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.
