00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.760
welcome everyone uh my name is ferming i

00:03.760 --> 00:00:05.120
work as a commonwealth engineer at

00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.000
ribbon pack and today i'm going to talk

00:08.000 --> 00:00:09.519
about

00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.360
how to build an e-max

00:11.360 --> 00:00:12.240
right

00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.640
so uh let's start by defining what is an

00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.000
imax

00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.080
so that this can be a really this can be

00:20.080 --> 00:00:21.920
really hard depending on

00:21.920 --> 00:00:23.920
what you want to say what you want to

00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.320
qualify what emas is and not i'm going

00:26.320 --> 00:00:27.920
to

00:27.920 --> 00:00:29.519
get just this definition it's not the

00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.840
best but it's mine right

00:31.840 --> 00:00:34.480
so i would argue that an emacs should

00:34.480 --> 00:00:37.440
have text editing capabilities

00:37.440 --> 00:00:38.879
i wouldn't say it should be a text

00:38.879 --> 00:00:41.120
editor but it should be able to work

00:41.120 --> 00:00:43.200
really well with text

00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.680
as you have introspection and a global

00:45.680 --> 00:00:46.879
state

00:46.879 --> 00:00:49.760
so you can ask them every time

00:49.760 --> 00:00:51.680
um software itself i think it should be

00:51.680 --> 00:00:54.879
able to modify itself while running

00:54.879 --> 00:00:56.640
um so you shouldn't be static and you

00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.280
shouldn't never restart for

00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.359
any reason like in engineering max you

01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.280
can't predefine every function or every

01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.680
functionality the way you want

01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.360
and extensibility should not be limited

01:09.360 --> 00:01:11.040
with this i mean that if you add a new

01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.560
package shouldn't be a difference you

01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.960
shouldn't have an api

01:14.960 --> 00:01:18.560
to extend the software and the entire uh

01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.640
software itself should be the external

01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.640
api code

01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.360
i'll argue that's also

01:25.360 --> 00:01:26.640
um

01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.320
should be list base

01:28.320 --> 00:01:29.759
but

01:29.759 --> 00:01:32.880
um it's controversial so

01:32.880 --> 00:01:34.720
yes they're going to get this definition

01:34.720 --> 00:01:37.280
and then extend upon it so

01:37.280 --> 00:01:38.880
bear with me

01:38.880 --> 00:01:41.920
so right now uh genuine max is the best

01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.079
emacs that we have that's not the only

01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.320
one uh

01:46.320 --> 00:01:48.479
not even the first one imax but it's the

01:48.479 --> 00:01:49.680
best one that we have the one that we're

01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.759
using the one that we that i'm using

01:51.759 --> 00:01:54.079
right now and the one that we're here

01:54.079 --> 00:01:55.280
for

01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.759
but as we all know it's not perfect i'm

01:57.759 --> 00:01:59.759
going to highlight some

01:59.759 --> 00:02:02.479
um imperfection that all that we should

02:02.479 --> 00:02:05.119
know i guess that you must have

02:05.119 --> 00:02:07.360
so the first one is that uh i would

02:07.360 --> 00:02:09.440
argue that inmate lisp is a good lisp

02:09.440 --> 00:02:11.280
but it's not a general purpose

02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.280
programming language

02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.040
you can do pretty crazy things with

02:15.040 --> 00:02:16.959
emacs but i will argue that you can do

02:16.959 --> 00:02:18.400
also do that with

02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.640
brain [ __ ] i'm not comparing them i know

02:20.640 --> 00:02:22.239
with my list so much better than brain

02:22.239 --> 00:02:24.720
[ __ ] but that's not an argument in

02:24.720 --> 00:02:26.480
mclisp it's

02:26.480 --> 00:02:29.599
a language for an editor

02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.080
not for writing

02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.720
game engine for example

02:34.720 --> 00:02:37.040
um it's not the fastest lisp we all know

02:37.040 --> 00:02:40.239
this is um

02:40.239 --> 00:02:42.319
not in the middle i will say was really

02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.720
slow now it's getting better maybe with

02:44.720 --> 00:02:46.480
the c integration

02:46.480 --> 00:02:49.200
um thanks to andrea it can be even

02:49.200 --> 00:02:51.680
better but we'll see and has limited

02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.360
concurrency this will still be the case

02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.159
it has shared threats first i know

02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.000
it's not perfect and it's also not that

03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.040
fast

03:01.040 --> 00:03:03.360
and even though this for some people is

03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.480
not an issue

03:04.480 --> 00:03:06.080
i'll argue that for me it's an issue

03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.920
which is the canoe emac score is written

03:07.920 --> 00:03:09.840
in the c

03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.519
um i'm not a big fan of c i mean i have

03:13.519 --> 00:03:15.519
wrote things about c in the past and

03:15.519 --> 00:03:16.840
it's

03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.560
okay as a language but um i prefer i'll

03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.800
be in lisp so i can hack on it easily

03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.720
and really find it while it's running

03:24.720 --> 00:03:27.440
all in just one language so you don't

03:27.440 --> 00:03:29.920
have to learn two languages to get into

03:29.920 --> 00:03:30.959
it

03:30.959 --> 00:03:33.120
um even though it's just ten percent of

03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.599
emacs right but still there needs to be

03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.799
maintained and yeah

03:38.799 --> 00:03:41.120
i don't like that uh kind of uh a max

03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.040
aspect but just

03:43.040 --> 00:03:45.360
this was just my opinion okay so while

03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.720
you're like you know mac's pretty good

03:46.720 --> 00:03:48.400
you should use it

03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.319
you probably use it if you're here and

03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.280
use it every day it's great

03:53.280 --> 00:03:54.239
so

03:54.239 --> 00:03:56.560
some people in the past

03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.080
wanted to write

03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.480
an e-max of course and not the emacs

04:00.480 --> 00:04:02.400
and they think about different things

04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.799
and they attempt to write similar emacs

04:04.799 --> 00:04:07.680
like things i'm going to um

04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.519
i know there's a lot of more way more

04:09.519 --> 00:04:12.879
emacs than the one i'm going to say now

04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.000
but i just going to

04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.639
focus on the emacs that uh meets the

04:18.639 --> 00:04:20.639
criteria are not like

04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.280
uh the linux turbo's emacs right which

04:23.280 --> 00:04:24.479
is just a c

04:24.479 --> 00:04:28.400
simple e max to write c for me that may

04:28.400 --> 00:04:30.160
be uh

04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.400
an e max for the people but not for me i

04:32.400 --> 00:04:34.639
wouldn't argue that that's not

04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.720
really an emacs just an editor with

04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.560
commands similar to imax

04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.160
but

04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.120
i digress okay so the language i will

04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.120
argue that common lisp may be the best

04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.320
language

04:46.320 --> 00:04:47.759
period

04:47.759 --> 00:04:49.600
sorry about that the best language for

04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.520
writing emacs also

04:51.520 --> 00:04:53.759
um it's a timeless standard reaching in

04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.520
the 1990s is fast and reliable

04:57.520 --> 00:05:00.160
it's a great lisp i will argue that the

05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.840
best lisp but i don't want to get any

05:01.840 --> 00:05:03.280
trouble so i would just say it's great

05:03.280 --> 00:05:04.400
lisp

05:04.400 --> 00:05:06.880
um has good library support doesn't have

05:06.880 --> 00:05:08.720
like a huge library like i would say

05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.160
python or c but pretty

05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.800
robust and good library

05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.000
similar to mclisp which may seem as a

05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.120
historical accident which maybe it is

05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.919
but also in this case has some

05:23.919 --> 00:05:26.160
interesting properties that will

05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.280
be discussed

05:29.280 --> 00:05:30.960
later

05:30.960 --> 00:05:32.400
okay so

05:32.400 --> 00:05:33.600
um

05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.280
taking common lisps a language to write

05:35.280 --> 00:05:36.479
an imax i'm going to get some

05:36.479 --> 00:05:37.759
technologies in documentation that we

05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.720
can use to write an e-max in common lisp

05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.440
so the first one is mcclaim which is an

05:43.440 --> 00:05:45.039
implementation of a

05:45.039 --> 00:05:47.120
common lisp interface standard

05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.320
this is great i mean i loved how

05:50.320 --> 00:05:52.720
this is written how it is defined i like

05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.479
standard things

05:54.479 --> 00:05:57.440
um mclean it's a marvelous tool i will

05:57.440 --> 00:05:59.759
argue that it's the best

05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.280
um toolkit

06:01.280 --> 00:06:03.039
i wouldn't say there's a toolkit because

06:03.039 --> 00:06:05.360
it's way more extense than it but it's

06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.919
great i would highly recommend if you

06:07.919 --> 00:06:10.639
want to write a gui application in

06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.400
common lisp well mcclain is great

06:14.400 --> 00:06:18.400
also some people thought about

06:18.400 --> 00:06:20.160
libraries for writing emac style

06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.720
application so to create an emacs some

06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.720
people already thought about this and

06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.479
wrote a paper

06:26.479 --> 00:06:27.440
um

06:27.440 --> 00:06:29.840
one of them was robert strand

06:29.840 --> 00:06:32.319
which is the guy more interested in in

06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.880
imax like things

06:34.880 --> 00:06:36.479
and this paper is great you can get a

06:36.479 --> 00:06:37.759
lot of information how you can write

06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.360
your application get

06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.039
similar functionality and all the things

06:41.039 --> 00:06:43.600
that i said before

06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.840
and also the same

06:45.840 --> 00:06:47.039
of the

06:47.039 --> 00:06:49.199
robert strand or the guys that wrote

06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.240
that paper also wrote clefo which is

06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.479
a library for text editor buffer but

06:54.479 --> 00:06:57.599
more important it's also a definition

06:57.599 --> 00:06:59.599
so this video

06:59.599 --> 00:07:02.639
out there will where he explains

07:02.639 --> 00:07:03.599
um

07:03.599 --> 00:07:05.919
what clapper is so he wrote an

07:05.919 --> 00:07:08.479
implementation of clover but it's more

07:08.479 --> 00:07:12.000
of like a

07:12.000 --> 00:07:12.880
um

07:12.880 --> 00:07:14.400
yeah

07:14.400 --> 00:07:17.599
like a standard like a way to write

07:17.599 --> 00:07:20.639
uh how buffers or work in emacs

07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.280
and i think it's better

07:23.280 --> 00:07:25.599
in some ways that what imac genuine mac

07:25.599 --> 00:07:26.960
does right now

07:26.960 --> 00:07:29.039
um in other ways it's really interesting

07:29.039 --> 00:07:31.759
and i just have had a lot of fun

07:31.759 --> 00:07:33.360
implementing it so

07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.919
i'm using it more or less

07:35.919 --> 00:07:38.080
uh so yeah that's some great

07:38.080 --> 00:07:40.479
documentation great foundation so you

07:40.479 --> 00:07:42.080
don't have to

07:42.080 --> 00:07:43.599
i mean it's

07:43.599 --> 00:07:44.879
really

07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.319
interesting to write everything by

07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.080
yourself because you are

07:48.080 --> 00:07:49.120
a great

07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.440
programmer and you you want to have

07:51.440 --> 00:07:52.879
control of everything i understand

07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.800
everything from the ground up but we

07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.720
have to understand that

07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.879
an imax it's a really complex

07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.639
application

08:00.639 --> 00:08:01.759
and

08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.120
i will say that if you have some

08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.520
foundation it will be easier and you

08:05.520 --> 00:08:08.479
don't have to rewrite the wheel 20 times

08:08.479 --> 00:08:10.080
right

08:10.080 --> 00:08:12.720
okay so attempts uh the same guy robert

08:12.720 --> 00:08:13.680
strand

08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.879
have two climax which is emacs and emacs

08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.360
like thing written in common lisp

08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.599
um the first ones the third one is

08:21.599 --> 00:08:23.360
abandon and the second one is a work in

08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.840
progress

08:24.840 --> 00:08:27.039
um it's really interesting the second

08:27.039 --> 00:08:29.440
one uses in fact the clefor buffer

08:29.440 --> 00:08:32.159
implementation one question

08:32.159 --> 00:08:36.880
and the first one is just a mcclaim um

08:36.880 --> 00:08:39.200
front end remax so it's really tight the

08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.800
so the the

08:40.800 --> 00:08:42.959
interface retired with the api so it's

08:42.959 --> 00:08:44.880
basically i'm sickly

08:44.880 --> 00:08:48.320
um software that's similar to an emacs

08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.360
right

08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.760
and the third one it's a lem project

08:51.760 --> 00:08:54.240
which is a common lisp editor that aims

08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.320
to be really close to remax and it

08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.519
probably fits the criteria but

08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.600
and uses the encourages for the

09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.279
interface for as i know and it's really

09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.200
commonly focused so it even has some

09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.560
major modes for other languages but

09:08.560 --> 00:09:09.839
i mean it's

09:09.839 --> 00:09:11.279
um

09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.440
it's mainly for common lisp written by

09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.680
common lisp and for common list

09:15.680 --> 00:09:18.080
developers

09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.839
um so i decided to write my own emacs

09:21.839 --> 00:09:23.839
but i don't want to write everything

09:23.839 --> 00:09:25.680
from scratch

09:25.680 --> 00:09:28.720
because i'm not a creator programmer

09:28.720 --> 00:09:29.839
and also because probably there's

09:29.839 --> 00:09:33.040
something that some people already tried

09:33.040 --> 00:09:34.640
and the first thing i noticed with all

09:34.640 --> 00:09:36.480
these attempts

09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.959
that they fail in compete with emacs so

09:38.959 --> 00:09:41.920
to say they don't have an imax conf

09:41.920 --> 00:09:43.839
and they don't support genuine max

09:43.839 --> 00:09:45.440
packages

09:45.440 --> 00:09:46.880
and that's a big deal because they're

09:46.880 --> 00:09:49.519
more of the thousands packages out there

09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.040
under great

09:51.040 --> 00:09:53.120
and imagine they want to convince

09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.800
someone to say hey try this editor

09:54.800 --> 00:09:57.440
instead of x thing

09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.839
i would say okay can i use git things so

09:59.839 --> 00:10:02.079
i have to write a git

10:02.079 --> 00:10:02.959
um

10:02.959 --> 00:10:04.640
liar

10:04.640 --> 00:10:07.360
maggot or mode and i want to play tetris

10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.440
the other road so that's

10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.640
really

10:10.640 --> 00:10:12.640
hard for one person to do

10:12.640 --> 00:10:14.079
so someone

10:14.079 --> 00:10:16.240
thought similar so they say okay i'm

10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.079
going to rewrite the maxi aph common

10:18.079 --> 00:10:19.200
lisp

10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.440
it was this is what back in 2005 by sol

10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.399
bets

10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.000
sabits

10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.000
but it was banjo in 2007. the project

10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.600
was called lice

10:27.600 --> 00:10:28.640
and

10:28.640 --> 00:10:31.600
it was a really interesting approach

10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.880
um it wasn't finished and it was lost in

10:34.880 --> 00:10:35.920
time

10:35.920 --> 00:10:37.440
so my idea was to continue with the

10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.880
project so the foundation was really

10:38.880 --> 00:10:40.320
interesting even though i didn't like

10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.160
some other

10:42.160 --> 00:10:43.760
designing choices

10:43.760 --> 00:10:45.360
um but i want to continue with projects

10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.519
finished you cannot see emacs api add a

10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.839
compatibility layer to use canoe max

10:49.839 --> 00:10:52.000
packages that's the selling point right

10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.760
so you don't have to

10:53.760 --> 00:10:56.000
use new things

10:56.000 --> 00:10:57.839
i like my emacs i just want to have my

10:57.839 --> 00:11:00.560
emacs with commodities that's it and

11:00.560 --> 00:11:02.959
also better probably a better buffer

11:02.959 --> 00:11:05.519
implementation so the idea now that uh

11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.839
having an imaginativity layer

11:07.839 --> 00:11:10.320
is there improving e-max upon it right

11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.040
you can use the e-max api or the new one

11:13.040 --> 00:11:14.880
depending on your needs

11:14.880 --> 00:11:15.760
you can also have that that

11:15.760 --> 00:11:19.120
compatibility of both

11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.920
so um i come up with cedar

11:21.920 --> 00:11:25.839
um cedar is my attempt is a nice

11:25.839 --> 00:11:27.120
fork

11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.079
i will say the hug for hard fork because

11:30.079 --> 00:11:32.399
i change um

11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.200
a lot of things and add a lot of things

11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.519
but it's similar still similar

11:37.519 --> 00:11:38.320
um

11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.680
and for this demo i'm going to use the

11:39.680 --> 00:11:41.839
cidar and courses branch we want to test

11:41.839 --> 00:11:44.880
it out because the other ones are a work

11:44.880 --> 00:11:46.560
in progress so one

11:46.560 --> 00:11:48.079
it's the mclean

11:48.079 --> 00:11:49.519
club for implementation which is not

11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.360
finished and doesn't run

11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.560
and the other one is with the visual

11:54.560 --> 00:11:54.959
that's to explain here but basically

11:54.959 --> 00:11:57.200
and debugger

11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.600
it's an interesting debugger similar to

11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.839
slime

12:01.839 --> 00:12:04.560
which is the superior lisp

12:04.560 --> 00:12:07.279
for re max let's begin with max so it's

12:07.279 --> 00:12:12.079
increases base also like um

12:12.079 --> 00:12:13.760
like limb

12:13.760 --> 00:12:16.959
but um way more easy simple

12:16.959 --> 00:12:19.279
um i

12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.880
write well i translate more or less this

12:22.880 --> 00:12:24.560
list mode functionality

12:24.560 --> 00:12:26.079
and it has similar

12:26.079 --> 00:12:28.079
genuine max api

12:28.079 --> 00:12:29.600
we'll see that in the demo

12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.600
um it's usable but i work in progress

12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.279
instead of functionality right now i'm

12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.279
not focusing on stability yet i'm

12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.240
focusing finish the mclean front end

12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.120
which i'm not even halfway there

12:41.120 --> 00:12:42.720
but i hope to finish it

12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.519
maybe next year who knows

12:45.519 --> 00:12:46.959
finish the compatibility layer from the

12:46.959 --> 00:12:48.399
new max packages i seen this i think

12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.959
this is doable i know how to do it i

12:50.959 --> 00:12:52.639
just need time

12:52.639 --> 00:12:53.600
maybe

12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.760
a little bit of caffeine

12:55.760 --> 00:12:57.040
coffee

12:57.040 --> 00:12:59.279
so uh let's go with the demo right

12:59.279 --> 00:13:02.079
so uh let's open terminal what's this

13:02.079 --> 00:13:04.800
anchor base let's go to quick lisp

13:04.800 --> 00:13:06.800
log there

13:06.800 --> 00:13:11.279
um and let's run it

13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.760
okay so now that we're here um it give

13:13.760 --> 00:13:16.000
us the welcome thing this is the main

13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.519
buffer it's like we'll say the emacs

13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.200
buffer when you enter

13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.040
um so we know that it's firming this is

13:21.040 --> 00:13:22.800
not hardcoded

13:22.800 --> 00:13:25.040
okay and now we see it's a major mode in

13:25.040 --> 00:13:27.200
the bottom right lisp

13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.360
it's lisp interaction and

13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.880
this is the name of the buffer right

13:32.880 --> 00:13:35.600
um okay so we have a couple of buffers

13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.240
we have scratch which is the fundamental

13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.720
mode and messages all right

13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.399
okay so

13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.639
let's get some interesting things first

13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.399
uh let's open a file

13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.959
so i think it's in

13:48.959 --> 00:13:51.199
programming

13:51.199 --> 00:13:53.440
a max

13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.480
conf 2021 and let's go to c there

13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.079
let's go to demo

13:58.079 --> 00:14:00.000
so let's open a file so

14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.440
um

14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.040
phone lock is not yet

14:03.040 --> 00:14:04.399
um

14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.240
well it's implemented so it's there but

14:06.240 --> 00:14:07.920
it's not active by default

14:07.920 --> 00:14:09.680
so let's open

14:09.680 --> 00:14:11.360
uh mx

14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.600
and let's go lisp

14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.079
interaction mode

14:16.079 --> 00:14:17.279
right

14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.199
so this when you show me here is the

14:19.199 --> 00:14:21.680
implementation of the kill sex sex

14:21.680 --> 00:14:24.240
express s expression command

14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.880
which is exactly the same point by point

14:28.880 --> 00:14:31.279
from the emacs one you can go right now

14:31.279 --> 00:14:32.959
umax and ask

14:32.959 --> 00:14:35.279
how is skills s expression defined this

14:35.279 --> 00:14:36.480
is the same

14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.560
and this is how you define a key so we

14:38.560 --> 00:14:41.920
have we can say uh describe

14:41.920 --> 00:14:43.839
symbol

14:43.839 --> 00:14:46.399
the package will be

14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.399
cedar and the symbol is

14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.480
global map

14:50.480 --> 00:14:51.610
global map

14:51.610 --> 00:14:53.279
[Applause]

14:53.279 --> 00:14:54.240
so

14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.160
it's a top level global keymap

14:56.160 --> 00:14:58.480
thank you for the information

14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.160
um but you can also say okay uh can i

15:02.160 --> 00:15:05.120
say okay

15:05.120 --> 00:15:08.000
global map

15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.079
okay i'll be giving this a key map so

15:10.079 --> 00:15:11.600
even though i want to aim to have the

15:11.600 --> 00:15:12.480
same

15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.920
um api the

15:15.920 --> 00:15:17.760
um sorry

15:17.760 --> 00:15:20.079
uh the back thing so the back end is

15:20.079 --> 00:15:22.480
going to be class oriented and not same

15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.720
any max but the return expression should

15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.680
be really similar so if we say current

15:27.680 --> 00:15:29.759
buffer

15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.759
it will give us the buffer it's not the

15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.759
same in emacs but it's a buffer object

15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.519
and we can also ask

15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.519
about let me try to remember

15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.440
oh there we are

15:39.440 --> 00:15:40.639
um

15:40.639 --> 00:15:41.839
but for

15:41.839 --> 00:15:45.680
name we can close this and open one here

15:45.680 --> 00:15:48.079
and we can say okay so we have this

15:48.079 --> 00:15:48.959
thing

15:48.959 --> 00:15:50.959
that will give us the name so uh this is

15:50.959 --> 00:15:52.800
similar to the emacs api

15:52.800 --> 00:15:54.399
as we saw we

15:54.399 --> 00:15:55.120
so

15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.519
briefly we have a lot a couple of

15:57.519 --> 00:15:58.639
commands

15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.240
um

16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.160
kills expression also have a little bit

16:02.160 --> 00:16:03.759
of

16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.639
help kill word kill line

16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.680
region

16:07.680 --> 00:16:08.959
kill buffer

16:08.959 --> 00:16:11.440
all things that we expect from emacs

16:11.440 --> 00:16:12.800
um
