| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
Arguments: development-configuration
Returns the editor-mode of development-configuration. The currently in
force configuration is the value of (configuration
*ide-system*)
(see configuration and *ide-system*
).
The editor-mode specifies which set of editor keystroke definitions
(that is, which comtab) to use in the editor and debug-window. Allegro
provides three sets of keystroke mappings either to follow Windows
conventions (:host), to provide basic emacs commands (:emacs), or to
provide a minimalist command set (:brief). The editor-mode may be
selected on the Options dialog. The variable *text-edit-comtab*
holds the comtab that
defines the commands for the current editor-mode, as well as any
additional commands that you may have been added explicitly.
A drawback of :emacs mode is that many of the menubar shortcuts are removed due to conflicts. Emacs enthusiasts may prefer the emacs-lisp interface to the real emacs editor for heavy-duty editing, while staying in :host mode in the windowized environment to maximize the number of keyboard shortcuts.
