Neither of the following binding (global-set-key [(control z)] 'suspend-emacs-or-iconify-frame) (global-set-key "\C-z" 'suspend-emacs-or-iconify-frame) works, Why?

[Bug: xemacsweb] fresh checkout didn't build 13 years, 5 months

Mike Kupfer

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I checked out and tried building xemacsweb, so that I can start submitting website patches. (The paths that it lists for CVS access are out-of-date, and I think I have one or two other issues in my to-do list somewhere.) The "make init" failed trying to run bin/genpage. "ls -l" shows its permissions as -rw-r-xr-x 1 kupfer kupfer 24146 Aug 3 2000 genpage Note that the user permissions do not have the execute bit set. Is there a problem in how the file is registered with CVS on the server? I hacked around it by changing genpage/Makefile to use "perl -w bin/genpage" instead of just "bin/genpage". But I guess that won't work on Windows...? uname -a: Linux assam 2.6.32-32-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 20 21:54:21 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux Internationalization Settings: ------------------------- Environment: Value of LC_ALL : nil Value of LC_COLLATE : nil Value of LC_CTYPE : nil Value of LC_MESSAGES : nil Value of LC_MONETARY : nil Value of LC_NUMERIC : nil Value of LC_TIME : C Value of LANG : en_US.utf8 mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

I guess the real problem is that I don't know what I should test and what the right response is! So if you have some good tests for parse-partial-sexp laying around... Without that I think I will make up some simple tests and go for a patch for getting views.

Re: [Bug: 21.4.17] region too large (fundamental mode) 13 years, 5 months

You wouldn't happen to > be an Xwindows expert, too? :-( Nope. Which is (one reason) why it's useful to keep the discussion on-list. ;-) I'm guessing this has something to do with setting the selection or clipboard larger than X can handle, but that's just a guess. You could try setting interprogram-cut-function to nil M-: (setq interprogram-cut-function nil) and see if that helps. Or maybe someone else on xemacs-beta (cc'd) has a better idea. mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

[PATCH] copy delete-trailing-whitespace from Emacs 23. 13 years, 5 months

Jeff Sparkes

I copied the delete-trailing-whitespace from emacs23/lisp/simple.el. I wrote the documentation entry myself; it needs to be reviewed. I couldn't find a section on whitespace to reference, so I just said "spaces and tabs". Pedantically it removes the regexp \s-, skipping formfeeds. How much detail should I go into? diff --git a/lisp/simple.el b/lisp/simple.el --- a/lisp/simple.el +++ b/lisp/simple.el ＠＠ -329,6 +329,23 ＠＠ (insert ? )) (delete-region (point) (progn (skip-chars-forward " \t") (point)))) +(defun delete-trailing-whitespace () + "Delete all the trailing whitespace across the current buffer. +All whitespace after the last non-whitespace character in a line is deleted. +This respects narrowing, created by \\[narrow-to-region] and friends. +A formfeed is not considered whitespace by this function." + (interactive "*") + (save-match-data + (save-excursion + (goto-char (point-min)) + (while (re-search-forward "\\s-$" nil t) + (skip-syntax-backward "-" (save-excursion (forward-line 0) (point))) + ;; Don't delete formfeeds, even if they are considered whitespace. + (save-match-data + (if (looking-at ".*\f") + (goto-char (match-end 0)))) + (delete-region (point) (match-end 0)))))) + (defun delete-blank-lines () "On blank line, delete all surrounding blank lines, leaving just one.

Emacs compatible completing-read 13 years, 5 months

Raymond Toy

It seems that emacs allows the table argument to completing-read to be a hash-table (or other collection?). Any chance of updating xemacs' version to allow that too?

OK, though I would be surprised if you can’t do it in those macros themselves. -- ‘Iodine deficiency was endemic in parts of the UK until, through what has been described as “an unplanned and accidental public health triumph”, iodine was added to cattle feed to improve milk production in the 1930s.’ (EN Pearce, Lancet, June 2011) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

The technically difficult bit is the design, and we have that already in Common Lisp. The actuallly difficult bit is the manpower. -- ‘Iodine deficiency was endemic in parts of the UK until, through what has been described as “an unplanned and accidental public health triumph”, iodine was added to cattle feed to improve milk production in the 1930s.’ (EN Pearce, Lancet, June 2011) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
