26 | ;; This provides `autoarg-mode', a global minor mode meant to emulate | |
27 | ;; a facility reported from Twenex Emacs whereby digit keys supplied | |
28 | ;; prefix args rather than self inserting, with a digit sequence | |
29 | ;; terminated by space acting to insert the digits. | |
30 | ||
31 | ;; The bindings of DIGIT and C-DIGIT are swapped and a command bound | |
32 | ;; to SPC deals with a numeric prefix arg or acts normally without | |
33 | ;; such an arg. (In the absence of a suitable terminal, you'd | |
34 | ;; probably want to swap DIGIT and M-DIGIT.) See the mode doc. | |
35 | ||
36 | ;; You probably don't really want to use this. | |

74 | In Autoarg mode digits are bound to `digit-argument' -- i.e. they | |
75 | supply prefix arguments as C-DIGIT and M-DIGIT normally do -- and | |
76 | C-DIGIT inserts DIGIT. \\[autoarg-terminate] terminates the prefix sequence | |
77 | and inserts the digits of the autoarg sequence into the buffer. | |
78 | Without a numeric prefix arg the normal binding of \\[autoarg-terminate] is | |
79 | invoked, i.e. what it would be with Autoarg mode off. | |
80 | ||
81 | For example: | |
82 | `6 9 \\[autoarg-terminate]' inserts `69' into the buffer, as does `C-6 C-9'. | |
83 | `6 9 a' inserts 69 `a's into the buffer. | |
84 | `6 9 \\[autoarg-terminate] \\[autoarg-terminate]' inserts `69' into the buffer and | |
85 | then invokes the normal binding of \\[autoarg-terminate]. | |
86 | `C-u \\[autoarg-terminate]' invokes the normal binding of \\[autoarg-terminate] four times. | |
