I've just recently gotten a copy of Matt Dillon's DME editor, and am impressed beyond all bounds. In an effort to produce the kind of editor that I feel comfortable with, I struck upon the idea of mapping many of the keys in DME to closely match EMACS (no flames, please :-) keys, and from there I could modify to my hearts' content. Anyway, after a quick perusal of the instruction file, I produced what appears to be a fairly close emulation of Emacs cursor keys, block manipulation keys, and a few others. My next hurdle is to duplicate the way that Emacs indents C code. Has anybody done such a thing? I've looked at the macros/DMEMacros file in the latest distribution, but really don't like the way the author of those macros indents his work, and I couldn't divine any intelligent way to handle coherent, intuitive indentation. If you can offer any tips, hints, or even a swatch of DME keymap code, I'd be most grateful, and may even post my .edrc once it's as close to finished as I care to make it. Thanks for your time. -=* CWC -- __ _ _ _____ _ ___ __ | Christopher W.
