From my first experience, I don't manage to use the characters data of Scheme (guile) under TeXmacs. For exemple the usual "#\a" followed by enter gives "#<a>" which after an other "enter" for evaluation gives an error message. The simpler command" \a enter " gives also the same problem
Do you know if there is a specific way to get scheme characters ?


This is due to the fact that \ has a special meaning in TeXmacs:
it is used to enter special markup. You should enter the \ character
using "S-F5 \". There has been a discussion on whether we should make
the \ keystroke default to the \ character inside sessions.
I haven't made a decision yet. Maybe we should let it default
to the \ character in textual input inside computer algebra sessions.



Thank you for your answer.
Why not to have a button on the tool bar to switch between a Texmacs keyboard shortcuts mode and the on going external session keyboard shortcuts mode ?
