mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Stephane Payrard <address@hidden>]

Perspective: this is an early feedback from someone that has used
texmacs for only 3 hours or so but has used emacs for years.
So I can miss the obvious, but a naive feeback can always be useful :)

1/ TeXmacs has a session mechanism in which I can run sucessfully an
interactive shell but a command started by the said shell does not get
the input from the keyboard as it should.
By comparaison, a interactive shell in emacs works correctly.


2/ Also, is it possible to get the keyboard accelerators displayed in the
menu? This is the best way to progressively move from mixed input
(mouse+keyboard) to a faster keyboard input mode (à la emacs)

3/ Your documentation should be hyperlinked so that a complete
  beginner like me can move around more easily in the documentation before
  getting his way in the menus.

4/ Telated to 3/
   I don't get the different meaning of the different links that can
   be created from (Insert->Links). Admittedly I have not yet searched
  very hard.

5/ Eventually it should be nice to be able to split a window in many panels
   (In emacs parlance that would be to split a frame in many windows) but 
without
   the emacs bug: emacs does not always display the buffer in the right 
window (in emacs speak: frame)
   when  the said buffer already appears within another window (in emacs 
speak:frame).
   Bug triggered by ^X^B when the "*Buffer List*"already opend in another 
windows (in emacs frame).
   I am not asking you to correct the bug in emacs!! just point out this is 
not easy to implement
   right.

6/ I  consider providing a Perl binding to TexMacs. What are the functions 
that should
   be provided first besides something like bind-key for remapping the 
keyboard


Thank you for this very promising tool and for your attention.
