Subject: bug#16109: 24.3.50; <kp-delete> doesn't delete region in delete-selection-mode
Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 03:28:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877gbc41ly.fsf@mail.jurta.org> (raw)
In delete-selection-mode, <delete> deletes the region, but
its keypad counterpart <kp-delete> doesn't delete the region.
This is what `C-h k <delete>' displays:
<deletechar> (translated from <delete>) runs the command
delete-forward-char, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`simple.el'.
And this is displayed by `C-h k <kp-delete>':
C-d (translated from <kp-delete>) runs the command
delete-char, which is an interactive built-in function in
`cmds.c'.
What could be done:
1. Change `delete-char' to delete the active region (might need a poll
since I recall some disagreements about this default).
2. Bind <kp-delete> to the same command `delete-forward-char'
as for <delete>.
3. Add `delete-char' back to delsel.el since typing `C-d' is handy
anyway to delete the region.
