Re: Re-evaluating last form on MacOS

What is your meta key?  Are you using a Mac keyboard?

I’m using an old keyboard.  I get a Pi if I hit ALT-P.

I’ve told my mixintosh to bind CAPS-LOCK to "^ CONTROL”.  When I hit CAPS-LOCK-P, I get the previous line. (Mac Apple>>System Preferences>>Keyboard>>Modifier Keys).

I *think* that LWM (LispWorks Macintosh) comes with two sets of bindings (Emacs and Apple).  YMMV.

I’m really a linux user - if anybody has better suggestions for how to bind the keyboard (IBM Model M) on a Mac better, do let me know.

Re: Re-evaluating last form on MacOS

Select Preferences in the LispWorks menu. Choose "Environment", the click on the Emulation tab. Select

- Editor keys are like Mac OS X editors

- The Alt key acts as the Emacs Meta key

Re: Re-evaluating last form on MacOS

Thanks Paul, that was helpful and pointed me in the right direction.  In the Environment->Emulation preferences, I kept the default setting of Emacs keys, but changes the Meta key option from “There is no Emacs Meta Key” to “The Alt Key acts as the Emacs Meta Key” and Meta (the Option key on newer Mac keyboards) is working as expected to scroll back through previously entered forms.

Much thanks!

Steve

Re: Re-evaluating last form on MacOS

Hi,

To rebind these commands add you your config file something like

;; Bind Ctrl-Up/Down to previous/next commands in Listener
(editor:bind-key "History Next" "Control-Down" :mode "Execute")
(editor:bind-key "History Previous" "Control-Up" :mode "Execute")
;; Same for Cmd-UP/Down 
(editor:bind-key "History Next" "Hyper-Down" :mode "Execute")
(editor:bind-key "History Previous" "Hyper-Up" :mode "Execute")
