- The code for making things "elisp-like" in the startup sequence & similar
- places is now gone. Except for ";" denoting the start of a comment, and
- then only after whitespace, or at the start of a line.
-
- The behavior of backwards deletions across newlines is now fixed. Hurray!
-
- Echo line now cleared on first character typed after it's displayed,
- unless it was a prompt for more characters in the command (C-u, M-x,
- C-q, etc), in which case it's cleared upon completions of input.
-
- The metakey and extended ASCII keyboards get along to a greater degree
- now. For the Amiga, extended ASCII keys generated without the ALT key
- are useable as any other key, and those that require the ALT key can
- be quoted, or entered in the echo line as is.
-
- Added code to get out-of-band data upon reading a file in, and set it
- on writing a file out. See h/foob.h for details.
-
- The Amiga/Lattice version no longer opens a small window when started
- from WorkBench.
-
- Added revert-buffer: verifies that you want to revert from <filename>,
- where <filename> is the file attached to that buffer, then clear the
- buffer & reads in the file.
-
- Fixed write-file so buffer name tracks file name.
-
- split-window now always leaves the current window as the top window.
- This causes find-file-other-window and other such to behave more
- gnuishly, and simplifies the code immensly.
-
- C-x C-o now compresses to a single blank line when it should. Also
- understands that "blank" means "all characters are tabs or spaces".
-
- Completion now works "correctly":
- SPC -> complete as far as can while in a word
- TAB -> complete as far as can
- RET -> complete as far as can, and if unique, return
-
- C-u SPC (C-u C-@) now does exchange-point-and-mark
-
- C-u - is now only -1, not -4.
-
- upcase/downcase/capitalize-word now handle negative arguments correctly.
-
- C-l with an argument doesn't redraw screen. C-u C-l does recenter,
- with no redraw.
- [GOSMACS: C-u C-l is the only command to force a redraw, everything else
- just repositions]
-
- Return onto a blank line now inserts a new line, instead of just going
- down a line.
-
- Fixed bugs in line handling & counting on empty buffers.
-
- New kbd macro support:
-
- No limit on length of kbd macros.
-
- Args to C-x e and C-x ) now work; -1 means repeat until error/abort.
- Arg to C-x ) counts definition of macro as one iteration of command.
-
- name-last-kbd-macro: creates a new macro, prompting for a name. From
- then on, that name is usable like any builtin function (M-x <macro>,
- can bind, etc.) Bindings show up in apropos & wallchart commands.
-
- fset: runnable only while expression evaling, it creates a kbd macro;
- first arg is name, second arg is string to attach to the macro.
-
- insert-kbd-macro: inserts an fset into the buffer at point to build
- the kbd macro who's name it prompts for.
-
- kbd-macro-query: queries user about continuing macro. Replies are:
- C-g: abort all running macros
- C-d: terminate all repitions of this macro
- DEL: terminate this repition of this macro
- SPC: continue going as is.
-
- Macros can invoke macros (by name or by binding). Can do most anything
- inside of a macro eval-expresison, bindkey, i-search, etc.
