Hi Deniz,
it may help, if you write your suggestion into the bug-tracker. So it doesn't
get lost.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-mode
When reporting, please explain a little bit more the reasons. What's there as
mentioned normally for you?
Exists some coding convention which contradicts?
Thanks taking part
Would someone mind reporting the issue there for me? I don't plan on
using Launchpad any time soon other than for this. If anyone gets
around to doing that, you can use the following description of the
problem:
I'm not sure there is an actual convention that says one shouldn't use
C-h in a key sequence. However, I often use C-h as a "suffix" key to
find out more about key sequences that start out a certain way. You
can try this by hitting e.g. "C-x n C-h", which should give you:
C-x n d narrow-to-defun
C-x n n narrow-to-region
C-x n p narrow-to-page
C-x n w widen
I use this feature quite often in Emacs and I'm sure some other people
do it to. Of course, one can use "C-h m" to find out more about the
mode-specific key bindings, but there is still use for C-h as a
suffix, as it shows you _all_ of the bindings that start with a
particular key sequence.
You mentioned a binding starting with C-c, not with C-x as your example shows
now.
So the matter is done?
Nope. What he actually meant was "don't use ctrl-h in a binding".
Regardless of whether it is ctrl-c or ctrl-x or ctrl-ä.
Ctrl-h is the standard emacs key you can press anywhere in a sequence of
alt/ctrl commands to get a description of everything that's possible there.
ctrl-c ctrl-h: show everything I can do after ctrl-c here.
ctrl-x v ctrl-h: what where those version control commands again...
(What I don't know is where in python mode he found a ctrl-h binding, btw).
