Subject: kill-region and white space
Date: 30 Aug 2004 18:18:52 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41336f8c_1@news1.prserv.net> (raw)
I post this periodically. It's bothered me for years.
I set mouse-3 to kill-region, and mouse-2 to mouse-yank-at-click. So
I can cut and paste using only the mouse.
mouse-1 double click selects a word, so I'd like to be able to select,
cut, and paste a word using the mouse. However, the double click
doesn't select the white space after the word. I grabbed this code for
kill-word to do what I want. Is there something similar for mouse-1
double click?
(defadvice kill-word (after delete-horizontal-space activate)
"Delete trailing whitespace as well."
(if (looking-at "\\s ")
(just-one-space)))
That is, with this line
aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd
Double click on the bbbbb, mounse-3, and mouse-2 before the ddddd
currently gives:
aaaaa ccccc bbbbbddddd
