • --help, -h - This option simply displays a help message, detailing these options, then exits.

  • --version, -v - This option just prints out the current version of edil, and when it was compiled, then exits.

  • --binds, -b - This option prints out all of edils default keybindings, then exits.

  • --filecmd, -f - This option takes one argument, a filename, and then loads the commands stored in the specified file. This done using the loadconf command.

  • --keycode, -kc - This option takes one argument, a hexadecimal number. The name of the corresponding key is then printed to stdout and edil exits. This is the same as the hex numbers printed in kcd mode, accessed by Ctrl+K, or the inp_key enum within edil's code.

  • --cmds, -cl - Lists all edil commands in markdown format, then exits.

Usage

To use edil, simply run the binary. Files to be edited can be specified in arguments. These are run as if they were given to the new command as arguments.
