Well, it should be "the" in our context.
Funny enough, I have inspected LYMessages.h for the definite article in
messages and found the following:
#define EDIT_CURRENT_SHORTCUT gettext("Edit the current shortcut: ")
#define EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT gettext("Edit the previous shortcut: ")
#define EDIT_A_PREV_SHORTCUT gettext("Edit a previous shortcut: ")
which leads to two chunks in LYJump.c:
if ((cp = (char *) HTList_objectAt(jtp->history,
ShortcutNum)) != NULL) {
LYstrncpy(buf, cp, sizeof(buf) - 1);
if (jump_buffer && jtp->shortcut &&
!strcmp(buf, jtp->shortcut)) {
_statusline(EDIT_CURRENT_SHORTCUT);
} else if ((jump_buffer && ShortcutTotal == 2) ||
(!jump_buffer && ShortcutTotal == 1)) {
_statusline(EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT);
} else {
_statusline(EDIT_A_PREV_SHORTCUT);
}
and
if ((cp = (char *) HTList_objectAt(jtp->history,
ShortcutNum)) != NULL) {
LYstrncpy(buf, cp, sizeof(buf) - 1);
if (jump_buffer && jtp->shortcut &&
!strcmp(buf, jtp->shortcut)) {
_statusline(EDIT_CURRENT_SHORTCUT);
} else if ((jump_buffer && ShortcutTotal == 2) ||
(!jump_buffer && ShortcutTotal == 1)) {
_statusline(EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT);
} else {
_statusline(EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT);
}
(please find a difference!)
