DREI Raises Engineer’s Interest

Troels Henriksen has made available his modifications to McCLIM: He added an input editor (named “DREI”) that is based on climacs. The greater plan seems to be to make Climacs use that input editor for all its editing panes.

Apart from less code duplication and embeddability of a really nice emacs in every clim application that uses a text-editor gadget, this adds a few cool things to the input editing in current clim applications. This screen shot

shows:

  • Lisp syntax highlighting,
  • (almost) correct indentation of forms, and
  • nicely formatted “noise” strings: (pathname).
