In-Reply-To: <200209230244.VAA07692@eel.dms.auburn.edu> (message from Luc Teirlinck on Sun, 22 Sep 2002 21:44:30 -0500 (CDT))
The output of C-h v end-of-line contains the following line:
if N is nil or 1, and point starts at a field boundary, point does not
move.
This is not quite accurate: there is an exception. Point does not
move *unless* the previous character has a non-nil rear-nonsticky
text-property *and* a text-property field eq to boundary. Then point
*does* move over the field. Comint and its derived modes rely heavily
on this exception.
Actually, although the description of the situation is correct, my
interpretation of it was, I believe wrong.
If point is at the beginning of a buffer, or after a character with a
rear-nonsticky field property, different from the following
character's field property, then I believe C-e should move point over
the following field, regardless of whether the previous character's
field property is `boundary'. I checked that this actually was the
behavior in emacs-21.2.90. The problems I described do not occur in
21.2.90. So maybe it might be good to revert to the 21.2.90 behavior.
Sincerely,
Luc.
