Why was the output from `key-description' and `substitute-command-keys' changed to use angle brackets around simple key sequences like S-tab?
I have, for instance, a help string that looks like this when displayed: (S-tab or TAB: list, C-h: help). I mean, that's what it looks like in Emacs 20 - in Emacs 22, the first key sequence is shown as <S-tab>, while the others remain simple, without angle brackets. I'm sure there are good reasons why this was changed, but I'm curious why. Is there another standard function I can call, perhaps in combination with `substitute-command-keys', to get the simpler representation, S-tab, from the less readable <S-tab>? Or should I just roll my own? Also, is there a good way to control which of several key bindings for a command is output by `substitute-command-keys'? The only way I've found is to make sure that the one I want is the last of the key sequences for that command defined in the map - and that's not always feasible. I found nothing in the manual about which binding is displayed or how to control that. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
