  1. GNU Moe is a powerful, 8-bit clean, console text editor for ISO-8859 and
  2. ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly interface,
  3. online help, multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo capability, unlimited
  4. line length, global search/replace (on all buffers at once), block
  5. operations, automatic indentation, word wrapping, filename completion,
  6. directory browser, duplicate removal from prompt histories, delimiter
  7. matching, etc.
  8. Moe tries to rationalize the keyboard commands. The Alt key is used for
  9. harmless commands like cursor movements and scrolling. The Control key
  10. is used for more "dangerous" commands like copying text blocks, deleting
  11. lines, or exiting. The Tab key is used for filename completion and also
  12. shows/hides the directory browser when moe asks for a filename to save
  13. or load. In any case, the unlimited undo/redo capability of moe makes
  14. very difficult to accidentally cause an irreparable damage to your
  15. files.
  16. Moe uses the function keys, so that the most frequent commands can be
  17. issued with only one finger. The function key F1 shows the online help,
  18. and F10 allows you to change the options.
