Re: [Bug-apl] [Feature request] "]boxing on" analogue

[Elias Mårtenson]

Yay, an Emacs user. :-)

I've been thinking of a feature that would display the result of the last interactive command in a separate buffer. Similar to the variable tracing that exists now, but for the return value of the last _expression_. One would have the ability to choose display format for this value.

Would this be useful, or just another silly feature no one would be using?

Regards,

Elias

Hello!

When experimenting at the REPL, I often find myself typing n⎕CR
repeatedly at the beginning of lines. As an Emacs user, it wouldn't be a
problem for me to adapt Elias' mode to insert that for me automatically,
but wouldn't it be convenient to have it as a feature of the system
itself?

Maybe something like Dyalog's "]boxing on", but accepting the left
argument of ⎕CR (maybe using 1 or 7 as a default when used with "on"),
and renaming it to something like "cring", "autocr", "format" or
similar.
