Subject: bug#64518: 29.0.92; outline-mode sexp movement commands don't follow outline structure
Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2023 12:21:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ier8rbrpu9x.fsf@janestreet.com> (raw)
This is more of a feature request.
Functions like C-M-f (forward-sexp) and C-M-SPC (mark-sexp) are supposed
to be configured by individual modes to behave in a way appropriate for
that mode. But outline-mode does not do this.
For example, C-M-b/C-M-f ({backward,forward}-sexp) could behave like
outline-{backward,forward}-same-level, since that's analogous to how
they behave in Lisp. C-M-SPC could behave like outline-mark-subtree.
C-M-u could back out of the current heading, up to the next level, lke
outline-up-heading. And so on.
Since these are the standard Emacs structured editing commands, it would
be good for outline-mode to customize them to have the correct
"structured" behavior. (Probably behind some defcustom, since this
would be a behavior change)
Right now they are much less useful than they could otherwise be...
