In emacs the kill-ring contains not only the most recent kill but previous ones also. In TeXmacs, I don't think more than the most recent kill is saved. If you want to access an earlier kill, you have to undo. > a) the [delete] key should delete the text without touching the buffer. > (This is what my patch intends to do) > b) the [ctrl-k] keys should kill the text, i.e. put it into the buffer > (the "cut" operation) How would you bind [ctrl-w]? I would recommend not changing the behavior of either [ctrl-k] or [ctrl-w], both of which cut to the buffer. In practice, I seldom use the delete key, so it would not bother me if it's behavior changed. But the only case where you wanted to delete something without disturbing the contents of the kill buffer would be if you kill something you want to use later, then do some other operations before you do the paste. I don't think this is how most people work. Daniel Bump _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
