Subject: Re: Allegro/Emacs C-a fix From: Erik Naggum <cl@naggum.no> Date: 1998/05/31 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3105642350226000@naggum.no> * David Bakhash | If anyone out there is using the Allegro CL Emacs interface, you'll | know that it really kicks some butt. However, when you're in the | *common-lisp* buffer, like at the top-level, you'll notice that C-a | brings you to the beginning of the line, and that isn't nice when the | prompt is there. No one wants to edit the prompt! this is the official Emacs design policy. C-a should not guess a prompt, it should move to the beginning of the line in the buffer. if you want to move to the beginning of the text after a prompt, use C-c C-a. (if you want to use the C-c prefix for a number of control characters, set the variable FI:SUBPROCESS-ENABLE-SUPERKEYS to true before starting a any subprocesses. see the documentation for the details.) #:Erik -- "Where do you want to go to jail today?" -- U.S. Department of Justice Windows 98 slogan
