When I start emacs as this:

% emacs -Q

and type:

  ESC : (text-scale-adjust 1) RET C-b

"(2)" is shown in the echo area.

With a file "~/temp" that contains only "abc\n", when I
start emacs as this:

% emacs -Q ~/temp

and type:

  ESC : (text-scale-adjust 1) RET C-f

"(6)" is shown.  When I type C-e instead of C-f above, "(5)"
is shown.  It seems that the number shown corresponds to the
character code of the last command.

This happesn both with emacs-23 and trunk branches.

That's because text-scale-adjust does at its end

    (push ev unread-command-events)))

and `push' returns its first argument.

Ah, I see.  Thank you for the explanation.  I didn't realize
that when I typed C-f (or C-b), text-scale-adjust was not
yet finished.  It would be better that read-event call in
text-scale-adjust has some prompt:
 e.g. (read-event "+,-,0 for further adjustment: ")

Anyway, I'll close this bug.

For non-interactive use, you should probably also be using
`text-scale-set' or `text-scale-increase' instead.

Agreed.

BTW, I've been playing around with an alternative implementation for
such things.  The reason is that the use of
read-event/read-char/read-key has surprising side-effects: in those
cases I'm concerned with, the user expects that the command is already
finished and the behavior is somewhat consistent with that expectation,
but not completely: indeed typing "any" key sequence (except for a few
special ones) runs the usual corresponding command, but OTOH
post-command-hook and friends aren't run when expected.

So, instead I use a new function set-temporary-overlay-map which sets up
a keymap that's only active for a short period of time (by default just
for the next key-sequence):

Currently, my implementation of set-temporary-overlay-map (see appended)

Shall I install that change, or do you have a better prompt

I think the situation is similar to isearch.  How does
isearch solve it?

With that, how to show the prompt?

Go ahead with your change.  It's not directly related to my alternative
implementation anyway and that implementation is still work in progress.

isearch uses an overlay map (overriding-terminal-local-map) rather than
read-key/event/char.

You'd do it with `message'.

Then, what's the pros and cons of using an overlay map and
your set-temporary-overlay-map?

Doesn't the message disappear when a command in the
temporary overlay-map is executed?

I think isearch would like to use set-temporary-overlay-map.
To a large extent they are very similar, but using
overriding-terminal-local-map means that the non-isearch bindings
(which cause isearch to exit) are not directly available, so isearch as
to catch them with a default binding (define-key map [t] ...), then
exit and push the events on unread-command-events for re-execution.

And unread-command-events is evil because it's hellishly difficult to
make it behave 100% correctly in all cases where function-key-map,
input-decode-map, key-translation-map, keyboard-translate-table,
input-methods, etc... are involved.

But set-temporary-overlay-map didn't exist back then (it barely exists
now) ... and it's far from obvious that someone will find the motivation
to change isearch to use something like set-temporary-overlay-map.

>> > With that, how to show the prompt?

Yes.  So you only get it at the beginning of the lifetime of the
temporary-overlay-map, or you have to do extra work to also display it
later on (e.g. with a post-command-hook: maybe
set-temporary-overlay-map should provide such a feature itself, so it's
encapsulated).

As I said, set-temporary-overlay-map barely exists now and while it
solves some problems, it comes with a new set of problems.  I know its
good sides (the ones that pushed me to try and play with it) but I'm
only slowly learning the downsides.

Yes, that is better.
