Subject: want to go to the 2345th byte, not character
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 01:20:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874qbqjol4.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
I'm sitting in a unicode buffer and I want to go to the 2345th byte.
ESC 2 3 4 5 C-f will take me to the 2345th character, wide and narrow
included, but not the 2345th byte. Therefore there should be an
additional command that operates byte wise. No I don't want to leave
unicode mode.
So a C-f analog that counts in bytes would be good.
"byte-forward-char" sounds good but must be an unrelated variable.
P.S.
C-f runs the command forward-char
Move point right N characters (left if N is negative).
Perhaps that right and left stuff should be reworded in view of BIDI
(Arabic, Hebrew) languages? Just say forward and backward?
