Dear Emacs Maintainers, I noticed the following item in the Emacs TODO file: > ** Improve the "code snippets" support > Consolidate skeleton.el, tempo.el, and expand.el (any other?) and then > advertise/use/improve it. To that end, here's a patch which allows using expand.el's `expand-jump-to-next-slot' ("C-x a n") and `expand-jump-to-previous-slot' ("C-x a p") commands with all skeletons. In the current Emacs release, an expanded skeleton adds the locations of `@' symbols to `skeleton-positions' list. One could theoretically convert these positions to markers and write commands for navigating to the locations. Fortunately, expand.el already implements this behavior. The only problem is that it's limited to skeletons being expanded as abbrevs. Skeletons invoked by a keybinding, menu entry, or "M-x" can't use expand.el's jumping commands. This patch changes that by updating `define-skeleton', so that skeleton commands will update the list of markers in `expand-pos' whenever called outside of `expand-abbrev'. What do you think? -- Best regards, Martin Marshall
