Hi,

I'm probably not the only one who tends to use C-{f,b,n,p} over the
arrow keys, but also sometimes gets annoyed by navigating windows. I
recently realised that the reason I didn't use windmove as much as I
would want to, was that I coudln't find a satisfying modifier-key. My
idea was then to try windmove without any modifier, and I quite like
it. The only "annoying" thing is that I have to bind all keys
manually, instead of using a function like
`windmove-default-keybindings', because `nil' is interpreted as a
default binding.

This patch adds a pseudo-modifier (`none') to allow bindings the
windmove functions without any real modifier or prefix key, depending on
the function.

--

Another question I'd like to ask before trying it out: Would there be
any interest in adding user options for the "default" modifiers that
windmove should use? If yes, one could add a :set function that
automatically calls the apropriate bindings function, when it's value
is non-nil. I have a very customize-centric configuration, where something
this would fit in very well.

Actions that triggered the bug:


M-x edit-abbrevs


Enter abbrevs in fundamental or global abbreviations at bottom of the list, e.g.:


"dfn" 0 "definition"


C-c C-c


Buffer appears committed (modified flag disappears). Close buffer, test the abbrev in "abbrev-mode" minor mode and nothing happens. M-x edit-abbrevs again. The definition I entered is no longer there. This is in the same session. Emacs was not closed/reopened. The definitions are not applying/temporarily saving.

* bug#35367: 26.2; `dired-copy-how-to-fn' and HOW-TO arg of `dired-create-files'
@ 2019-04-21 19:30 Drew Adams

1. I believe `dired-copy-how-to-fn' was added to Emacs quite a while ago
   (1991[1]).  But it's not clear to me what it's really for, and there
   seem to be no uses of it in the distributed Emacs code, apart from
   `dired-do-copy', which just passes it on to `dired-create-files'.
   The variable's doc just says to "See HOW-TO argument for
   `dired-create-files'."

   So why was this variable created?

2. Apart from the variable, why was the HOW-TO arg of
   `dired-do-create-files' added?  I find no uses of it, apart from
   `dired-do-copy' (which just passes it along).

   Presumably someone thought that someone might want to pass such a
   thing to `dired-do-copy', but why?

   Half the doc of `dired-do-create-files' is for this parameter.  And
   its description, although probably correct and complete, reads like
   gobbledygook, to me.

   For one thing, the nil case should not be described under this
   parameter; it should be described as the function's default behavior,
   up above the parameter list.  (That's already 4 lines of its
   description.)

   Beyond that:

   * A value of `t' is unclear to me.  What does it mean to target a
     plain file - is this the same as using a `nil' value?  What happens
     with `t' if the target is a directory or if there are multiple
     marked files?  Is that where the difference lies somehow (how)?

   * A unary function value is the most confusing.  I can't follow it,
     I'm afraid.

   If HOW-TO is to stay (and I assume it is) then we really need some
   kind of motivating explanation - perhaps an example of why/when/how
   you would use a function here.  With no existing examples in the code
   this seems a bit
   maybe-someone-someday-might-need-this-thing-that-somebody-dreamed.

   It was apparently RMS who added this [1].  I'm surprised that it's
   not more clear what good it is.
