(set-mark-command): Explicitly do so here.
When popping, don't mind if mark is inactive.
(pop-mark): Deactivate mark. Don't mind if it's inactive.
(yank-pop): Don't mind if mark is inactive.
(keyboard-quit): Deactivate the mark.
(kill-ring-save): When bouncing cursor,
bounce the mark too, so highlighted area does not change.
addition of new lines at end of buffer.
(up-arrow): Alias of previous-line, added for consistency.
These changes complete terminal-type-independent support for arrow keys.
(kill-forward-chars, kill-backward-chars): Deleted. These were
internal subroutines used by delete-char and delete-backward-char
before those functions were moved into the C kernel. Now nothing uses
them.
(kill-line): Added kill-whole-line variable. Defaults to nil; a
non-nil value causes a kill-line at the beginning of a line to kill
the newline as well as the line. I find it very convenient. Emulates
Unipress' &kill-lines-magic variable.
(next-line): Added next-line-add-newlines variable. If nil, next-line will not
insert newlines when invoked at the end of a buffer. This obviates three LCD
packages.
(left-arrow, right-arrow): New functions. These do backward-char and
forward-char first. If line truncation is on, they then scroll left or
right as necessary to make sure point is visible.
replace comment-indent-hook.
(comment-indent-hook): Make this default to nil now.
(indent-for-comment): If comment-indent-hook is non-nil, call it
for backward compatibility; otherwise, call
comment-indent-function.
* bytecomp.el: Declare comment-indent-hook an obsolete variable.
as an octal character code. In binary overwrite mode, overwrite
the characters instead of inserting them.
(overwrite-mode-textual, overwrite-mode-binary): New symbols, for
use in the mode line.
(overwrite-mode): Doc fix. Use force-mode-line-update.
(binary-overwrite-mode): New function.
* loaddefs.el (minor-mode-alist): Make the mode line element for
overwrite-mode be the symbol `overwrite-mode'.
`barf-if-buffer-read-only' instead of just `ding', to get the
appropriate error condition and message.
* simple.el (insert-buffer): Make sure this returns nil.
* simple.el (quoted-insert): Use insert-char, instead of writing
out the loop.
error if the buffer is read-only, and remove the code to do a
copy-region-as-kill if the buffer is read-only.
* simple.el (set-mark-command): Clarify doc string.
* simple.el (prefix-arg-internal): Don't apply string-to-char to
get the first element of the key sequence - it might be a vector.
