When Use native menubar is activated, Mogan crashes a lot on macOS. I first noticed this issue when I found out about the following problem. And it turned out to be related to the native menubar.

After clicking the following button Mogan v1.0 alpha3 always gets stuck.

• TeXmacs: ToC for chapters / sections?
• Table of contents and paragraphs

The user interface of TeXmacs doesn't change much over the last two decades. According to my own experiences, the outdated UI has constantly pushed away newcomers interested in TeXmacs. I think that modernizing the UI should be a long-term goal of Mogan.

The following two issues could be solved in the short term.

1. Updating the icons on the menu seems a viable option and a great improvement in the short term.
2. The dark mode is far beyond ideal for daily usage (see the first screenshot). The switch between light and dark mode should follow the system settings (either automatically or manually in preferences). It would be even better if the paper and character color changed accordingly, like Microsoft Word (see the second screenshot).

TeXmacs 2.1.1 can open all files in one window as tabs as in the following screenshot, only when the following options are turned on:

• always under System Preferences → General → Prefer tabs in the app Preview on macOS, and
• Documents in separate windows under Edit → Preferences → General → Buffer managements in TeXmacs,
• Native under Edit → Preferences → General → User interface theme in TeXmacs,

But in Mogan, it fails.

The official Twitter account approves: We need a similar repository for TeXmacs. :)

It would also work as a part of the official forum.

tm-forge can be seen as a prototype.

Although TeXmacs supports Unicode very well, the code for a specific symbol is hard to memorize; on the contrary, the LaTeX commands of various mathematical symbols are well-known, especially for newcomers interested in TeXmacs and at the same time familiar with LaTeX.

State of the art on The Comprehensive TeXmacs Symbol List (incomplete) is still far from satisfactory in comparison to The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List.

For the benefit of all TeXmacs users, it would be nice to have built-in macros for all the symbols listed in the above file, even though TeXmacs is independent of LaTeX/TeX. No doubt it would be a massive long-term job, but it would be more accessible as community work once the companion website mentioned in #12 is set up.

Problems / questions regarding TeXmacs v.2.1.1.

These functions can be set on as in the following screenshot.

These two functions are killing features that man cannot get enough of. They are also promoted in the demo video of v2.1 (around 1:31, 1:43 and 1:47). It would be absurd that such nice functions are set off by default, confusing newcomers.

There are many plugins whose existence I was not aware of.

Some examples that are not in the official list:

• formatRef
• SIunits
• plotFun
• csvTable

as described in #40

Commutative diagrams are indispensable in many fields of pure mathematics. Still, it is usually not easy to draw or edit them. TikZ and Xy-pic plugins in TeXmacs don't make it easier because, in principle, we draw commutative diagrams precisely as we do with LaTeX. Besides, TeXmacs provides a fantastic drawing tool capable of producing some commutative diagrams relatively easily.

A beautiful tool named quiver does make a big difference for drawing commutative diagrams with LaTeX since it came out at the end of 2020. It makes the drawing much easier and more intuitive. It is the kind of tool that you can't get enough of. Thanks to the excellent work of @darcy-shen, TeXmacs now also has a plugin for quiver.

The quiver plugin and the drawing tools in TeXmacs have their advantages and disadvantages. What bothers me the most is that they are not compatible. It would sometimes be hard to choose between these two.

• The drawing tools in TeXmacs support the WYSIWYG interface for professional writing, especially for formulas, which quiver definitely doesn't have. Quiver accepts only LaTeX code. It is excruciating to switch between TeXmacs and quiver.
• The drawing tools are very flexible in various cases, but the flexibility sometimes becomes burdensome for commutative diagrams. For example, a minor move would change the position of the source or the target of an arrow, and it took me a very long time to get used to operating arrows in TeXmacs. But for drawing arrows, the positions of the source and the target are the only things that matter. Quiver is following this idea. After specifying the source and target, an arrow is automatically well-placed, and curved arrows are clicks away.
• In quiver, the start- and endpoint of an arrow change automatically as the contents on both sides vary. In TeXmacs, one should change them by hand when adding or subtracting something on the source or the target.
• Quiver supports a large variety of arrows and decorations, for example, double and triple arrows, which are very common in mathematics. But I have no idea how to draw most of them in TeXmacs. Especially in TeXmacs, there is no easy way to flip the accent above to below.
• As quiver generates diagrams using TikZ-cd, they are naturally LaTeX-compatible. But in TeXmacs, the diagrams can only be exported as pictures for now.

I strongly suggest developing a built-in deeply embedded quiver plugin for TeXmacs, which supports both the UI of quiver and the WYSIWYG interface of TeXmacs. It would be a more significant attraction for a large group of mathematicians. I sincerely hope that the developers can consider my proposal in the near future. Thank you for reading.

For example:

(property `system :argument)

should not yield #f.

(property `open-gradient-selector :interactive)

yield (#t) as expected.

Debugging

(define-public (tm-property-sub head body)
  (display* "head: " head "\n")
  (display* "body: " body "\n")
  (if (null? body)
      (cons 'tm-property-overloaded (cons head body))
      (let ((decl (tm-property-sub head (cdr body))))
	((ahash-ref define-option-table (caar body)) (cdar body) decl))))

head: (footer-eval cmd)
body: ((:argument cmd "Scheme command"))
head: (footer-eval cmd)
body: ()

(tm-property (footer-eval cmd)
  (:argument cmd "Scheme command"))

;; -->
(tm-property-sub `(footer-eval cmd) `((:argument cmd "Scheme command")))

;; ->
(define-option-argument `(cmd "Scheme command") (tm-property-sub `(footer-eval cmd) `()))

;; ->
(define-option-argument `(cmd "Scheme command") (tm-property-overloaded (footer-eval cmd)))

;; --> 
(tm-property-overloaded (footer-eval cmd))

Extra plugins:

• quiver

Built-in plugins:

• octave
• maxima
• ...

Use arbitrarily many hyphens - ending with a > to produce arrows with arbitrary lengths intuitively as for the usual long arrows.
Additionally, use tab to rotate the above arrows.

Works fine on macOS.

Taiwanese is a term of language. For Mogan, Taiwanese means the computer terms adopted in Taiwan.

It's "fine" for GNU TeXmacs to distinguish the language icon of Chinese with Taiwan. And personally, I don't want to be too politics sensitive on a GNU open source project. I will not create a pull request to GNU TeXmacs to solve this issue.

For Mogan, the language icon of Taiwanese is not acceptable for me (the author of this distribution of GNU TeXmacs).

The project Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine might also be related.

Currently, the LaTeX code imported from Mathpix Snip might occasionally generate extra meaningless blank spaces or *'s between characters, the latter of which especially makes the text unreadable.

The Zettelkasten-style note-taking apps, e.g. Obsidian and LogSeq, support bidirectional links and graph views, which are very helpful in linking the ideas. But none of them has the WYSIWYG interface like TeXmacs, even though they have plugins supporting LaTeX.

Recently I noticed that linking tools provide bidirectional links, which I still do not figure out how they work.

It would be nice that TeXmacs supports these functions, too. I have no clear picture of how these can be done. Just name some possibilities:

• A plugin for Obsidian or apps alike; or
• built-in functions of backlinks and graph views in TeXmacs, cf. the open-source code of LogSeq.

Here are some related forum discussions

• Adding zettelkasten note taking / brainstorming to TeXmacs.
• Bad news? VSCode supports WYSIWYG editing (e.g., see “markless” plugin)
• Make TeXmacs more like Roam Research — an advanced note taking tool?
