Subject: Custom backspace delete in mini-buffer
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 16:14:51 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18881785.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have defined a custom backspace delete function:
(defun delete-with-closing-bracket-back (arg)
(interactive "*p")
;;Check if point is not the minimum
(if (not (= (point) (point-min)))
(progn
(backward-char)
(if
(looking-at "\\({[\n \t]*}\\|\\[[\n \t]*\\]\\|\([\n \t]*\)\\|\"[\n
\t]*\"\\)")
(delete-region (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0))
;;else
(forward-char)
(c-hungry-delete-backwards)
))
;;else
(delete-backward-char 1)
))
(define-key global-map [(backspace)] 'delete-with-closing-bracket-back)
It works fine, but there is a problem. When I am in i-search mode, pressing
backspace deletes the last character in the window, not in the i-search
mini-buffer.
I do not know much about elisp. The function above I just "stole" together.
What can I do?
Thanks!
Nathan
