28 ;;; Commentary:
30 ;; This package emulates the mark, copy, cut and paste look-and-feel of motif
31 ;; programs (which is the same as the MAC gui and (sorry for that) MS-Windows).
32 ;; It modifies the keybindings of the cursor keys and the next, prior,
33 ;; home and end keys. They will modify mark-active.
34 ;; You can still get the old behaviour of cursor moving with the
35 ;; control sequences C-f, C-b, etc.
36 ;; This package uses transient-mark-mode and
37 ;; delete-selection-mode.
39 ;; In addition to that all key-bindings from the pc-mode are
40 ;; done here too (as suggested by RMS).
42 ;; As I found out after I finished the first version, s-region.el tries
43 ;; to do the same.... But my code is a little more complete and using
44 ;; delete-selection-mode is very important for the look-and-feel.
45 ;; Pete Forman <pete.forman@airgun.wg.waii.com> provided some motif
46 ;; compliant keybindings which I added. I had to modify them a little
47 ;; to add the -mark and -nomark functionality of cursor moving.
49 ;; Credits:
50 ;; Many thanks to all who made comments.
51 ;; Thanks to RMS and Ralf Muschall <prm@rz.uni-jena.de> for criticism.
52 ;; Kevin Cutts <cutts@ukraine.corp.mot.com> added the beginning-of-buffer
53 ;; and end-of-buffer functions which I modified a little.
54 ;; David Biesack <sasdjb@unx.sas.com> suggested some more cleanup.
55 ;; Thanks to Pete Forman <pete.forman@airgun.wg.waii.com>
56 ;; for additional motif keybindings.
57 ;; Thanks to jvromans@squirrel.nl (Johan Vromans) for a bug report
58 ;; concerning setting of this-command.
59 ;; Dan Nicolaescu <done@ece.arizona.ro> suggested suppressing the
60 ;; scroll-up/scroll-down error.
61 ;; Eli Barzilay (eli@cs.bgu.ac.il) suggested the sexps functions and
62 ;; keybindings.
64 ;; Ok, some details about the idea of pc-selection-mode:
66 ;; o The standard keys for moving around (right, left, up, down, home, end,
67 ;; prior, next, called "move-keys" from now on) will always de-activate
68 ;; the mark.
69 ;; o If you press "Shift" together with the "move-keys", the region
70 ;; you pass along is activated
71 ;; o You have the copy, cut and paste functions (as in many other programs)
72 ;; which will operate on the active region
73 ;; It was not possible to bind them to C-v, C-x and C-c for obvious
74 ;; emacs reasons.
75 ;; They will be bound according to the "old" behaviour to S-delete (cut),
76 ;; S-insert (paste) and C-insert (copy). These keys do the same in many
77 ;; other programs.
