I'm actually looking for an alternative edit
environment for SC, so I
can bypass Emacs. I tried Emacs two or three times in the recent past
just for SC, but then I found, that in Emacs the Backspace or Delete
key (the C-h one) still didn't work as expected and I said to myself:
"No, after all these years I'm *not* letting Emacs force me to
customize the Backspace key in some .emacs file on my own. This is
just not my job, it's the job of Mr. and Mrs. Emacs. I refuse to do
this."
No, its actually the job of your distributor to configure programs
such that they work together nicely. On Debian, I've never had
any backspace issues with Emacs.
I admit, I wasn't patient at all. ;) Maybe the
next time I will hold
on.
Yeah, that is obvious, since you rant the third time in some weeks about
this issue :-).
I've demonstrated how to run sc code from the command-line. If you prefer
Vim and stuff, I really dont understand what is now preventing you
from using SC without Emacs. Its going to be awkward, but hey, thats
what you get for skipping Emacs! :-) Vi users have to feel the
pain, self-inflicted and all...
Simply edit your .sc file, and if you think it should work, do:
# sclang scfile.sc -
Now you can use stdin to test some additional commands (real-time programming).
If an error occured, go back to your mighty vim and edit the .sc file.
Since I dont use vi very much, I dont really know if
it can run and communicate with external processes. For a more Vim friendly
interface to SC you'll have to find a Vim expert (if they exist).
