Aloha Xyscripters, Inspired by all the work with Claude going on in this group, I made an attempt myself. I wanted a keyboard setup with my beloved Emacs keybindings. The idea for me at least is the set up Xyscript as my go-to editor for writing short form fiction (I currently use Nano which is great but hardly in the same league). So I asked Claude. I also fed Claude the manual and reference and Claude came up with emacs.kdb and emacs.lib in reasonably short order. It said it needed to create a function to help with mapping key chording to Xyscript, which it says is not directly supported. I tried it out and it failed to load at first but the problem was simple. Claude used "# " to start a comment and apparently in keyboard files it has to be "; ". (It's a bit confusing that xpl files use one comment marker and kbd files use another.) So then everything loaded. It kind of works up to a point. Some of the chording and especially the Meta combinations don't. This is not Xyscript's fault, this is Claude's. I will continue to work on this as time allows and post the result when I think it's close enough to Emacs. This is all very encouraging and somewhat amazing. Random things: 1. Comment inconsistency as noted above. 2. In my installation trying to open a file in the current directory by just giving the file name on the command line doesn't work. It creates a buffer with the right title but no content. A full path name is necessary, for instance xyscript foo.txt doesn't work but xyscript /home/bnewell/foo.txt does work. 3. It would be nice if the file open dialog would start in the current working directory or even better the last used file directory. This would save a lot of time when working with multiple files in a single directory. 4. This may exist already but a cumulative buffer of all messages (especially error messages) which can be saved and edited would help a lot in debugging. Again, thanks to Carl over there in far away New York City for giving us something of inestimable value. With aloha from Hawai`i nei, Bob Newell Honolulu
