A little logic notation editor

NEM 3 August 2006: Here's a simple little text widget editor I knocked up. Its sole contribution is that it has some convenient bindings for entering symbols from predicate logic. I also added a binding for lambda too, on a whim.

NEM Thanks to the anonymous person who pointed out my use of {*} making this 8.5 only. I've corrected the above (no need for two versions).

NEM Changed equivalence binding to Control-q rather than Control-=.
