Hello-
In response to Ludo's request for a Guile-2.0 anniversary hack, I'll start by offering a release of a hack I made. But this isn't my official hack: it is just a building block. Zile-on-Guile is a version of GNU Zile that uses GNU Guile as an extension language. The original GNU Zile was a small editor in the style of GNU Emacs and it has its own tiny embedded Lisp interpreter. I've replaced that interpreter with Guile. You can find the download at https://github.com/downloads/spk121/zile/zile-on-guile-0.0.tar.gz This is a 0.0 release, so if it even builds on anyone else's machine, I'd be totally surprised. You can find the Git repository at https://github.com/spk121/zile The Guile extension can be accessed this way. -- Pressing Alt+C brings up a REPL. You can do all your standard REPL things. -- In the REPL, one can create and bind new commands. Define a procedure of zero arguments, export it, and then bind it to a key using 'set-key'. For example: (define (blammo) (insert "blammo")) (export blammo) (set-key "\\F9" 'blammo) This creates a function that inserts the world "blammo" at the mark whenever <F9> is pressed. -- And, if really you wanted to, you could edit your current buffer in the REPL For example: (insert "here is some text") (forward-char) But that would just be silly. Thanks, Mike Gran
