aw is a Go helper for acme.

It watches the acme log for open .go windows and can run guru and other commands at the point of the cursor. Output is shown in the browser.

• go get github.com/mjibson/aw
• Run aw, then open http://localhost:6161.

There are Go plugins for all other popular text editors. The only one I have found for acme is acmego which runs gofmt on save. I frequently want to see documentation, type, and other information when I'm working. I could have written a script that did this and printed the output to an acme window. But since I always have a web browser open alongside acme, it made sense to me to use the brower screen space for doc text (which is what it was used for anyways), instead of opening new acme windows and using space I'd prefer to save for code files.

This project is an experiment about my editing environment. I may learn enough about how to use acme well that this entire project gets scrapped in favor of a smart script that does what I need.

1. Install JavaScript dependencies: npm install.
2. Install modd: go get github.com/cortesi/modd.
3. Run modd in the aw directory. This will watch and recompile Go and JS as needed.

To regenerate the static assets in static.go:

1. Install esc: go get github.com/mjibson/esc.
2. Run go generate to recompile the static assets.
