Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2018 21:17:14 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CE7012A2-D45D-4E17-8621-04411E0A0FED@scratch.space> (raw)


Hello,

I am looking for a one-space after punctuation sentence-ending for M-e to jump by.

Disabling the following variable stops short at Nov. or Gov. (see below) 

┌────
│ (setq sentence-end-double-space nil)
└────

┌────
│ Haley’s departure also stoked speculation she could replace Lindsey Graham as the senator from
│ South Carolina, a possibility that Trump played down. Talk in Washington is that should Trump
│ replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions with Graham after the Nov. 6 congressional elections,
│ South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster would be responsible for selecting a replacement to serve
│ until the 2020 election. McMaster was previously Haley’s No. 2 in the state.
└────

and I’m aware of names like A. B. C. Nurmagomedov which will stop early, too.

What rules specify an almost perfect spot for the end of a sentence followed by single space?; to fit in the sentence-end function. 

Is WordNet useful for this?

│ 178  (defun sentence-end ()
│ 179    "Return the regexp describing the end of a sentence.
│ 180  
│ 181  This function returns either the value of the variable `sentence-end'
│ 182  if it is non-nil, or the default value constructed from the
│ 183  variables `sentence-end-base', `sentence-end-double-space',
│ 184  `sentence-end-without-period' and `sentence-end-without-space'.
│ 185  
│ 186  The default value specifies that in order to be recognized as the
│ 187  end of a sentence, the ending period, question mark, or exclamation point
│ 188  must be followed by two spaces, with perhaps some closing delimiters
│ 189  in between.  See Info node `(elisp)Standard Regexps'."
