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