Subject: bug#37447: 26.3; Commands on <delete> and <backspace>
Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2019 13:45:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f49e689b-ed08-646c-5fc4-da6316dd711b@gmail.com> (raw)
Just a few thoughts about deleting and killing commands.
We have:
+ "Delete"
- <deletechar> [<delete>] (delete-forward-char)
- <C-delete> (kill-word)
- M-DEL [<M-delete>] (backward-kill-word)
? Perhaps C-<delete> should do (backward-kill-word) and <M-delete>
should (kill-word). Then <M-delete> would be like 'M-d', which
seems to be correct way.
+ "Backspace"
- DEL [<backspace>] (delete-backward-char)
- <C-backspace> (backward-kill-word)
- M-DEL [M-<backspace>] (backward-kill-word)
? <C-backspace> as another (backward-kill-word) on the same button is
useless(?), maybe change it to (backward-kill-sentence), because
it's less typing than 'C-x DEL'? And then (perhaps) assign 'C-x
DEL' to new function "backward kill line" (kill-line with 0
argument?). OR let 'C-x DEL' backward kill sentence, and assign
backward kill line to 'C-DEL'.
? Also perhaps rebind 'C-S-backspace' to 'C-M-backspace' for
(kill-whole-line)?
