[GAP Forum] GAP mode for emacs

[Fields, Joseph]

Dear Ivan,
I've just downloaded and briefly tested your emacs mode 
for gap.  It looks very nice!  There is one slight issue that
I've noticed, the gap prompt is a bit mangled (could be I've 
done the install incorrectly...) it looks like 
^[[1m^[[34mgap> ^[[0m^[[31m

I'm running GNU Emacs 23.3.1. 

Thanks for your work on this.

Best wishes,
Joe

Hi all,

I recently made several improvements to my gap-mode for Emacs including

1. Clickable syntax errors
2. Clickable numbers in help buffer (e.g. after ?ConjugacyClasses)
3. Several bug fixes

If you are interested the latest is always at https://bitbucket.org/gvol/gap-mode under the "get source" button (available in .zip, tar.gz, and .tar.bz2) on the right near the top.

Any bug reports or suggestions are of course very welcome.  I still haven't updated the documentation, but in the meantime looking at the menu should give you an idea of how to use it, and evaluating (customize-group 'gap) will show the customization options.  I'm quite comfortable with emacs so I would appreciate some input from someone who is more of a beginner.

Anyway, with the GAP beta floating around and nearing release I was wondering if there is anything I can/should do to prepare it for inclusion with GAP?

-Ivan

I also haven't tested on Xemacs.  The code can be found at https://bitbucket.org/gvol/gap-mode/ so feel free to open an issue there if you have problems or suggestions (or contact me directly via email).

Running gap in Emacs seems to work for me, though I haven't tested it much.  Thus, if you need that functionality, please don't get rid of your old install!
