Subject: what is the point of point-min?
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2003 18:40:30 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E19s9tu-000050-00@linux183.ma.utexas.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E19s71c-0005cn-KT@monty-python.gnu.org> (help-gnu-emacs-request@gnu.org)

Here is a handy rebinding of <delete> that I found on the web.

(global-set-key [delete] 
	 (lambda () (interactive) 
		   (if mark-active
		             (kill-region (point) (mark)) 
		     (delete-char 1)))) 


and here is an alternative suggestion with one small change that I do
not fully understand.  Why would this be better?

(global-set-key [delete] 
	 (lambda () (interactive)
		   (if mark-active
		             (kill-region (point) (mark)) 
		     (delete-char (point-min)))))
