Subject: bug#34263: 26.1; documentation for kmacro-insert-counter C-u is wrong
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2019 09:54:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADbSrJwYaAcT6yNVnYOyu2ne4qVZLX1+TgPi2c3R8J4b1bMpOQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The documentation for the behavior of C-u argument to
kmacro-insert-counter is wrong everywhere (both in the docstring and
manual, and also for kmacro-start-macro-or-insert-counter).
It says that supplying C-u is the same as supplying C-u 0. This is
completely wrong, and has caused confusion for multiple users (I can
dig up some links if desired). C-u 0 inserts the current value of the
kmacro counter without incrementing it. C-u inserts the *previous*
value of the kmacro counter, which is usually one less than the
current value.
