Re: CLISP keyboard problem (Alt-Gr)



I am new to CLISP. I don't use EMACS and I probably wouldn't know how
to install it. I have two left hands and my dog knows more about
configuring software than me.

It's not difficult to install emacs + slime on windows. I advise you
to spend a little time installing and configuring it, you would learn
some things and get to have a really cool development environment. If
you're lazy there are packages such as lisp in a box which come
preconfigured with emacs and clisp; I don't know how up-to-date are
they, though. Anyway,

Having given a bit of personal background information, here is my
problem:
I run CLISP (version 5, build 2195) on a Windows 2000 machine with a
German keyboard and I can't enter characters with an Alt-gr
combination. The keyboard seems to be well configured, because I get
all the keys correctly, including those which are not in the usual
position (e.g. the Z and the Y are exchanged). The only ones which do
not respond are those that require the Alt-Gr key (such as the "#" and
the "\").
Does anyone have a tip on how to solve this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I have the same problem, and... it's even worse than that, since not
only you can't type certain characters; you can't even copy-paste them
to the clisp repl, so there's no way to input them to clisp! For me
(Italian keyboard) forbidden characters include the sharp sign # and
the backquote operator... this problem is annoying but since I use
LispWorks as my primary development platform on win32, and even when
using clisp I mostly use it under slime, it doesn't bother me much.
Still, it might be a good idea to write to the clisp maintainers... I
remember older versions of win32 clisp didn't have this problem.
