Subject: Patch: control-a -vs- horizontal scrollbar
Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2000 14:21:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878zyojndy.fsf@cygnus.com> (raw)
Type a long line into the console window -- long enough to cause
horizontal scrolling. Now use C-a or C-u to go to the start of the
line. Notice that the cursor is not visible.
The appended patch fixes this.
For C-a and C-u we make the linestart visible, since this is the most
natural behavior. For C-w we just make the insertion cursor visible
-- not the very best thing, but ok.

* console.itb (Console::_build_win): Make Control-a, Control-u,
and Control-w bindings show the insertion point.
