Re: [Bug-apl] Trouble with diamond in emacs mode

[Elias Mårtenson]

You are talking about . (U+22C4 DIAMOND OPERATOR). It's an alternative symbol to the one normally used in both GNU APL internally as as well the Emacs mode: ◊ (U+25CA LOZENGE).

I suggest you change your mapping to output the latter instead of the former. The former usually renders terribly in most fonts, which is what you are experiencing right now.

In Emacs mode you can type LOZENGE by enabling the APL-Z mode and typing .` (i.e. a preiod followed by backquote).

I just noticed some really strange behavior in emacs mode.  I mapped my Unicomp keyboard and the diamond character works and displays perfectly when not in emacs mode.  But when I use it in emacs mode I experience the following behavior:

When I type:

3 ⋄ 4

in emacs mode, I see something like:

3 . 4

only the dot is more in the position of a jot.  However, when I hit the enter key after the 4, emacs corrects the display so that I now see a ⋄.  I see the same behavior in function edit mode.

In spite of the display, the diamond appears to function correctly.

Just providing some feedback.

Thanks.
