Subject: proposal to separate org-special-ctrl-a/e into two variables
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2009 23:38:13 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7bef1f890902220538o101ceb45gaa421c45a988f74f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I have found the behavior of the cursor at the beginning of the line to be
clumsy, and troublesome. I cannot easily set a region, for example.
However, the special setting of ctrl-e is extremely useful.
A single variable controls these two variables, in a unified way. This
variable also has two aliases. The aliases are not recognized by the
functions that are affected by these variables in org.el:
org-beginning-of-line, and org-end-of-line. As far as I can see, there
seems no reason to keep these two aliased variables as references to a
single unified variable, insofar as the underlying code is concerned.
Because, at least for me, the behaviors have sufficiently distinct
behaviors, I propose these should be separated.
I am unable to code lisp to the level of skill necessary to do the work
myself. At some point, I would be willing to work on this as a "first off"
hack. I cannot do so at present due to work obligations.
