Re: [Bug-apl] A GTK wrapper for GNU APL

I've just pushed a new version to github. 

  • Switched to the FreeMono font rather than the SimPL font.  ]keyb still doesn't look right, but I think it's the box characters screwing up and not the normal characters. Mono is now the default; use the -v option if you  want variable width.
  • Revised the keymap to match ]keyb.  There are a few symbols, circle-diaresis, star-diaresis, and quad-colon that GNU APL doesn't seem to support, and since I'm basing my keymap on the GNU APL Avec.def file, nothing happens when you press those keys.  Let me know if that's a problem and I'll try to do something about it.  Also, in the real world, diamond is on the alt-backquote key but KDE-world intercepts that key and there's no way to change that, so I've mapped diamond to the otherwise unused alt-d. ]keyb also shows a bizarre symbol, a tilde-zero or something like that, on alt-].  I  can't find anything similar in the Unicode tables, so I'm ignoring it,  Let me know if that's a problem.

Have fun,
cm

Dear Chris,

Wow.  Very nice!  A few things I noticed:

1.  The -m did not put it in mono font for me (using current GIT).

2.  Mono font really should be the default otherwise nothing displays correctly.  Try ]keyb.  Try 5 5⍴⍳25

3.  You are using an old keyboard mapping.  It doesn't match the output of ]keyb.  It also doesn't match my actual keyboard (which was designed to match the GNU APL standard.)

Thanks.

Blake
