I want to put the following question out there: Is there any real need for the existence of the universal-negate command?
Discuss. :) Here are a few points to consider: * For every command that accepts a negative numeric prefix, there is already a corresponding "opposite" command. * If we wanted to bind the number keys to numeric-prefix in content_buffer_normal_keymap, the "-" key could not be bound because it would conflict with zoom. * In emacs, there are a few commands that give special meaning to negative prefix arg, apart from its value as a simple integer. Conkeror does not need this kind of hack because it has a richer system for prefix commands. * It would be one less thing to document, and one less `if' statement in all the commands that accept a numeric prefix. I don't care deeply about this issue, but I think it may be a worthwhile simplification, in that we would not really lose anything of value by declaring that numeric prefixes are whole numbers instead of integers. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list Conkeror@mozdev.org https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
