so far I only tried GNU APL with inferior-apl-mode. Change `inferior-apl-
program' to point to the GNU APL executable and start `inferior-apl'.
I agree that the xmodmap approach isn't very practical. apl-input.el contains
an input method for APL characters. You type $ followed by the name of the
apl character unicode name. (It currently lacks characters outside the APL
FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL namespace). This isn't very practical either. That's why
there is apl-input-x.el. Which adds a variety of different names to the input
method.
E.g.,
("<-" ?←)
("->" ?→)
("each" ?¨)
("&" ?∧)
("and" ?∧)
("nand" ?⍲)
("or" ?∨)
("nor" ?⍱)
("*" ?×)
("%" ?÷)
("/" ?÷)
But it requires some more additions and fine tuning to be really useful.
I'm not very well experienced with APL and only did some APL for fun. That's
why I might not be the best person to implement all of this.
Regards,
Rüdiger
