| 1256 | --- | ||
| 1257 | *** The menu item "Open File..." has been split into two items, "New File..." | ||
| 1258 | and "Open File...". "Open File..." now opens only existing files. This is | ||
| 1259 | to support existing GUI file selection dialogs better. | ||

| 1321 | display margin, when run in an xterm. | ||
| 1322 | |||
| 1323 | --- | ||
| 1324 | *** Improved key bindings support when running in an xterm. | ||
| 1325 | When emacs is running in an xterm more key bindings are available. The | ||
| 1326 | following should work: | ||
| 1327 | {C,S,C-S,A}-{right,left,up,down,prior,next,delete,insert,F1-12}. | ||
| 1328 | These key bindings work on xterm from X.org 6.8, they might not work on | ||
| 1329 | some older versions of xterm, or on some proprietary versions. | ||
| 1330 | |||
| 1331 | ** Changes in support of colors on character terminals | ||
| 1332 | |||
| 1333 | +++ | ||
| 1334 | *** The new command-line option --color=MODE lets you specify a standard | ||
| 1335 | mode for a tty color support. It is meant to be used on character | ||
| 1336 | terminals whose capabilities are not set correctly in the terminal | ||
| 1337 | database, or with terminal emulators which support colors, but don't | ||
| 1338 | set the TERM environment variable to a name of a color-capable | ||
| 1339 | terminal. "emacs --color" uses the same color commands as GNU `ls' | ||
| 1340 | when invoked with "ls --color", so if your terminal can support colors | ||
| 1341 | in "ls --color", it will support "emacs --color" as well. See the | ||
| 1342 | user manual for the possible values of the MODE parameter. | ||
| 1343 | |||
| 1344 | --- | ||
| 1345 | *** Emacs now supports several character terminals which provide more | ||
| 1346 | than 8 colors. For example, for `xterm', 16-color, 88-color, and | ||
| 1347 | 256-color modes are supported. Emacs automatically notes at startup | ||
| 1348 | the extended number of colors, and defines the appropriate entries for | ||
| 1349 | all of these colors. | ||
| 1350 | |||
| 1351 | +++ | ||
| 1352 | *** Emacs now uses the full range of available colors for the default | ||
| 1353 | faces when running on a color terminal, including 16-, 88-, and | ||
| 1354 | 256-color xterms. This means that when you run "emacs -nw" on an | ||
| 1355 | 88-color or 256-color xterm, you will see essentially the same face | ||
| 1356 | colors as on X. | ||
| 1357 | |||
| 1358 | --- | ||
| 1359 | *** There's a new support for colors on `rxvt' terminal emulator. | ||
| 1360 | |||
| 1361 | --- | ||
| 1362 | ** M-x view-file and commands that use it now avoid interfering | ||
| 1363 | with special modes such as Tar mode. | ||
| 1364 | |||
| 1365 | +++ | ||
| 1366 | ** Filesets are collections of files. You can define a fileset in | ||
| 1367 | various ways, such as based on a directory tree or based on | ||
| 1368 | program files that include other program files. | ||
| 1369 | |||
| 1370 | Once you have defined a fileset, you can perform various operations on | ||
| 1371 | all the files in it, such as visiting them or searching and replacing | ||

| 1394 | Calc is an advanced desk calculator and mathematical tool written in | ||
| 1395 | Emacs Lisp. Its documentation is in a separate manual; within Emacs, | ||
| 1396 | type "C-h i m calc RET" to read that manual. A reference card is | ||
| 1397 | available in `etc/calccard.tex' and `etc/calccard.ps'. | ||

| 1404 | ** The new package conf-mode.el handles thousands of configuration files, with | ||
| 1405 | varying syntaxes for comments (;, #, //, /* */ or !), assignment (var = value, | ||
| 1406 | var : value, var value or keyword var value) and sections ([section] or | ||
| 1407 | section { }). Many files under /etc/, or with suffixes like .cf through | ||
| 1408 | .config, .properties (Java), .desktop (KDE/Gnome), .ini and many others are | ||
| 1409 | recognized. | ||
| 1410 | |||
| 1411 | --- | ||
| 1412 | ** CUA mode is now part of the Emacs distribution. | ||
| 1413 | |||
| 1414 | The new cua package provides CUA-like keybindings using C-x for | ||
| 1415 | cut (kill), C-c for copy, C-v for paste (yank), and C-z for undo. | ||
| 1416 | With cua, the region can be set and extended using shifted movement | ||
| 1417 | keys (like pc-selection-mode) and typed text replaces the active | ||
| 1418 | region (like delete-selection-mode). Do not enable these modes with | ||
| 1419 | cua-mode. Customize the variable `cua-mode' to enable cua. | ||
| 1420 | |||
| 1421 | In addition, cua provides unified rectangle support with visible | ||
| 1422 | rectangle highlighting: Use S-return to start a rectangle, extend it | ||
| 1423 | using the movement commands (or mouse-3), and cut or copy it using C-x | ||
| 1424 | or C-c (using C-w and M-w also works). | ||
| 1425 | |||
| 1426 | Use M-o and M-c to `open' or `close' the rectangle, use M-b or M-f, to | ||
| 1427 | fill it with blanks or another character, use M-u or M-l to upcase or | ||
| 1428 | downcase the rectangle, use M-i to increment the numbers in the | ||
| 1429 | rectangle, use M-n to fill the rectangle with a numeric sequence (such | ||
| 1430 | as 10 20 30...), use M-r to replace a regexp in the rectangle, and use | ||
| 1431 | M-' or M-/ to restrict command on the rectangle to a subset of the | ||
| 1432 | rows. See the commentary in cua-base.el for more rectangle commands. | ||
| 1433 | |||
| 1434 | Cua also provides unified support for registers: Use a numeric | ||
| 1435 | prefix argument between 0 and 9, i.e. M-0 .. M-9, for C-x, C-c, and | ||
| 1436 | C-v to cut or copy into register 0-9, or paste from register 0-9. | ||
| 1437 | |||
| 1438 | The last text deleted (not killed) is automatically stored in | ||
| 1439 | register 0. This includes text deleted by typing text. | ||
| 1440 | |||
| 1441 | Finally, cua provides a global mark which is set using S-C-space. | ||
| 1442 | When the global mark is active, any text which is cut or copied is | ||
| 1443 | automatically inserted at the global mark position. See the | ||
| 1444 | commentary in cua-base.el for more global mark related commands. | ||
| 1445 | |||
| 1446 | The features of cua also works with the standard emacs bindings for | ||
| 1447 | kill, copy, yank, and undo. If you want to use cua mode, but don't | ||
| 1448 | want the C-x, C-c, C-v, and C-z bindings, you may customize the | ||
| 1449 | `cua-enable-cua-keys' variable. | ||
| 1450 | |||
| 1451 | Note: This version of cua mode is not backwards compatible with older | ||
| 1452 | versions of cua.el and cua-mode.el. To ensure proper operation, you | ||
| 1453 | must remove older versions of cua.el or cua-mode.el as well as the | ||
| 1454 | loading and customization of those packages from the .emacs file. | ||
| 1455 | |||
| 1456 | +++ | ||
| 1457 | ** The new package dns-mode.el add syntax highlight of DNS master files. | ||
| 1458 | The key binding C-c C-s (`dns-mode-soa-increment-serial') can be used | ||
| 1459 | to increment the SOA serial. | ||
| 1460 | |||
| 1461 | --- | ||
| 1462 | ** The new global minor mode `file-name-shadow-mode' modifies the way | ||
| 1463 | filenames being entered by the user in the minibuffer are displayed, so | ||
| 1464 | that it's clear when part of the entered filename will be ignored due to | ||
| 1465 | emacs' filename parsing rules. The ignored portion can be made dim, | ||
| 1466 | invisible, or otherwise less visually noticable. The display method may | ||
| 1467 | be displayed by customizing the variable `file-name-shadow-properties'. | ||
| 1468 | |||
| 1469 | +++ | ||
| 1470 | ** The new package flymake.el does on-the-fly syntax checking of program | ||
| 1471 | source files. See the Flymake's Info manual for more details. | ||
| 1472 | |||
| 1473 | --- | ||
| 1474 | ** The new Lisp library fringe.el controls the appearance of fringes. | ||
| 1475 | |||
| 1476 | --- | ||
| 1477 | ** GDB-Script-mode is used for files like .gdbinit. | ||
| 1478 | |||
| 1479 | +++ | ||
| 1480 | ** The new package gdb-ui.el provides an enhanced graphical interface to | ||
| 1481 | GDB. You can interact with GDB through the GUD buffer in the usual way, but | ||
| 1482 | there are also further buffers which control the execution and describe the | ||
| 1483 | state of your program. It separates the input/output of your program from | ||
| 1484 | that of GDB and watches expressions in the speedbar. It also uses features of | ||
| 1485 | Emacs 21 such as the display margin for breakpoints, and the toolbar. | ||
| 1486 | |||
| 1487 | Use M-x gdba to start GDB-UI. | ||

| 1496 | The ido (interactively do) package is an extension of the iswitchb | ||
| 1497 | package to do interactive opening of files and directories in addition | ||
| 1498 | to interactive buffer switching. Ido is a superset of iswitchb (with | ||
| 1499 | a few exceptions), so don't enable both packages. | ||

| 1505 | +++ | ||
| 1506 | ** The new keypad setup package provides several common bindings for | ||
| 1507 | the numeric keypad which is available on most keyboards. The numeric | ||
| 1508 | keypad typically has the digits 0 to 9, a decimal point, keys marked | ||
| 1509 | +, -, /, and *, an Enter key, and a NumLock toggle key. The keypad | ||
| 1510 | package only controls the use of the digit and decimal keys. | ||
| 1511 | |||
| 1512 | By customizing the variables `keypad-setup', `keypad-shifted-setup', | ||
| 1513 | `keypad-numlock-setup', and `keypad-numlock-shifted-setup', or by | ||
| 1514 | using the function `keypad-setup', you can rebind all digit keys and | ||
| 1515 | the decimal key of the keypad in one step for each of the four | ||
| 1516 | possible combinations of the Shift key state (not pressed/pressed) and | ||
| 1517 | the NumLock toggle state (off/on). | ||
| 1518 | |||
| 1519 | The choices for the keypad keys in each of the above states are: | ||
| 1520 | `Plain numeric keypad' where the keys generates plain digits, | ||
| 1521 | `Numeric keypad with decimal key' where the character produced by the | ||
| 1522 | decimal key can be customized individually (for internationalization), | ||
| 1523 | `Numeric Prefix Arg' where the keypad keys produce numeric prefix args | ||
| 1524 | for emacs editing commands, `Cursor keys' and `Shifted Cursor keys' | ||
| 1525 | where the keys work like (shifted) arrow keys, home/end, etc., and | ||
| 1526 | `Unspecified/User-defined' where the keypad keys (kp-0, kp-1, etc.) | ||
| 1527 | are left unspecified and can be bound individually through the global | ||
| 1528 | or local keymaps. | ||
| 1529 | |||
| 1530 | +++ | ||
| 1531 | ** The new kmacro package provides a simpler user interface to | ||
| 1532 | emacs' keyboard macro facilities. | ||
| 1533 | |||
| 1534 | Basically, it uses two function keys (default F3 and F4) like this: | ||
| 1535 | F3 starts a macro, F4 ends the macro, and pressing F4 again executes | ||
| 1536 | the last macro. While defining the macro, F3 inserts a counter value | ||
| 1537 | which automatically increments every time the macro is executed. | ||
| 1538 | |||
| 1539 | There is now a keyboard macro ring which stores the most recently | ||
| 1540 | defined macros. | ||
| 1541 | |||
| 1542 | The C-x C-k sequence is now a prefix for the kmacro keymap which | ||
| 1543 | defines bindings for moving through the keyboard macro ring, | ||
| 1544 | C-x C-k C-p and C-x C-k C-n, editing the last macro C-x C-k C-e, | ||
| 1545 | manipulating the macro counter and format via C-x C-k C-c, | ||
| 1546 | C-x C-k C-a, and C-x C-k C-f. See the commentary in kmacro.el | ||
| 1547 | for more commands. | ||
| 1548 | |||
| 1549 | The normal macro bindings C-x (, C-x ), and C-x e now interfaces to | ||
| 1550 | the keyboard macro ring. | ||
| 1551 | |||
| 1552 | The C-x e command now automatically terminates the current macro | ||
| 1553 | before calling it, if used while defining a macro. | ||
| 1554 | |||
| 1555 | In addition, when ending or calling a macro with C-x e, the macro can | ||
| 1556 | be repeated immediately by typing just the `e'. You can customize | ||
| 1557 | this behavior via the variable kmacro-call-repeat-key and | ||
| 1558 | kmacro-call-repeat-with-arg. | ||
| 1559 | |||
| 1560 | Keyboard macros can now be debugged and edited interactively. | ||
| 1561 | C-x C-k SPC steps through the last keyboard macro one key sequence | ||
| 1562 | at a time, prompting for the actions to take. | ||
| 1563 | |||
| 1564 | +++ | ||
| 1565 | ** The new package longlines.el provides a minor mode for editing text | ||
| 1566 | files composed of long lines, based on the `use-hard-newlines' | ||
| 1567 | mechanism. The long lines are broken up by inserting soft newlines, | ||
| 1568 | which are automatically removed when saving the file to disk or | ||
| 1569 | copying into the kill ring, clipboard, etc. By default, Longlines | ||
| 1570 | mode inserts soft newlines automatically during editing, a behavior | ||
| 1571 | referred to as "soft word wrap" in other text editors. This is | ||
| 1572 | similar to Refill mode, but more reliable. To turn the word wrap | ||
| 1573 | feature off, set `longlines-auto-wrap' to nil. | ||
| 1574 | |||
| 1575 | --- | ||

| 1585 | with a Print sub-menu which allows you to preview output through | ||
| 1586 | ghostview, use ghostscript to print (if you don't have a PostScript | ||

| 1631 | |||
| 1632 | This package is similar to Ange-FTP: it allows you to edit remote | ||
| 1633 | files. But whereas Ange-FTP uses FTP to access the remote host, | ||
| 1634 | Tramp uses a shell connection. The shell connection is always used | ||
| 1635 | for filename completion and directory listings and suchlike, but for | ||
| 1636 | the actual file transfer, you can choose between the so-called | ||
| 1637 | `inline' methods (which transfer the files through the shell | ||
| 1638 | connection using base64 or uu encoding) and the `out-of-band' methods | ||
| 1639 | (which invoke an external copying program such as `rcp' or `scp' or | ||
| 1640 | `rsync' to do the copying). | ||
| 1641 | |||
| 1642 | Shell connections can be acquired via `rsh', `ssh', `telnet' and also | ||
| 1643 | `su' and `sudo'. Ange-FTP is still supported via the `ftp' method. | ||
| 1644 | |||

| 2192 | ** Changes in support of colors on character terminals | ||
| 2193 | |||
| 2194 | +++ | ||
| 2195 | *** The new command-line option --color=MODE lets you specify a standard | ||
| 2196 | mode for a tty color support. It is meant to be used on character | ||
| 2197 | terminals whose capabilities are not set correctly in the terminal | ||
| 2198 | database, or with terminal emulators which support colors, but don't | ||
| 2199 | set the TERM environment variable to a name of a color-capable | ||
| 2200 | terminal. "emacs --color" uses the same color commands as GNU `ls' | ||
| 2201 | when invoked with "ls --color", so if your terminal can support colors | ||
| 2202 | in "ls --color", it will support "emacs --color" as well. See the | ||
| 2203 | user manual for the possible values of the MODE parameter. | ||
| 2204 | |||
| 2205 | --- | ||
| 2206 | *** Emacs now supports several character terminals which provide more | ||
| 2207 | than 8 colors. For example, for `xterm', 16-color, 88-color, and | ||
| 2208 | 256-color modes are supported. Emacs automatically notes at startup | ||
| 2209 | the extended number of colors, and defines the appropriate entries for | ||
| 2210 | all of these colors. | ||
| 2211 | |||
| 2212 | +++ | ||
| 2213 | *** Emacs now uses the full range of available colors for the default | ||
| 2214 | faces when running on a color terminal, including 16-, 88-, and | ||
| 2215 | 256-color xterms. This means that when you run "emacs -nw" on an | ||
| 2216 | 88-color or 256-color xterm, you will see essentially the same face | ||
| 2217 | colors as on X. | ||
| 2218 | |||
| 2219 | --- | ||
| 2220 | *** There's a new support for colors on `rxvt' terminal emulator. | ||
| 2221 | |||
| 2222 | +++ | ||
| 2223 | ** Passing resources on the command line now works on MS Windows. | ||
| 2224 | You can use --xrm to pass resource settings to Emacs, overriding any | ||
| 2225 | existing values. For example: | ||
| 2226 | |||
| 2227 | emacs --xrm "Emacs.Background:red" --xrm "Emacs.Geometry:100x20" | ||
| 2228 | |||
| 2229 | will start up Emacs on an initial frame of 100x20 with red background, | ||
| 2230 | irrespective of geometry or background setting on the Windows registry. | ||
| 2231 | |||
| 2232 | --- | ||
| 2233 | ** On MS Windows, the "system caret" now follows the cursor. | ||
| 2234 | This enables Emacs to work better with programs that need to track | ||
| 2235 | the cursor, for example screen magnifiers and text to speech programs. | ||
| 2236 | |||
| 2237 | --- | ||
| 2238 | ** Tooltips now work on MS Windows. | ||
| 2239 | See the Emacs 21.1 NEWS entry for tooltips for details. | ||
| 2240 | |||
| 2241 | --- | ||
| 2242 | ** Images are now supported on MS Windows. | ||
| 2243 | PBM and XBM images are supported out of the box. Other image formats | ||
| 2244 | depend on external libraries. All of these libraries have been ported | ||
| 2245 | to Windows, and can be found in both source and binary form at | ||
| 2246 | http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/. Note that libpng also depends on | ||
| 2247 | zlib, and tiff depends on the version of jpeg that it was compiled | ||
| 2248 | against. For additional information, see nt/INSTALL. | ||
| 2249 | |||
| 2250 | --- | ||
| 2251 | ** Sound is now supported on MS Windows. | ||
| 2252 | WAV format is supported on all versions of Windows, other formats such | ||
| 2253 | as AU, AIFF and MP3 may be supported in the more recent versions of | ||
| 2254 | Windows, or when other software provides hooks into the system level | ||
| 2255 | sound support for those formats. | ||
| 2256 | |||
| 2257 | --- | ||
| 2258 | ** Different shaped mouse pointers are supported on MS Windows. | ||
| 2259 | The mouse pointer changes shape depending on what is under the pointer. | ||
| 2260 | |||
| 2261 | --- | ||
| 2262 | ** Pointing devices with more than 3 buttons are now supported on MS Windows. | ||
| 2263 | The new variable `w32-pass-extra-mouse-buttons-to-system' controls | ||
| 2264 | whether Emacs should handle the extra buttons itself (the default), or | ||
| 2265 | pass them to Windows to be handled with system-wide functions. | ||
| 2266 | |||
| 2267 | --- | ||
| 2268 | ** Emacs takes note of colors defined in Control Panel on MS-Windows. | ||
| 2269 | The Control Panel defines some default colors for applications in much | ||
| 2270 | the same way as wildcard X Resources do on X. Emacs now adds these | ||
| 2271 | colors to the colormap prefixed by System (eg SystemMenu for the | ||
| 2272 | default Menu background, SystemMenuText for the foreground), and uses | ||
| 2273 | some of them to initialize some of the default faces. | ||
| 2274 | `list-colors-display' shows the list of System color names, in case | ||
| 2275 | you wish to use them in other faces. | ||
| 2276 | |||
| 2277 | --- | ||
| 2278 | ** On MS Windows NT/W2K/XP, Emacs uses Unicode for clipboard operations. | ||
| 2279 | Those systems use Unicode internally, so this allows Emacs to share | ||
| 2280 | multilingual text with other applications. On other versions of | ||
| 2281 | MS Windows, Emacs now uses the appropriate locale coding-system, so | ||
| 2282 | the clipboard should work correctly for your local language without | ||
| 2283 | any customizations. | ||

| 2523 | --- | ||
| 2524 | ** CUA mode is now part of the Emacs distribution. | ||
| 2525 | |||
| 2526 | The new cua package provides CUA-like keybindings using C-x for | ||
| 2527 | cut (kill), C-c for copy, C-v for paste (yank), and C-z for undo. | ||
| 2528 | With cua, the region can be set and extended using shifted movement | ||
| 2529 | keys (like pc-selection-mode) and typed text replaces the active | ||
| 2530 | region (like delete-selection-mode). Do not enable these modes with | ||
| 2531 | cua-mode. Customize the variable `cua-mode' to enable cua. | ||
| 2532 | |||
| 2533 | In addition, cua provides unified rectangle support with visible | ||
| 2534 | rectangle highlighting: Use S-return to start a rectangle, extend it | ||
| 2535 | using the movement commands (or mouse-3), and cut or copy it using C-x | ||
| 2536 | or C-c (using C-w and M-w also works). | ||
| 2537 | |||
| 2538 | Use M-o and M-c to `open' or `close' the rectangle, use M-b or M-f, to | ||
| 2539 | fill it with blanks or another character, use M-u or M-l to upcase or | ||
| 2540 | downcase the rectangle, use M-i to increment the numbers in the | ||
| 2541 | rectangle, use M-n to fill the rectangle with a numeric sequence (such | ||
| 2542 | as 10 20 30...), use M-r to replace a regexp in the rectangle, and use | ||
| 2543 | M-' or M-/ to restrict command on the rectangle to a subset of the | ||
| 2544 | rows. See the commentary in cua-base.el for more rectangle commands. | ||
| 2545 | |||
| 2546 | Cua also provides unified support for registers: Use a numeric | ||
| 2547 | prefix argument between 0 and 9, i.e. M-0 .. M-9, for C-x, C-c, and | ||
| 2548 | C-v to cut or copy into register 0-9, or paste from register 0-9. | ||
| 2549 | |||
| 2550 | The last text deleted (not killed) is automatically stored in | ||
| 2551 | register 0. This includes text deleted by typing text. | ||
| 2552 | |||
| 2553 | Finally, cua provides a global mark which is set using S-C-space. | ||
| 2554 | When the global mark is active, any text which is cut or copied is | ||
| 2555 | automatically inserted at the global mark position. See the | ||
| 2556 | commentary in cua-base.el for more global mark related commands. | ||
| 2557 | |||
| 2558 | The features of cua also works with the standard emacs bindings for | ||
| 2559 | kill, copy, yank, and undo. If you want to use cua mode, but don't | ||
| 2560 | want the C-x, C-c, C-v, and C-z bindings, you may customize the | ||
| 2561 | `cua-enable-cua-keys' variable. | ||
| 2562 | |||
| 2563 | Note: This version of cua mode is not backwards compatible with older | ||
| 2564 | versions of cua.el and cua-mode.el. To ensure proper operation, you | ||
| 2565 | must remove older versions of cua.el or cua-mode.el as well as the | ||

| 2618 | ** The new keypad setup package provides several common bindings for | ||
| 2619 | the numeric keypad which is available on most keyboards. The numeric | ||
| 2620 | keypad typically has the digits 0 to 9, a decimal point, keys marked | ||
| 2621 | +, -, /, and *, an Enter key, and a NumLock toggle key. The keypad | ||
| 2622 | package only controls the use of the digit and decimal keys. | ||
| 2623 | |||
| 2624 | By customizing the variables `keypad-setup', `keypad-shifted-setup', | ||
| 2625 | `keypad-numlock-setup', and `keypad-numlock-shifted-setup', or by | ||
| 2626 | using the function `keypad-setup', you can rebind all digit keys and | ||
| 2627 | the decimal key of the keypad in one step for each of the four | ||
| 2628 | possible combinations of the Shift key state (not pressed/pressed) and | ||
| 2629 | the NumLock toggle state (off/on). | ||
| 2630 | |||
| 2631 | The choices for the keypad keys in each of the above states are: | ||
| 2632 | `Plain numeric keypad' where the keys generates plain digits, | ||
| 2633 | `Numeric keypad with decimal key' where the character produced by the | ||
| 2634 | decimal key can be customized individually (for internationalization), | ||
| 2635 | `Numeric Prefix Arg' where the keypad keys produce numeric prefix args | ||
| 2636 | for emacs editing commands, `Cursor keys' and `Shifted Cursor keys' | ||
| 2637 | where the keys work like (shifted) arrow keys, home/end, etc., and | ||
| 2638 | `Unspecified/User-defined' where the keypad keys (kp-0, kp-1, etc.) | ||
| 2639 | are left unspecified and can be bound individually through the global | ||
| 2640 | or local keymaps. | ||
| 2641 | |||
| 2642 | +++ | ||
| 2643 | ** The new kmacro package provides a simpler user interface to | ||
| 2644 | emacs' keyboard macro facilities. | ||
| 2645 | |||
| 2646 | Basically, it uses two function keys (default F3 and F4) like this: | ||
| 2647 | F3 starts a macro, F4 ends the macro, and pressing F4 again executes | ||
| 2648 | the last macro. While defining the macro, F3 inserts a counter value | ||
| 2649 | which automatically increments every time the macro is executed. | ||
| 2650 | |||
| 2651 | There is now a keyboard macro ring which stores the most recently | ||
| 2652 | defined macros. | ||
| 2653 | |||
| 2654 | The C-x C-k sequence is now a prefix for the kmacro keymap which | ||
| 2655 | defines bindings for moving through the keyboard macro ring, | ||
| 2656 | C-x C-k C-p and C-x C-k C-n, editing the last macro C-x C-k C-e, | ||
| 2657 | manipulating the macro counter and format via C-x C-k C-c, | ||
| 2658 | C-x C-k C-a, and C-x C-k C-f. See the commentary in kmacro.el | ||
| 2659 | for more commands. | ||
| 2660 | |||
| 2661 | The normal macro bindings C-x (, C-x ), and C-x e now interfaces to | ||
| 2662 | the keyboard macro ring. | ||
| 2663 | |||
| 2664 | The C-x e command now automatically terminates the current macro | ||
| 2665 | before calling it, if used while defining a macro. | ||
| 2666 | |||
| 2667 | In addition, when ending or calling a macro with C-x e, the macro can | ||
| 2668 | be repeated immediately by typing just the `e'. You can customize | ||
| 2669 | this behavior via the variable kmacro-call-repeat-key and | ||
| 2670 | kmacro-call-repeat-with-arg. | ||
| 2671 | |||
| 2672 | Keyboard macros can now be debugged and edited interactively. | ||
| 2673 | C-x C-k SPC steps through the last keyboard macro one key sequence | ||
| 2674 | at a time, prompting for the actions to take. | ||
| 2675 | |||
| 2676 | +++ | ||
| 2677 | ** The new package longlines.el provides a minor mode for editing text | ||
| 2678 | files composed of long lines, based on the `use-hard-newlines' | ||
| 2679 | mechanism. The long lines are broken up by inserting soft newlines, | ||
| 2680 | which are automatically removed when saving the file to disk or | ||
| 2681 | copying into the kill ring, clipboard, etc. By default, Longlines | ||
| 2682 | mode inserts soft newlines automatically during editing, a behavior | ||
| 2683 | referred to as "soft word wrap" in other text editors. This is | ||
| 2684 | similar to Refill mode, but more reliable. To turn the word wrap | ||
| 2685 | feature off, set `longlines-auto-wrap' to nil. | ||
| 2686 | 2774 | ||

| 2688 | ** The old Octave mode bindings C-c f and C-c i have been changed | 2776 | ** Sound is now supported on MS Windows. |

| 2690 | bindings on control characters--thus, C-c C-i C-b is the same as | 2778 | as AU, AIFF and MP3 may be supported in the more recent versions of |
| 2691 | C-c C-i b, and so on. | 2779 | Windows, or when other software provides hooks into the system level |
| 2692 | 2780 | sound support for those formats. | |
| 2693 | ** The printing package is now part of the Emacs distribution. | ||
| 2694 | |||
| 2695 | If you enable the printing package by including (require 'printing) in | ||
| 2696 | the .emacs file, the normal Print item on the File menu is replaced | ||
| 2697 | with a Print sub-menu which allows you to preview output through | ||
| 2698 | ghostview, use ghostscript to print (if you don't have a PostScript | ||
| 2699 | printer) or send directly to printer a PostScript code generated by | ||
| 2700 | `ps-print' package. Use M-x pr-help for more information. | ||

| 2733 | table editing available in modern word processors. The package also | ||
| 2734 | can generate a table source in typesetting and markup languages such | ||

| 2742 | ** Tramp is now part of the distribution. | ||
| 2743 | |||
| 2744 | This package is similar to Ange-FTP: it allows you to edit remote | ||
| 2745 | files. But whereas Ange-FTP uses FTP to access the remote host, | ||
| 2746 | Tramp uses a shell connection. The shell connection is always used | ||
| 2747 | for filename completion and directory listings and suchlike, but for | ||
| 2748 | the actual file transfer, you can choose between the so-called | ||
| 2749 | `inline' methods (which transfer the files through the shell | ||
| 2750 | connection using base64 or uu encoding) and the `out-of-band' methods | ||
| 2751 | (which invoke an external copying program such as `rcp' or `scp' or | ||
| 2752 | `rsync' to do the copying). | ||
| 2753 | |||
| 2754 | Shell connections can be acquired via `rsh', `ssh', `telnet' and also | ||
| 2755 | `su' and `sudo'. Ange-FTP is still supported via the `ftp' method. | ||
| 2756 | |||
| 2757 | If you want to disable Tramp you should set | ||

| 2798 | some of them to initialize some of the default faces. | ||
