Usage of Goby

Executing Goby

• First, type “M-x goby”. Then a new frame “*goby*” which covers the entire screen appears. All functionality of Goby should be used in the frame “*goby*”. A buffer named “*goby scratch*” is prepared in the frame. Its minor mode is Goby(Edit mode).
• If you want to change a minor mode of any buffers, type “M-x goby-mode”.
• If a file whose suffix is “.gby” is read, its major mode and minor mode become Text and Goby, respectively.

Usage of Edit mode

• Basic
  • When minor mode is Goby (Edit mode), size and color are decided according to the number of TAB characters in the beginning of a line.
  • To insert a TAB character, type TAB or C-i.
• Font and color
  • The following commands are prepared for characters in a region.
