Would be very useful when formatting pdfs into orgs. (2) (forward-clause), (backward-clause) commands, which would be much more useful than (forward-sentence), (backward-sentence), particularly when formatting / reading pre-20th century literature, with its page-length Herman Melville sentences. I suppose a function that sets point to next comma is what I am looking for, even if I'd be stuck incrementally moving inside of lists from time to time. I'm asking whether these functions or similar functions already exist. If I were to write them myself, I also wouldn't mind being pointed in the right direction for models. I'm sure this would require just slight modification of the existing code base. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/two-function-requests-tp34241363p34241363.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
