Hi
How can I assign keys to Cut, Copy, and Paste in XEmacs. Ideally,
they would not be lots of keystrokes combined.
On a related note, my frien Bill Bumgartner once gave me the
included function for my .emacs file...it causes the paste command to replace
the selection. How can I make it work here?
;; clear-and-paste
;;
;; Replaces current region with yank-buffer and moves point to end of
;; freshly yanked text. If no selection, simply inserts text.
(defun clear-and-paste (p)
"Act like Text object paste. That is-- paste yank buffer,
replacing
current selection (if any) and move point to end"
(interactive "*d")
(let ((newPoint 0))
(save-excursion
(cond ((eval mark-active)
(delete-region p (mark))))
(yank)
(setq newPoint (point)))
(goto-char newPoint)))
;; Replace more like text object
(setq delete-selection-mode t)
- B
