Hi everyone,
This message is to announce two tools intended for programmers who
prefer Emacs over Vim as a choice platform:
+ A fork of Matthew Carter's *metal-mercury-mode*, with seven added
*M-x* commands to reach most Mercury declarations in specific window
buffers:
https://github.com/fabnicol/metal-mercury-mode/wiki
+ A fork of emacs 28.0 vanilla source code to add support for Mercury in
lib-src/etags.c:
https://github.com/fabnicol/mercury-emacs/wiki
This means that Emacs has to be rebuilt from source code, as *etags* is
not a package but an inlined capability.
To facilitate testing, I've included a binary package for Ubuntu 20.10
in the github release section:
https://github.com/fabnicol/mercury-emacs/releases/tag/1.0
Overall, these patches work fine in my ongoing development practice,
with admitted limitations.
User feedback will be appreciated.
Best,
Fabrice Nicol
