23.0.50; follow-mode does not follow key binding conventions

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

follow-mode binds for example 'C-c b' which is reserved for users, see


   (info "(elisp) Key Binding Conventions")

Too see this do

   emacs -Q

and then

   M-: (require 'follow)
   F1 f follow-mode RET

No it doesn't.

    follow-mode binds for example 'C-c b'

On today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Fri, 2008 Jan 18  11:16 UTC
GNU Emacs 23.0.50.37 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.1)

According to C-h k (describe-key), while using follow-mode on a buffer
full of text, C-c b is undefined.

follow-mode binds follow-switch-to-buffer to C-c . b

The C-c dot bindings that I discovered are:

    C-c . C-b	follow-switch-to-buffer-all
    C-c . C-l	follow-recenter
    C-c . C-v	follow-scroll-up
    C-c . 1	follow-delete-other-windows-and-split
    C-c . <	follow-first-window
    C-c . >	follow-last-window
    C-c . b	follow-switch-to-buffer
    C-c . n	follow-next-window
    C-c . p	follow-previous-window
    C-c . v	follow-scroll-down

	follow-mode binds for example 'C-c b'

Is that a misunderstanding?  It appears
(from your information, confirmed by the source)
to use C-c followed by period, not C-c b.
C-c followed by period is reserved for minor modes.

Sorry, it is just my stupidness. I read it as C-c b even though my 
screen said C-c . b.

Thanks to everyone that cleared this up.
