Yes, Robby, that would be great. The default should be to close as little as possible, not as much as possible. On Windows 7: In Firefox, File | _C_ is indeed close *TAB*. In Chrome, there isn't even a close tab menu option. You can Exit (which is pretty unambiguous) or you can kill the tab w

[racket-dev] Possible useful drdr feature?

2011-08-25 Thread Eli Barzilay
IIUC, after each drdr build, it generates the report pages, and then it dumps the built tree. If so, how about changing it: before the tree is removed, it archives the built files (run `git ls-files -o') and makes the archive available somewhere. If this is done, then I can do the following: 1.

In XREPL, I followed the CL convention for "identifiers" that evaluate to past results: ^, ^^, ^^^, etc. CL uses *, which won't work in Racket. Another alternative is what Guile does, use a number instead: $1, $2, $3, etc. Any opinions or personal preference in favor of one or the other? --
