Subject: Copy whitespace-delimited text to variable
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2018 13:40:18 -0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180307224018.GB12710@mail.akwebsoft.com> (raw)
GNU Emacs 25.1. on ubuntu 14.04
Is there an elisp function which would return the whitespace
delimited text preceding the cursor?
Example: in elpy
g.args (where cursor is at or following 's')
(current-word) would just return 'args', I need 'g.args'
and I don't wish to modify the syntax table.
Before I roll my own, I'd rather not re-invent the wheel...
thanks
