Uh, I didn't know about that. Hmm, that's the xemacs-gtk that we all tried. :)

But that's GTK, we can't possibly use it, it wouldn't look good and it would 
bring too much bloat/dependencies.

Porting that to Qt/KDE is way too much work for me but let this post be a 
reminder for all those interested ;)

Now that there _is_ a C binding it might be much more easier to replace all 
those gtk-isms, who knows?

That's not too much, but it would explode to something like 500 lines of C++ 
code. It's a functional language we're talking about.

There is some paren checking code in kdevelop 2 BTW, it might be very easy to 
pull it off if I used it.

What features do you have there I wonder. I guess you were referring to the 
C/C++ indentation code in the previous paragraph.

Ah, okay I get your point. I thought you would like the parser to indent it to
  {
     int x;
     code;

which would require an incremental parser. (That's a nice design experiment 
for you kdevelop fans out there!)

To do that I ought t' be checking firstChar() as well as lastChar() for 
opening brace.

Though, that doesn't strike me like a familiar style. Perhaps no need to 
support it? Show me some code that has indentation like that :)

Thanks,
