Aloha everyone, I've been using the Emacs keymap that Carl developed and it's quite good. I've been looking at fine tuning and making it still more Emacs-like. But I've been thinking (uh-oh) and I wonder if I'm really on the right track. It seems I am trying to make XyScript like Emacs. Ultimately, though, if I want something Emacs-like, shouldn't I just take my 40 or so years of Emacs experience and ... use Emacs? This may be and likely is looking at things the wrong way around. Sure, have *basic* keybindings look like Emacs, to transfer muscle memory from one product to the other. But ultimately, I think what I should be considering is this: What does XyScript do that Emacs doesn't, or XyScript does more easily ... and so on. Go for the strengths of XyScript and not try to make it into Emacs beyond the basic keystrokes. And some of those strengths are, in my mind: * Really fast loading and usefulness as a pop-up quick editor * Relative ease of programming once familiarity with the * Alignment of purpose. Emacs has been called an operating * Relative ease of learning. It's been a long time since I * No doubt there are many other strong points.
