Storm @ 2014-10-29 16:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 18886 I have just upgraded from 23.? to 24.4, and found that two (for me) essintial features of cua-mode no longer works: - Deleted text is not saved automatically in register 0 when overwriting highlighted region. - M-v no longer performs the "repeat last replacement" functionality. Both functions are documented in cua-base.el: ;; Typing text replaces the region ;; ------------------------------- ;; When the region is active, i.e. highlighted, the text in region is ;; replaced by the text you type. ;; The replaced text is saved in register 0 which can be inserted using ;; the key sequence M-0 C-v (see the section on register support below). ;; If you have just replaced a highlighted region with typed text, ;; you can repeat the replace with M-v. This will search forward ;; for a stretch of text identical to the previous contents of the ;; region (i.e. the contents of register 0) and replace it with the ;; text you typed to replace the original region. Repeating M-v will ;; replace the next matching region and so on. ;; ;; Example: Suppose you have a line like this ;; The redo operation will redo the last redoable command ;; which you want to change into ;; The repeat operation will repeat the last repeatable command ;; This is done by highlighting the first occurrence of "redo" ;; and type "repeat" M-v M-v. Since the basic functionality has now been split from cua-mode, I think that those functions belongs in delsel (if anywhere). Of course, the M-v binding should still only be active in cua-mode (since cua-mode takes over C-v it can also use M-v). I guess the functionality could be restored by suitable tweaking of the region-extract-function -- I will look into that possibility. -- Kim F.

Yes, I wish I had more time to dedicate to emacs ... but there is just too much to do running my own business. From my first impressions with 24.4, I can see that emacs developments are still going strong! Good work! I have taken a shot at adding the missing cua features to 24.4 I don't have time to try to get up to date with the repository stuff, so I have just included some patches for you to look at -- please commit them if you think they are acceptable (they are only lightly tested so far). Note that the new defcustom is unconditionally set to ?0 by cua-mode if cua-mode-copy-to-register-0 is enabled (default), Also, the new replace command only works if save-to-register is non-nil, as it uses the old-text copy in that register (instead of saving another copy as the original code in cua did). Finally, using a C-u arg should replace until eob according to the doc string -- it actually replaces max 1000000 instances; this is just laziness on my part.

Thanks, installed into emacs-24, with minor changes (mostly I demoted the defcustom to a defvar, because I think the right fix will be to move the setting to simple.el where it will be configured yet differently (probably allowing delete-active-region to be set to a character)).

Yes - I would like to do that, as the current code is deficient in the sense that any movement or editing will terminate the "replacement text". I will try it when I have some time to improve on it. > >> Finally, using a C-u arg should replace until eob according to the >> doc string -- it actually replaces max 1000000 instances; this >> is just laziness on my part. > I used (point-max) which should work well and is only 4 extra characters ;-) Nice !

Hi Stefan, I have made some progress on this: The following patch eliminates the undo-list hack. It works much better than before, as it is now possible to edit the replacement text before repeating the substitution using M-v. This has always been annoying for me, so I really appreciate your suggestion. Since there is only one active replacement text across all buffers, it makes more sense for me to use an overlay to keep track of the replacement text. If you could install this, I would appreciate it very much. Kim |2014-11-02 Kim F.
