Well, it should be "the" in our context.

Funny enough, I have inspected LYMessages.h for the definite article in
messages and found the following:

#define EDIT_CURRENT_SHORTCUT gettext("Edit the current shortcut: ")
#define EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT gettext("Edit the previous shortcut: ")
#define EDIT_A_PREV_SHORTCUT gettext("Edit a previous shortcut: ")

which leads to two chunks in LYJump.c:

        if ((cp = (char *) HTList_objectAt(jtp->history,
                                           ShortcutNum)) != NULL) {
            LYstrncpy(buf, cp, sizeof(buf) - 1);
            if (jump_buffer && jtp->shortcut &&
                !strcmp(buf, jtp->shortcut)) {
                _statusline(EDIT_CURRENT_SHORTCUT);
            } else if ((jump_buffer && ShortcutTotal == 2) ||
                       (!jump_buffer && ShortcutTotal == 1)) {
                _statusline(EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT);
            } else {
                _statusline(EDIT_A_PREV_SHORTCUT);
            }

and

        if ((cp = (char *) HTList_objectAt(jtp->history,
                                           ShortcutNum)) != NULL) {
            LYstrncpy(buf, cp, sizeof(buf) - 1);
            if (jump_buffer && jtp->shortcut &&
                !strcmp(buf, jtp->shortcut)) {
                _statusline(EDIT_CURRENT_SHORTCUT);
            } else if ((jump_buffer && ShortcutTotal == 2) ||
                       (!jump_buffer && ShortcutTotal == 1)) {
                _statusline(EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT);
            } else {
                _statusline(EDIT_THE_PREV_SHORTCUT);
            }


(please find a difference!)
