4:00:24lokeCurrently trying to figure out the most "climmy" way to create the "post message" UI in my mastodon client.
4:16:40beachI think it is great that someone is using McCLIM to write "normal" GUI programs. Mine have all been special in some way. The reason for my wanting McCLIM was to write Gsharp, which is highly unusual as GUI application goes. The other main program I wrote for McCLIM is (first) Climacs, which is a text editor, so not very normal either. My other GUI applications have been fairly trivial, such as TransClime for learning Vietnamese.
4:17:14lokeYeah... In my attempt to do this, I have learned a lot
4:17:47lokeI've noticed that if you treat your application as an Emacs application in terms of design, rather than a "normal" gui application, it all works better.
4:18:00lokeI.e. build all functionality in terms of frame commands.
4:18:43lokeSo, I have a command called "Reply" that accepts two arguments: A message that I want to reply to, and a string containing the text of the message.
