27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This provides `autoarg-mode', a global minor mode meant to emulate
30 ;; a facility reported from Twenex Emacs whereby digit keys supplied
31 ;; prefix args rather than self inserting, with a digit sequence
32 ;; terminated by space acting to insert the digits.
34 ;; The bindings of DIGIT and C-DIGIT are swapped and a command bound
35 ;; to SPC deals with a numeric prefix arg or acts normally without
36 ;; such an arg. (In the absence of a suitable terminal, you'd
37 ;; probably want to swap DIGIT and M-DIGIT.) See the mode doc.
39 ;; You probably don't really want to use this.
41 ;; Also provides `autoarg-kp-mode' which is similar, but leaves the
42 ;; digit keys alone and redefines the `keypad' keys, `kp-1' &c as
43 ;; digit arguments. (Use `NumLock' if necessary to generate kp-N.)
44 ;; You're more likely to want to use this.

99 In Autoarg mode digits are bound to `digit-argument' -- i.e. they
100 supply prefix arguments as C-DIGIT and M-DIGIT normally do -- and
101 C-DIGIT inserts DIGIT. \\[autoarg-terminate] terminates the prefix sequence
102 and inserts the digits of the autoarg sequence into the buffer.
103 Without a numeric prefix arg the normal binding of \\[autoarg-terminate] is
104 invoked, i.e. what it would be with Autoarg mode off.
106 For example:
107 `6 9 \\[autoarg-terminate]' inserts `69' into the buffer, as does `C-6 C-9'.
108 `6 9 a' inserts 69 `a's into the buffer.
109 `6 9 \\[autoarg-terminate] \\[autoarg-terminate]' inserts `69' into the buffer and
110 then invokes the normal binding of \\[autoarg-terminate].
111 `C-u \\[autoarg-terminate]' invokes the normal binding of \\[autoarg-terminate] four times.
