* enhancement request: have inverse of Info-last - as in Web brower Forward button [not found] <MEEKKIABFKKDFJMPIOEBMEIFCGAA.drew.adams@oracle.com> @ 2004-10-02 21:36 ` Drew Adams 2004-10-02 21:59 ` Juri Linkov 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Drew Adams @ 2004-10-02 21:36 UTC (permalink / raw) Not a bug, but an enhancement request. How about having a command that is the inverse of Info-last, say, Info-forward. Info-last (it would be better named Info-back) and Info-forward would act like the Back and Forward buttons of a Web browser, taking you back or forward in the history of visited nodes. In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2004-07-26 on BERATUNG4 configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.3) --cflags -I../../jpeg-6b-1/include -I../../libpng-1.2.4-1/include -I.. /../tiff-3.5.7/include -I../../xpm-nox-4.2.0/include -I../../zlib-1.1.4-1/in clude' ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

This is not possible with the `Info-history' variable since it actually is a stack, not a list of all visited nodes. However, in CVS there is a new internal variable `Info-history-list' which holds a list of all visited nodes and which is used by the `Info-history' command (bound to `L'). You could try it and see if you still think `Info-forward' is needed. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

It's not the same thing as having Back and Forward buttons (keys). For instance, I have `l' bound to mouse-4, which is bound by default in a Web browser to Back. I would like to bind mouse-4 and mouse-5 to true Back and Forward commands that navigate down and up Info-history-list. I can no doubt write code for this myself, but it would be better to have it in Emacs, for everyone.
