| Allegro CL version 6.2 Unrevised from 6.1 |
Arguments: development-configuration
Returns the editor-mode of development-configuration. The currently in
force configuration is the value of (configuration
*system*)
(see configuration and *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.
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.
