Hello all, can the LW editor be made to recognize square brackets as alternative list syntax, similar to what (modify-syntax-entry ?\[ "(]" lisp-mode-syntax-table) (modify-syntax-entry ?\] ")[" lisp-mode-syntax-table) does in Emacs? Marcus
I would not expect it, what you need is one reader macro and that's not all too much I guess. Regards Friedrich

I'm currently using the following,
it doesn't work everywhere but it does the job.
(editor:bind-string-to-key ")" #\] :mode "Lisp")
(editor:bind-string-to-key "(" #\[ :mode "Lisp")
(editor:bind-string-to-key "[" #\( :mode "Lisp")
(editor:bind-string-to-key "]" #\) :mode "Lisp")
(editor:bind-string-to-key ")" #\])
(editor:bind-string-to-key "(" #\[)
(editor:bind-string-to-key "[" #\( )
(editor:bind-string-to-key "]" #\) )
Cheers,
Sean.

Thanks Dmitriy, works like a charm. Marcus > (progn (editor::set-vector-value > (slot-value editor::*default-syntax-table* 'editor::table) #\[ 2) > (editor::set-vector-value > (slot-value editor::*default-syntax-table* 'editor::table) #\] > 3)))
