I'm about to take a lunch break, but Second Climacs now has a mark and commands SET-THE-MARK and EXCHANGE-CURSOR-AND-MARK. So now, we can start defining commands on regions.

In fact, any operation that implies only the buffer, the cursor, etc. is very easy because of the way the Cluffer update protocol works. The items (usually text) in the buffer can usually be manipulated a character at a time without any need for optimization.

Of course, we want to involve the result of the syntax analysis more than Emacs would do for similar commands.

But I do think the current situation is getting silly. I think we are very close to having something that is useful enough that people might be attracted to work on it. And I have been holding the entire thing up by not working on Second Climacs.

scymtym: But when I posted a link to your latest demo in #commonlisp, there was very little reaction. I wonder why.

i guess we have shown superficially similar demos a few times. the nuances of the progress between such demos may not be as apparent to casual observes
