Naha posted the question after I asked him about the topic of editor
windows in CLIM. I have experiented with solutions quite similar to what
has been posted, but I never managed to get the right thing. Unless I am
mistaken, both Colin's and Scott's solutions suffer (at least under
Genera 8.3) from the rubout redisplay problem, as well as from other,
more subtle glitches.
This I believe.
Also, it does not provide commands like ctrl or
(less importantly) meta editing commands.
But this I do not believe. I just tried it and a whole mess of the
control/meta-cokebottle commands worked just fine.
If anyone has written anything like such an editor, I'd love to hear
about it, otherwise I'll work on it some more. I do think that it would
be a valuable tool and should be in the standard CLIM library. How do
CLIM folks feel about this?
I'm all for it. It's not trivial, though.
