Re: [colorforth] colorForth for Windows -- qwerty and DLLs

Hi John,

Thank for kind words about my work.

I'd agree with you, but guess how many people
will claim they couldn't turn QWERTY mode on :)
So, it was a political decision.

I decided to make it work with qwerty after Frederic's letter

The unusual keyboard layout probably shows some important
concepts or techniques but IMO it also makes it not for everyone, but for
anyone seriously interested in it. I regret that the mainstream Forth
program discards CF that I consider the state-of-the-art of Forth, just
because it is too hard to type something in. I bet CF would become
instantaneously popular with a standard QWERTY layout.
=================================================================

So, let's see if Frederic was right :)

It took me about 2 hours to get used back to qwerty layout in cf, for _me_
it's more convenient ,
though my the first computer had Cyrillic JCUKEN layout :)

Can you describe in more details? Navigation is the same as before -- this
part was not changed,
QWERTY is on for alpha/numeric "boards" -- "M" for prev block, "/" for the
next and other keys -- 
at least, it works on two computers. Please let me know if you still
experience this problem.

BR,
Roman
