Re: [Bug-apl] ]keyb should function dynamically

[Blake McBride]

I've been an emacs guy for at least 20 years.  I saw your video.  Wow.  Very impressive.  Now that I've got my keyboard working, I'll have to take a look at it.

It is widely accepted that the emacs slime mode is the best Common Lisp development environment.  I'm not sure who wrote the APL mode for emacs, but it looks like it is a parallel with slime in terms of no-brainer environment to use.

Keep pushing!

I'm sure you all are annoyed with me for constantly plugging Emacs, but I just can't help myself.

The Emacs mode will display Jürgens keymap help in a separate window, automatically updated to correspond the the current active keymap. :-)

Hi,

at some point in time I started writing a dynamic ]keyb. But then people started
to complain about me using xmodmap (too old, too static, etc) and we now have
several other methods as well (see README-3-keyboard).

The downside is that it has become almost impossible to figure the current keyboard layout.

]keyb prints out a diagram of an APL keyboard.  Very helpful.  The problem is it appears to be static.  It doesn't reflect the actual keyboard mapping you are using.  I kind of doubt APL could figure this out dynamically, but I wonder if there isn't a better solution.
