Forwarded from the BTS (#1596). Lest we forget.... * First and foremost, you need to rewrite the fontification of cperl-mode so that it highlights tokens based on symbol-constituent characters rather than word-constituent. Don't suggest `cperl-under-as-char' -- that's totally bogus. In this code: sub open_foo { } I get "open" in 'font-lock-type-face. That's wrong: it should only fontify "open" if it is the whole *token*. And, simultaniously, M-f should stop at the underscore: that is, _ must have "_" syntax, not "w" syntax. * Second, what's this "underline whitespace at end-of-line so that I can't tell whether it's a space or a spurious underscore character" nonsense that got introduced recently? That's insane! Turn it off! * Third, if you're going to do that insane thing, DON'T use the face named 'underline! Use a face named 'cperl-moronic-underline-face or something, so that I can do (copy-face 'default 'bozo-face) in my .emacs file to disable it before perl-mode is loaded. (I can't figure out how to turn this off -- (setq cperl-invalid-face nil) does nothing.) -- Jamie Zawinski jwz(a)jwz.org http://www.jwz.org/ jwz(a)dnalounge.com http://www.dnalounge.com/ -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
