- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;; This package emulates the mark, copy, cut and paste look-and-feel of motif
- ;; programs (which is the same as the MAC gui and (sorry for that) MS-Windows).
- ;; It modifies the keybindings of the cursor keys and the next, prior,
- ;; home and end keys. They will modify mark-active.
- ;; You can still get the old behaviour of cursor moving with the
- ;; control sequences C-f, C-b, etc.
- ;; This package uses transient-mark-mode and
- ;; delete-selection-mode.
- ;;
- ;; In addition to that all key-bindings from the pc-mode are
- ;; done here too (as suggested by RMS).
- ;;
- ;; As I found out after I finished the first version, s-region.el tries
- ;; to do the same.... But my code is a little more complete and using
- ;; delete-selection-mode is very important for the look-and-feel.
- ;; Pete Forman <pete.forman@airgun.wg.waii.com> provided some motif
- ;; compliant keybindings which I added. I had to modify them a little
- ;; to add the -mark and -nomark functionality of cursor moving.
- ;;
- ;; Credits:
- ;; Many thanks to all who made comments.
- ;; Thanks to RMS and Ralf Muschall <prm@rz.uni-jena.de> for criticism.
- ;; Kevin Cutts <cutts@ukraine.corp.mot.com> added the beginning-of-buffer
- ;; and end-of-buffer functions which I modified a little.
- ;; David Biesack <sasdjb@unx.sas.com> suggested some more cleanup.
- ;; Thanks to Pete Forman <pete.forman@airgun.wg.waii.com>
- ;; for additional motif keybindings.
- ;; Thanks to jvromans@squirrel.nl (Johan Vromans) for a bug report
- ;; concerning setting of this-command.
- ;;
- ;;
- ;; Ok, some details about the idea of pc-selection-mode:
- ;;
- ;; o The standard keys for moving around (right, left, up, down, home, end,
- ;; prior, next, called "move-keys" from now on) will always de-activate
- ;; the mark.
- ;; o If you press "Shift" together with the "move-keys", the region
- ;; you pass along is activated
- ;; o You have the copy, cut and paste functions (as in many other programs)
- ;; which will operate on the active region
- ;; It was not possible to bind them to C-v, C-x and C-c for obvious
- ;; emacs reasons.
- ;; They will be bound according to the "old" behaviour to S-delete (cut),
- ;; S-insert (paste) and C-insert (copy). These keys do the same in many
- ;; other programs.
