24.5; nxml-mode should support shift selection |
Date: |
Mon, 10 Oct 2016 22:41:37 +0600 |
Many movement commands, such as forward-word, forward-sexp,
forward-sentence, next-line, and their backward counterparts, support
shift selection. That is, holding down Shift along with their bindings
causes region to be activated and/or extended.
$ emacs -Q
C-x C-f /tmp/test.xml
<html>|<head></head><body></body></html>
C-M-S-<right> ;; C-M-<right> (translated) runs forward-sexp
<html>[<head>]</head><body></body></html>
C-M-S-<right> ;; C-M-<right> (translated) runs forward-sexp
<html>[<head></head>]<body></body></html>
However, nxml-mode’s commands do not behave this way.
<html>|<head></head><body></body></html>
C-M-S-n ;; C-M-n (translated) runs nxml-forward-element
Expected:
<html>[<head></head>]<body></body></html>
Observed:
<html><head></head>|<body></body></html>
The attached patch fixes this for me. It is based on current master (fd45b3f).
