Subject: bug#26626: 24.5; doc of `last-command-event' and `last-nonmenu-event'
Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2017 10:35:19 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <036c27e0-4509-45e8-942e-9b454b34b0ef@default> (raw)
The doc is not very clear - both (elisp) `Command Loop Info' and the doc
strings.
The essential difference in the descriptions seems to be the last input
event read "as part of a key sequence" versus read "as part of a
command". But "read as part of a command" is unclear. Does it mean
read by a command (e.g., by a call to `read-char' within the command
definition)? No. But that's all I can think of, when reading that
description.
The doc of `last-nonmenu-event' is pretty clear. Or at least it is
before reading also the doc of `last-command-event' and trying to make
sense of that. Even the name of the latter is unclear - what's a
"command event"?
The example given for `last-command-event' suggests that what is meant
is the last event in the key sequence that invoked/initiated a command.
I think that's closer to what the meaning/behavior is.
