With CLIPS, It's possible some of the following?? (V 6.4 for Windows)
1 - Use a command like (clear-window) in the CLIPSDOS console for clear the console.
2 - Use tabs for indentation in CLIPSIDE. When i press tab, cursor goes to File menu item... how to indent?
How do people learn programming with CLIPS? I'm using a plugin for Visual Studio that helps me with the parenthesis concordance, let me use tabs to indent, and other tricks. But it has some problems, and i'm quite worried about the usability of the CLIPSDOS and CLIPSIDE interfaces to this purpose.
Thanks in advance.
In CLIPSDOS, you can use the command (system cls) to clear the screen. This will simply call out to DOS to execute a cls command.
The IDEs use standard text editing classes for the CLIPS command prompt window. Tabs appear to work correctly on the macOS IDE, but not the Windows or Java Swing IDEs, so that will need to be corrected.
While you can directly enter constructs at the command prompt, it's better to edit them in a file with your preferred text editor and then use the load command from the command prompt to load the contents of that file. The IDE supports a command history so you can use the up/down arrow keys to cycle through prior commands to avoid retyping.

So I prefer VScode due to the added features and speed,but I have one problem.I prefer my output in a separate terminal like cmd.In atom the gpp compiler package does that for me.But in VScode,output is displayed in a in-built terminal below your code.I usually dont prefer that as it becomes difficult for me to see the output properly since I have a small screen.
So how can I do that in VSCode?
I am curious to know how hackable text editors like atom and IDEs like eclipse and netbeans run compilations of programming languages in its application and show outputs inside the application.
Do the text editors/IDEs invoke the compiler like we do inside a command line (without having to display the command line GUI) to compile the files and then pipe the output to its built-in command line?
How is it really done?
Thanks in advance.
edit: I would like to know the procedure that those IDEs and text editors take to perform compilations and display outputs to the built-in/plugin terminal. I'm not asking because I don't know how to compile the code I wrote in my IDE.
Atom editor have the appropriate plug-ins.
terminal - the launch of the terminal directly from the atom editor.
c++ compiler - compile and run c++ within atom editor.
It has been like one year or so since I started to learn Emacs, and I do like its power and flexibility as a general text editor. When I had tried its Auctex mode for LaTeX/TeX, I knew I will never go back to read which TeX editor I should use. When I had tried its Pyhon mode, I knew I will never be bothered to choose a Python editor/IDE. Well, the same feeling for the VHDL mode of Emacs.
I do not intend to implement Emacs as a whole FPGA design solution (although I tried that). Instead, I prefer to use Emacs just as an external editor (Xilinx ISE in my case) and follow the design sequence according to the ventor's specific IDE. So according to this Editor Options, I set the editor options in my ISE {C:\Program Files (x86)\emacs\bin\emacsclient.exe} +$2 $1. However if I use runemacs.exe as suggested by Xilinx, everytime I clicked a file in ISE a new Emacs will be started. With the emacsclient.exe it helps a bit.
When I clicked a file in ISE now, its corresponding buffer will be opened in Emacs. But the buffer remains invisible and I have to C-x b to it by my self.
Also if I clicked the error information in ISE's console, the file containing the error will be opened in the background of Emacs with the cursor in the error position.
While it is not a big deal if I compare the benefits and drawbacks brought by Emacs VHDL mode, I do like Emacs can change the file I opened in ISE to the current buffer. So the question is how to set Emacs or Xilinx ISE to change Emacs's current buffer to the one I opened or clicked in ISE?
I suppose it should be some configuration related to Emacs rather than settings in ISE (obvious there is not too much choice in ISE's options). It maybe a simple question but it's beyond my current knowledge of Emacs configuration. I really appreciate if someone here could help me on this issue. Thank you guys in advance:)
P.S. Sorry for my poor English expression. Hopefully you can understand my quesition.
With some configuration it's possible to tell Emacs to switch to the related buffer. However, you might want to consider opening a new window (frame in Emacs term) when you call the editor in ISE.
The command line parameter -c tells Emacs client to open a new frame
{C:\Program Files (x86)\emacs\bin\emacsclient.exe} -c +$2 $1
In emacs, I like to see recently used commands always visible, for buffer operations, so I can select them from menu, in imenu-tree style. I know about smex, that I can invoke with Meta-x. But the visibility is hidden unless you enter Meta-x. These commands could be as simple as 'end-of-line', kill-word' etc ..
I just wrote a small library, cmds-menu.el, which does this. It adds submenu Recent Commands to menu-bar Tools menu.
The library is loaded automatically, if available, when you load library menu-bar+.el. See MenuBarPlus for more about that library.
just installed Emacs 24 on a ubuntu precise OS. The menu bar in the top panel is missing a number of options (e.g. using Auctex, all the Latex options).
I recall seeing on the web somewhere that it was possible to have the menu on top of the Emacs frame rather than the unity default of the top panel. There is an answer on SO for how to enable the global menubar in ubuntu. Can someone please point me to how to disable it in the global menu until it gets to the point where they play well together.
Thanks
Ubuntu has a hardcoded hack to disable the global menubar for applications matching certain filename patterns. emacs is among those, as is firefox, another popular program that suffers from the same sorts of problems of GTK detached menubars not updating in the usual way that X programs expect them to.
Try running update-alternatives to select emacs24 as your default Emacs, then use emacs to start it, rather than emacs24.
I was using the symlink method mentioned by #Bernhard Kausler, but found I couldn't pin the icon that resulted from staring emacs from the shell in this way without it reverting to using the global menu.
I got a working unity launcher shortcut with this .desktop file:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon[en_NZ]=emacs
Name[en_NZ]=Gnu Emacs 24
Exec=emacs
Name=Gnu Emacs 24
Icon=emacs
StartupWMClass=Emacs24
Now I can have emacs pinned to the launcher and it launches with its own menu bar.
You can just create a symbolic link to the emacs??? command you use to launch emacs, and if the symbolic link's name is exactly 'emacs', it will not use the global menu when launched.
This is a known bug with Emacs dynamic menus where changing major modes adds or removes entries from the menu.

It's unfortunate that the names of the blacklisted apps are hard coded into the appmenu-gtk package, and that there does not seem to be a way to add items without touching the source code.
