As much as I like gnu-apl-mode and aplwrap (I use both on a daily basis), I
felt like there ought to be a more lightweight approach to getting APL
characters into GNU APL.
Today I wrote `akt`, the APL Keyboard Translator.

This is a neat idea, and something like this should be integrated in GNU
APL itself, I think.
However, making the assumption that Alt causes esc-prefixing is not an
ideal approach. May I suggest that you take a look a the features that
Curses offers to do this in a terminal-independent manner?

Thanks, Elias.
I was inspired by what I saw coming out of `showkey`, so I looked at the
source and realized that the foundation was very simple. The only really
tricky part was distinguishing between the ANSI CSI (a two-character
prefix of all ANSI cursor and function keys) and the APL `←` which i
If you have never seen anything else, then I must assume that you haven't
looked hard enough. :-) In fact, the usual way was to simply set the high
bit to 1 to indicate Alt. Emacs implemented a workaround for terminals that
did not support this (the Esc-prefix) and many terminal emulators have
ado
Interesting. I knew about the high-bit controls, but honestly can't
remember the last time I saw a system that used them. Aside from xterm
(given appropriate configuration), are high-bit controls used on any of
your available platforms?

I have no idea. Probably not. :-) The point, however, is that if there is a
standard way of doing it, that should be used. And I believe there is a
most standard way (or am I wrong? I might mis-remember).

Fair enough. I'll put high-bit controls on the TODO list along with
alternate prefixes.
