Well, I've intergrated most of the Athena features into tcsh 6.00.02.
Please try it out and see what you think. I've changed a couple of
the default key bindings, and added a whole lot of new default
bindings. Also, note the syntax for manipulating the keymaps has
changed but the following set of aliases will make things backward
compatable for you.
if ($?version) then
alias list_edit_functions bindkey -l
alias create_keymap keymap create
alias delete_keymap keymap delete
alias copy_keymap keymap copy
alias print_starting_keymap keymap print
alias set_starting_keymap keymap set
alias list_keymap keymap list
alias set_keymap bindkey keymap
alias set_edit_char bindkey keymap base
alias set_prefix_char bindkey keymap meta
endif
The new tcsh can be found in the appropriate bindir in my home
directory. Along with a man page. The man page currently only
documents the unmodified tcsh-6.00.02 functionality, but that will
change. All the new features are from the Athena tcsh so, see that
man page for the rest, for now.
As the subject lines says I consider this still alpha test, I know
there are bugs, but it does work well enough that I'm using it as my
default shell.
