Package aee-2.2.15b-1

An easy to use text editor. Intended to be usable with little or no instruction. Provides both a terminal (curses based) interface and native X-Window interface (in which case the executable is called xae). Features include pop-up menus, journalling (to recover from system crash or loss of connection), cut-and-paste, multiple buffers (associated with files or not), and much more. aee is a superset of 'ee', a simplified text editor. rae and rxae are the same as aee and xae respectively, except that they are restricted to editing the file(s) named on the invoking command line. No other files may be opened or written, nor may shell operations be performed.

Function keys work fine in xae, but for aee they only work for some terminals (like rxvt and Eterm) and not others (like Terminal.app and xterm). The function keys do, however, have control key equivalents, and can also be mapped to any control key combination. See the man page, aee(1), for details.
