Hello

I’m learning TeXmacs programming by trying to write a macro that configures the leftlined environment.

So far, I wrote :

<use-module|(my-colors)>

<assign|my-color|<\macro|kind>

  <extern|ext-my-color|<quote-arg|kind>>

</macro>>

<assign|my-env|<\macro|type|body>

  <surround|<npage-break*><vspace*|0fn><no-indent>|<vspace*|0fn>|<with|color|<my-color|<arg|type>>|<leftlined|<with|color|black|<arg|body>>>>>

</macro>>

• my-colors is a function written in Scheme that returns a color code from a keyword such as idea, task, tir, and so on.
• The my-color macro works perfectly: I do get a color code depending on the chosen keyword.
• The my-env macro completely freezes TeXmacs. I am starting to wonder whether it is actually possible to pass a function call to with.

Sorry if this is a rather basic question, but would you have any idea what the problem might be?

PS 1 : I wrote a Scheme function because the documentation seems to say that conditional structures, or case, are not very reliable. Is that true?

PS 2 : Could you tell me which keyboard configuration is needed to work efficiently on a style file under macOS? The keyboard shortcuts for writing work fine, but the ones for programming do not. It is therefore quite frustrating to have to keep using the mouse and the drop-down menus all the time.

Once again, sorry if these are basic questions.
