Emacs is already indistinguishable from magic :).
Seriously though, I actually prefer working with text, even here.
Also, I think this could be improved by making "meta" symbols like defun into different shapes rather than just including them as words. So a definition would look like a different box than a normal statement. Probably the same for &optional. Of course, this wouldn't work for user-defined macros or functions, but it would be nice if just for the standard ones.
- Arelius 15y agoYes, not having that feature is a bit perplexing, I already have emacs do something similar with font-lock. Among others, lambda gets replaced with λ.
- Vivtek 15y agoOh, that's a nice idea. I have to admit that the boxes don't do much for me, but symbols would make it easier to see what's where.
