Well, C-\ quickly toggles the last input method on and off. It's not
entirely unusable, bit like "sticky keys".
But maybe a good alternative is a prefix or postfix character. See
attached stab at input methods I just threw together.
They work a bit differently to Rüdiger's: these just follow gnu apl
1.0's documented keyboard layout in particular, whereas Rüdiger's are
more logical/semantic (i.e. his say 'pick' -> ⊃, not '/x' -> ⊃). If you
want to run with them, feel free, anyway.
I chose '/' for a prefix/postfix with the vague rationale other input
methods such as latin-* seemed to use it a lot for miscellaneous
symbols, although OTOH apl code itself uses '/' quite a lot (reduce...).
Could just use another prefix/postfix, but some are more awkward than
others, particularly on non-US keyboards.
With a "M-x comint-run apl" and a "C-x RET C-\ apl-kb-prefix" they're
...actually not bad for interactive use.
(P.S. beware you may want to build gnu apl without color for now if
doing that - its color support apparently isn't adaptive currently. Took
me far too long to work out that my first build was working, just
showing black-on-black...)
