  To: 52053


Start emacs with `emacs -Q', and click on the "C-x C-f" in the initial
scratch message.  You will get this nonsensical error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Current buffer is not in Help mode")
  signal(error ("Current buffer is not in Help mode"))
  error("Current buffer is not in Help mode")
  help-buffer()
  help-setup-xref((#f(compiled-function #'buffer #<bytecode -0x1c5aa85c15071043>) find-file #<buffer *scratch*>) nil)
  describe-function(find-file)

I also don't understand why it makes sense to have a button there.

Thanks.

I don't think we're meant to have a button here, but we're running this:

(defcustom initial-scratch-message (purecopy "\
;; This buffer is for text that is not saved, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; To create a file, visit it with \\[find-file] and enter text in its buffer.

")

through substitute-command-keys so that the find-file is expanded.

The problem is two-fold: substitute-command-keys shouldn't buttonise the
keys here, so perhaps it should grow a new parameter to inhibit that.

The other problem is that the font-locking in the buffer removes the
nice fontification of the key binding, so that should also be fixed.

FWIW, I don't think it makes sense to fontify key bindings specially in
lisp-interaction-mode.  I expect to see only the comment face there.

Thanks.

We should fontify key bindings the same everywhere (that a user could be
seeing them), I think.

Does that include inside comments in Lisp code?

Probably not -- that's not something that's for the user to peruse.  But
perhaps it should?

I don't think it should, and similarly, it shouldn't apply to
lisp-interaction-mode, which is simply Emacs Lisp mode but slightly more
interactive.

Thanks.

Sure, but that ;; comment there is put there explicitly as a message to
the user.

Then it should probably get some special property.

We could make it something like the explanations for novice users in
`report-emacs-bug'.  It needn't be a comment.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Do not buttonize key bindings outside of *Help* buffers

* lisp/help.el (substitute-command-keys): help-link-key-to-documentation
is supposed to have an effect only "in *Help* buffers".  Detect whether
the output will go in a *Help* buffer, and if not, do not buttonize the
key binding.  Fixes bug#52053.

Thanks, but I'd prefer a less obscure way of telling whether this
is going into *Help* buffers.  Is this really the only way?  Or maybe
the mouse-face etc. should not be put as part of
substitute-command-keys, but by the Help mode itself, when the text is
already in the *Help* buffer?  As we use substitute-command-keys more
and more, these problems will probably pop up more and more, so maybe
we should rethink whether this part is really something it should do.

I agree with you that it's a bit obscure, and I tried to find a better 
way, but couldn't.  Someone else might have a better idea.  I think 
another possible way would be to query this-command:

(in-help (or (eq major-mode 'help-mode)
              (and this-command
                   (where-is-internal this-command help-map t))))

But somehow I find this even less elegant, and I'm less certain about its 
correctness.

With this patch it shouldn't happen outside of Help mode anymore.

It's definitely not more elegant, agreed.

I do hope a better idea emerges.  Anybody?

Yes, but that's somewhat blunt a weapon, I think.  My idea was to
maybe let the caller decide whether this is wanted or not, if we are
going to use substitute-command-keys in way more contexts than it was
originally meant to.

Maybe we should make it nil by default and have Help commands bind it
to non-nil.

The nice thing about it being a comment is that you can still say `M-x
eval-buffer' without it getting in the way.

AFAICS, the options are:

1. Detect inside substitute-command-keys whether the string is for a 
*Help* buffer.  That's what the patch does, it's the simplest solution 
from the point of view of those who call s-c-k.

2. Add an optional parameter to s-c-k to indicate whether the string is 
for a non-*Help* buffer.  That's a reasonable alternative, but there are 
~450 calls to s-c-k in the trunk, each would have to be checked.

3. Add a variable and let-bind it around the calls to s-c-k to indicate 
when the string is for a non-*Help* buffer.

4. Let-bind help-link-key-to-documentation to nil around the calls to 
s-c-k to indicate that the calls to help-mode--add-function-link should be 
skipped.  ISTM that this is not generic enough, if in six months we had 
another similar feature it would be necessary to let-bind two variables 
around calls for non-*Help* buffers, and so forth.

I think the best solution is to change the default value of
help-link-key-to-documentation to be nil, and then bind it to non-nil
in Help commands.

I'm not sure I understand what additional feature you have in mind and
how such an additional feature could be related to this discussion.
So please elaborate on that part.

I have no idea what that feature could be, but the 
help-link-key-to-documentation feature was added a month ago, and 
substitute-command-key is rather complex, so I can very well imagine that 
a new help-frobnicate feature could be added in a not too far future.

At which point we will either make it dependent on the same variable,
or maybe rename the variable if its name no longer fits what it
controls.

Would that resolve the issue?

Subject: [PATCH] Do not buttonize key bindings outside of *Help* buffers

* lisp/help.el (substitute-command-keys--in-help): New variable to
differentiate calls to substitute-command-keys in *Help* buffers from
other calls.
(substitute-command-keys): Use the new variable:
help-link-key-to-documentation is supposed to have an effect only
"in *Help* buffers". Fixes bug#52053.
(describe-key): Use the new variable.

* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-function, describe-variable,
describe-symbol): Use the new variable.

* lisp/help-macro.el (make-help-screen): Use the new variable.

The `report-emacs-bug' message is displayed with a display property.
The actual text in the buffer is empty.

Thanks.  This approach is fine by me, but the variable you introduced
should not be internal, and it probably should be called out in NEWS
(in the Lisp section), because I believe the intent was to allow other
callers to use it, even though currently we have only one such caller.

So a variable that code can set to say 'use this other variable'?
Again, why not just bind `help-link-key-to-documentation' directly?

Maybe I'm missing something, but where did you see that this new
variable is used to set help-link-key-to-documentation?

> Again, why not just bind `help-link-key-to-documentation' directly?

Presumably, because help-link-key-to-documentation is a user option,
and an option which is specific to Help commands?

Itʼs checked to see if help-link-key-to-documentation should be used
(not set).

    >> Again, why not just bind `help-link-key-to-documentation' directly?

    Eli> Presumably, because help-link-key-to-documentation is a user option,

Right. So Help commands should bind it as necessary.

Yes, and that's really confusing.  I wouldn't want to do something that
weird in *scratch*.

Then I think we should not fontify the key binding specially in that
comment.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Do not buttonize key bindings outside of *Help* buffers

* lisp/help.el (help-buffer-under-preparation): New variable
that is bound to t by commands that create a *Help* buffer.
(substitute-command-keys): Use the new variable:
help-link-key-to-documentation is supposed to have an effect
only "in *Help* buffers". Fixes bug#52053.
(view-lossage, describe-bindings, describe-key): Bind the new
variable.

* etc/NEWS: Mention the new variable.

* lisp/help-macro.el (make-help-screen): Bind the new variable.

* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-function, describe-variable,
describe-face, describe-symbol, describe-syntax,
describe-categories, describe-keymap, describe-mode,
describe-widget): Bind the new variable.

* lisp/repeat.el (describe-repeat-maps): Bind the new variable.

* lisp/international/mule-diag.el (describe-character-set,
describe-coding-system, describe-font, describe-fontset,
(list-fontsets): Bind the new variable.

* lisp/international/mule-cmds.el (describe-input-method,
describe-language-environment): Bind the new variable.

* lisp/button.el (button-describe): Bind the new variable.

* lisp/apropos.el (apropos-describe-plist): Bind the new
variable.

Eli, do you have any further comments, or should this be applied?

The basic idea sounds good to me, but I have some minor questions:

I'm fine with this but I ask myself if binding this variable should be
done in a macro (perhaps `with-help-window'?).  I'm too under the
weather to look at or think about this properly, so I'll just leave you
with the question.

> +(defvar help-buffer-under-preparation nil

Should we document what the practical effect of this is, instead of when
it is t?  Perhaps related, is this the best name for this variable?

Finally, does this call for updating the docstring of
`help-link-key-to-documentation'?
