Subject: How can I contextually override shift selection functions?
Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2019 20:07:20 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Axv4fg.beknXZd5RFfB.KVxcQ2RB4It5hjYRfk2V@freemail.hu> (raw)
Let's say I want to add an override functionality of a shift
selection function. The shift selection handling is done by
interactive ^ trickery, and it's not obvious how to preempt it.
E.g. if I want to do something in certain contexts with S-down then
I'd say:
(local-set-key (kbd "S-<down>") (lambda ()
(interactive)
(if (my-context)
(do 'something 'else)
;; call S-down as usual
(call-interactively 'next-line))))
Only the thing is call-interactively does not work here, that is
it does not extend the selection when I press S-down.
How can I invoke then the original shift selection feature from a
program if I want to invoke the default behavior?
