Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:55:17 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r53jneb3.fsf@mail.jurta.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <jwv62l1f9r8.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (Stefan Monnier's message of "Fri, 09 Sep 2011 23:03:20 -0400")
After feature freeze please add a new command `wc' that works like
coreutils's command `wc' and bind it to `M-='.
Currently `M-=' is bound to `count-lines-region' that contrary to its name
prints the number of *characters* and lines. At least with the name `wc'
it will be consistent with the well-known shell command `wc' that counts
lines, words and bytes.
`man wc' says that it counts bytes, not characters. So `wc' (`M-=')
could also report bytes in addition to characters, e.g.
Region has 1 line, 22 words, 35 characters, 38 bytes
