Re: Changing Emac shortcut keys?

So I should really listen to what people want and bring it back in 0.20! Yes, they are always a gentle introduction to any program, especially when they have short cut keys right next to the menu items so after a few clicks, the short cut keys get remembered instead of having to look up the documen...

Re: Changing Emac shortcut keys?

I'm not sure why C-M-x is commenting things out rather than evaluating them though... that's not right. You pressed ctrl+alt+x? Yup. Right after Lisp-in-a-box loads and gives me the CL-USER> prompt, I typed a simple function like this: (+ 1 2) and then ctrl-alt-x (held all three keys at the same ti...

Re: Changing Emac shortcut keys?

Um... I don't understand how that can be easier than moving code around. When I type C-M-x, it adds semicolons treating it as comments. Would I not have to remove these semicolons later? Also, I would think that sometimes it would be useful to cut/copy and paste code just because sometimes things ar...

Changing Emac shortcut keys?

Ok, Lisp in Box works fine, but now that I am working with a bit more sophisticated code (relatively, I'm about halfway through Touretzky's book), I would like to use traditional cut, copy, paste commands for Windows in emac/slime. The zxcv series is also normal for macs, so it is difficult for me t...

Re: Understanding Cons cell notation

The arrows aren't showing the flow of data, rather the structure of the data at particular moments in time. Clearer? Yes, that pretty much explains why I was confused. When there is talk of input and result (output), I think of flow of data and not data structure itself. Appreciate the time you spe...

Understanding Cons cell notation

Hello, I am using Touretzky's Common Lisp book to teach myself Lisp. I don't know if it is Lisp or the book, but learning Lisp isn't too hard and I am giddy. The only programming experience I have is a failed college BASIC class about 9 years ago. So I guess you can consider me as a guinea pig of an...
