He recently posted the link to his git-repo on the mailing list. Thats a top point on my agenda to make that mode work for me and replace inferior-picolisp. However, I found it very frustrating to be totally lost on the PicoLisp command-line (since I don't know nothing about vi). And I do think that the PicoLisp philosophy (live in the command-line, open an editor on demand) does have its merits sometimes. Therefore I wrote the Emacs-style editor. Its still alpha, but now I can use the PicoLisp line editor in a 'natural way' (for an Emacs user), just like I use the Bash command-line in Emacs mode "without thinking". > After some googling tonight I found how to cycle using > > * M-p (comint-previous-input) > Select the previous command in the input history. > > > * M-n (comint-next-input) > Select the next command in the input history. > > > It might be nice to add this and any other tricks to your emacs style > page. Thats already implemented, but I used C-p and C-n instead of M-p and M-n since there is only only line in the REPL and and C-p and C-n can't server as line-up and line-down in a buffer. However, I could change that anytime. > On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 5:27 PM, Thorsten Jolitz > <tjolitz@googlemailcom> wrote: > > > Hi List, > > I just posted a reference article on the wiki > (http://picolisp.com/5000/!wiki?emacsstyleled) that explains how > to > activate and use the new Emacs-style command-line editor developed > by me > (with some help from Alex). > > You can try it out with the new testing version 3.1.0.15 available > on > the download page.
