Switch between Forth program and Forth interpreter #68

Closed larsbrinkhoff closed 7 years ago

@vigilancetech-com wrote in #66:

it might be nice to have a key to flip back and forth between the forth interpreter and the forth program you're editing like geiser does with C-z I think. Even the above behavior of finding the forth process, running the help command there, if its not in a visible buffer, either splitting the currently visible one and then displaying the help there until 'q' is hit, or just flipping the whole window to the forth process displaying the help (not read only, and in interactive mode so you can try tinkering with that word you just got help on) then having the C-z to flip back manually (probably having the selection of these two behaviors on a configuration variable would be ideal)

Yes, that's a good idea.

I think the forth-mode C-c C-z is supposed to do this, but it's probably not implemented yet.
