Carl, Very exciting! Hope XyScript will have the equivalent of settings.dfl. I have a Mac Mini, running Sonoma, which is a fairly recent OS build. I can be a tester, but probably not your prime one because I almost never use the Mac. Lisa Kleinholz comes to mind as someone who does. I volunteer her. :) Best, Harry On Thu, 4 Jun 2026 23:32:27 -0400, Carl Distefano wrote: > "XyScript" is the working name of my latest Claude-coding project to develop a modern, cross-platform XyWrite-like text editor.

I've run the test in Windows and Linux and it works as expected in both environments. I do not have access to a Mac, so will need one or more macOS testers. The test should take no more than 20-30 minutes to run, less if you already have Rust installed on your machine. Everything you'll need to run the test is included in this zip file: > > https://ammaze.net/xywwweb/dls/xyscript-kbd.zip > > Unzip it into a folder of your choosing, preserving the zip file's internal directory structure -- it should create a subdirectory called xyscript-kbd, with files and additional subdirectories.
