Subject: Word syntax question
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:20:25 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mygy0ybq.fsf@catnip.gol.com> (raw)
In the following word, all characters have syntax "w" (and have unicode
category "Ll"), but forward-word doesn't jump over the whole thing, it
stops twice. Anybody know why this happens?
ʇsǝʇ
Starting with point on the first "ʇ", the first forward-word stops with
point on the "s", then another forward-word stops with point on the 2nd
"ʇ", then finally another will jump to the end of the word.
I know that the non-"s" characters are kind of weird, but based on the
syntax, it seems like emacs should be treating them like any other
letter.
[If I do `C-u C-x =' on the various characters, I notice there's a
"category:" field. All of the characters have category "l" ("Latin"),
and "s" additionally has category "a" (ASCII), and "r".]
Thanks,
-Miles
