mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Massimiliano Gubinelli <address@hidden>]

This could have been true in the original X11 version. My feeling is that given the variety of users, TeXmacs has become more agnostic about UI, in particular it adapts quite well to the various conventions of the various OS: Windows, Gnome and MacOS, so I do not see any obstacle also to get some VI customisation (even Emacs has an Evil mode :)). However not using VI myself I would not know where to start...

If the vi key binding was often adopted by users, then TeXmacs whould be called TeXvi  :)

My understanding of why TeXmacs was inspired by Emacs is that  Texmacs uses (1) lisp/scheme as it extending language, similar to Emacs, (2) the Emacs-style keybinding.

Dear Frank,

 to my knowledge none of the usual developers use vim keybindings, however TeXmacs is fully customizable  via scheme (a dialect of lisp) and you can change all the keybindings from your config file.

In order to understand how the usual modes (emacs, gnome, macos,…) are implemented you could try to look into:

TeXmacs/progs/texmacs/keyboard/prefix-kbd.scm 

and similar files.

Btw, this could be an interesting question for our Stack Exchange proposal, would you like to add it to 

https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/121978/texmacs

and maybe upvote some of the other questions, so that we can help the proposal to pass to the next stage?

Thanks!

HTH,

Hello all,

I wonder whether will have vi keybindings in the future? I get more used to this.
