This chapter gives examples of how to make minor changes to the LispWorks interface.
There are a number of files that contain configuration and initialization information:
config/configure.lisp
contains many default configuration settings. You should created a customized copy of this file when you install LispWorks, as described in the LispWorks
Release Notes and Installation Guide
.
config/key-binds.lisp
gives the default editor key bindings for Emacs emulation.
config/mac-key-binds.lisp
gives the editor key bindings for Mac OS editor emulation, if supported on your platform.
config/msw-key-binds.lisp
gives the editor key bindings for MS Windows editor emulation, if supported on your platform.
.lispworks
in your home directory, although you can change its name and location (see "Setting global preferences" in the
Common LispWorks User Guide
).
By default, your home directory is located in
/users
on Unix systems, and
C:\users
on Windows systems. It has the same name as your user name. So if you log on as
john
, your home directory is
/users/john
or
C:\users\john
.
A sample personal initialization file, the LispWorks file
config/a-dot-lispworks.lisp
, is supplied. You should created a customized copy of this file when you install LispWorks, as described in the LispWorks
Release Notes and Installation Guide
.
Many of the customizations discussed in this chapter involve making changes to your personal initialization file.
