Modes for Jed editor

Writing good modes for JED is not a very easy task, and I'm very lazy, so these scripts are all in early stages of development. Only diff_mode is considered to be in production state.

• Unified diff mode: This mode shows you a unified diff (other diffs styles are NOT supported!) with "syntax highlighting" (requires DFA). It also implements fast movement functions (top/end of block, top/end of file, a bit like c_{top,end}_of_function), remove a whole block, remove junk lines ("only in ..." and "binary files..."). It can rebuild diff markers after editing (you should still be very careful when editing a diff), and can jump to original files.

• ChangeLog mode: unusable. If you don't have a better way to spend your time, take a look at it, but going to sleep may be a better choice.
• Makefile mode: almost unusable. It implements a very basic syntax highlighting. You may want to try it, it's better than plain text mode for editing Makefiles.
• Gtkrc mode: Another incomplete mode. Syntax highlighting for gtkrc files.
• Nasm mode: Again a syntax highlighting mode only. This one should have a complete keywords set, as it was built from the nasm documentation, using the gi.sl script and some hand editing. If I remember correctly, someone else has already done a nasm mode, trying his version may be a better choice.
• C Navigation mode: This mode is still under (slow!) development. It is a read-only mode, the up and down arrow keys jump to next and previous known tag. The right key follows the highlighted tag, the left key goes back. You can navigate through C files (or anything else you can tag) as you browse html files with lynx! (and with the same basic key bindings).

If you want to get this stuff anyway, take: modes.tar.gz
