line would then be used as the input line.
Okay, I see what you mean, but the behaviour you describe is actually
a function of comint-mode (a standard emacs mode from which axiom-
process-mode inherits much of its behaviour), so this might be a bit
difficult to achieve.
2) I'm actually just starting with axiom-environment, so maybe it's
already there... I'm looking for a way to put my cursor on some line
in
a buffer containing an *.input file. Then press Ctrl-ENTER and that
line
would be copied to the REPL buffer and automatically executed.
It's not there yet. I have thought about this but got stuck on a way
of deciding exactly what chunk of code gets sent to the REPL -- only
doing a single line seems of rather limited use, wouldn't it be better
to do an entire "toplevel form"?
3) Another wish. If I am in a .spad or .input or in the REPL buffer,
there sometimes appear FriCAS types. Suppose my cursor is on such a
type
identifier, for example, Polynomial(Integer), cursor on the m.
Then pressing C-c C-h or some other key would call a function that
gets
"Polynomial" as parameter. In fact, I'd like that function to call
firefox http://fricas.github.io/api/Polynomial.html &
or with a local "file://.../Polynomial.html" URL.
Well C-c C-d a does axiom-process-apropos-thing-at-point which pops up
a buffer with the result of e.g. ")show Polynomial". But you are
right, it would be nice to be able to open your web-based
documentation too.
4) Like 3), but instead of calling a browser, it would open the source
file where the respective type is defined. Of course, I would have to
configure where my FriCAS sources are. And it would need another list.
I used the following Makefile target to generate the information
that I
need for all the cross linking and the link to the .spad sources on
http://fricas.github.io/api/Integer.html .
abbrev.list:
#--rhx: TODO: Does not work for in-source-build!!!
(cd $(ALGEBRASOURCES); \
grep -nH '^)ab[a-z]* [a-z]* *[A-Z0-9]* *[^ ]*' *.spad \
| sed -e 's/\.spad:/ /' -e 's/:)abbrev//') > $@
Yes, I have thought about this too, but I would want a way to query a
running Fricas as to where the source file is. This would be in
keeping with the rest of axiom-environment's data/documentation
gathering functions (where all data is obtained by calling built-in
commands and SPAD functions). I think depending on knowledge of an
external source tree is just too fragile, too liable to break.
