Recognize jed/xjed as text document editor

[kseistrup]

The jed text editor (and its graphic sibling xjed) uses jed $FILE -g $LINENO to open $FILE and position the cursor at line number $LINENO.

This pull-request will allow docfd to use jed or xjed to open a text file.

Disclaimer: I don't speak OCaml at all, and I haven't tested the patch, I've merely copied the existing pattern.

Thanks! I took a look at jed's man page and I think you got it perfectly right. I'll update the README and push a new release shortly.

I tested it against jed and it seems to work right. But I can't seem to find a package for xjed on Fedora to test the xjed part.

I've updated README and CHANGELOG nonetheless.

I should have told you in the PR-note: jed (and xjed) has been my editor for almost 35 years, so I am confident about the syntax (but not about the OCaml code). If it works in jed it will work in xjed too.

Thank you so much for your swift merging, I will package docfd for AUR right away.

Off topic: what are the killer features of jed that makes you use it for 35 years?

Also I just realised I missed some pushes for 2.1.0 - I'm going to redo the release.

EDIT: Okay the pushes for the proper version string have been made, and retagged 2.1.0. The binary should now actually carry the right version string after the CI finishes building it.

EDIT2: Just noticed you've already published the older tagged commit. Sorry about that!

I immediately liked it because:

• it had syntax highlighting
• it had auto-indentation
• it was easily extensible via its builtin scripting language S-Lang
• its keystrokes are more or less the same as emacs'

I know this is all standard today, but this was 35 years ago and I had just started using Linux. The rest is just habbit and muscle memory. If I were to start all over today I'd probably choose helix (or kakoune).

Just noticed you've already published the older tagged commit. Sorry about that!

No problem. Microsoft GitHub sends me an email for every new release, and I just re-published v2.1.0.

Gotcha. Thanks for the insight.. If I'm starting from scratch today I'd likewise think helix or kakoune makes the most sense, at least in terms of the designs.
