Summary: If I bind the home key to the macro below and press shift+home
it does not select the text.
Details:
I am running GNU Emacs 22.3.1 on of 2008-09-96 on SOFT-MJASON. On
windows XP SP2.
This used to work in emacs 22. I suspect the problem has to do with
changes to cua-mode (which I have on) and/or transient mark-mode (which
I explicitly set on in v. 22,but now seems to be part of cua-mode.)
Here is the macro definition:
;; Posted to comp.emacs by:
;; Kai Grossjohann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(defun my-home ()
"Toggle the point between the beginning of the current line, and the
first non-whitespace character on the line."
(interactive)
(let ((pos (save-excursion (back-to-indentation) (point))))
(if (equal pos (point))
(beginning-of-line)
(back-to-indentation))))
(global-set-key [home] 'my-home)
My current workaround is simply to comment out the global-set-key line.
Is there a fix to the macro to get the old behavior? Even better would
be something already in cua-mode or simple.el etc that i could use.
Thanks,
Steve
