Re: [Nano-devel] Comment/Uncomment feature patch

[Benno Schulenberg]

Thanks.  It's looking pretty good now.  I changed some comments,
rearranged some stuff, and added the texinfo documentation.  See
attached patch.  I've also removed some superfluous asserts --
there are just one or two calls of these functions, if we can't get
/those/ right...  :)

Oh, the comment sequence for a man page contained a question
mark.  But... the sequence isn't a regex, so I have removed it.

Okay.

There is a nano-regress script in git that does something similar.

Slightly better, because then I don't have to remember to use -p0
to apply your patch, instead of the normal -p1 with git patches.  :)


Now... testing the patch...

Run 'src/nano +6 README', then type:
M-3 M-U M-3 M-U M-3 M-U M-3 M-U ...

See how the cursor slowly creeps forward.
The opposite happens when after an M-3 you type
M-4 M-U M-4 M-U M-4 M-U M-4 M-U ...

This shouldn't happen.  After an undo, the cursor should be
back where it was before the do.

Benno
