[climacs-cvs] (no subject)

[Sean Usick]

Hello, I am a young hacker in Canada wanting to take up a REAL set of
parenthesis.
I have found I have been slaving away in at elisp waayyyyy to long.

I now see Climacs as the purist lispy editor in existence.

I decided I should carefully read all of the handful of tutorials
available on asdf and its CLOSSY world.  I carefully, manually,
downloaded every dependency in existence, and linked them together to
my symbolic directory.

I fired up sbcl and from a slime REPL loaded Climacs...

And I was amazed to see the mysterious marvel of the makings of a
great text editor!

All was well as I typed: "Hello Lisp" and in pure emacs tradition I
then typed C-h...

And up comes: "C-H is not bound"

So unfortunately I end up coming here asking if someone may have had
the same problem as I.  After a bizzilion tries I find that I can in
Climacs:

type lowercase letters fine
type upercase letters fine
type Meta key chords fine
but when it come to Control key chords the letters jump to a capitol
letter with Control
so C-h becomes C-H.
C-l becomes C-L
C-b becomes C-B
and so on....

And of course my keyboard works fine on regular emacs both in terminal and X11.

I even tried switching back to Debians default qwerty map and
disabling my xmodmap customizations, but it did not change anything.

Sorry to bother the development of a remarkable text editor but I
would really like to get in on the glory of typing high school brain
drizzling assignments on a entirely lispy editor that is a little more
sophisticated than a... um... (ed) !!

And I swear not to touch the heeeeven suite of ingroan toenails
commonly known as Hemlock. (I estimate cmucl has more C and (bash
guess the variable scripts) than GNU emacs!)

Thanks in advance to any help in this direction.
