Re: [Bug-apl] ]KEYBOARD patch

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi David,

thanks, I have added an optional layout number to the ]KEYB command, see SVN 349.

I have not changed the default display of ]KEYB because ⍷  is not a standard GNU APL
operator (although accepted on input) and cut-and-paste from the default ]KEYB output
would be messed up.

Just do:

]KEYB 1

to see ⍷ instead of ⋸.

The ]KEYBOARD display has one character (⋸) that doesn't fit the
monospace metrics (at least on Linux using GNU Free Font) and one extra
space; these mess up the alignment of the display. (See
gnu-apl-keyboard.png, attached.)

The *gnu-apl-keymap* buffer in Elias' gnu-apl-mode uses ⍷ rather than ⋸
and eliminates the spurious space; the result is a properly-aligned
keyboard display. (See gnu-apl-mode-keyboard.png, attached.)

The attached patch applies both of these changes to GNU APL.
