mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[address@hidden]

Hello,

actually the ZIP file did work, thank you. The Cygwin version is _much_ 
faster than the (old) native port.

BTW, I've been wondering if it would be hard to separate the Texmacs 
core functionality and editor core (i.e. rendering, exporting, font & 
image handling, tabbing through alternatives) from the rest of the user 
interface, so one could implement a nicer (and more intuitive) gui.

I love the way I can achieve everything fast and intuitively using the 
keyboard, but the rest of the interface is somehow outdated (I'm just 
thinking of having to type "y" to answer questions instead of having 
yes/no buttons). I'm pretty sure a decent user interface with "native" 
controls would create a major boost in Texmacs popularity.

I've been browsing through the sources a bit, but was a bit overwhelmed, 
so maybe there is someone with a more intimate knowledge.

Greetings,
  Jan
