25;;; Commentary:
26
bab0c3c1 27;; This package provides the `view' minor mode documented in the Emacs
c91c4e6d 28;; user's manual.
ab7782fc 29;; View mode entry and exit is done through the functions view-mode-enter
66d3a2b5 30;; and view-mode-exit. Use these functions to enter or exit view-mode from
ab7782fc 31;; emacs lisp programs.
66d3a2b5 32;; We use both view- and View- as prefix for symbols. View- is used as
cae55197 33;; prefix for commands that have a key binding. view- is used for commands
66d3a2b5 34;; without key binding. The purpose of this is to make it easier for a
ab7782fc
RS
35;; user to use command name completion.
36
37;;; Suggested key bindings:
38;;
39;; (define-key ctl-x-4-map "v" 'view-file-other-window) ; ^x4v
40;; (define-key ctl-x-5-map "v" 'view-file-other-frame) ; ^x5v
41;;
42;; You could also bind view-file, view-buffer, view-buffer-other-window and
43;; view-buffer-other-frame to keys.
