10. Hints For Emacs 19 Users

This package is tested with the GNU Emacs 19.34. The Emacs 19.34 has had not all features of the XEmacs. Therefore also some of the features of this package could not be implemeted in the Emacs 19.

Please read also the Emacs 19 related file ‘README-EMACS-19’!

The following is a list of missing features:

• The capability to start an action from the help buffer. This is only possible in the XEmacs, because in the Emacs 19.34 one can’t assign keymaps to a text region (overlay).
• The keybindings of the drag and drop commands are not displayed in the menus, because the Emacs 19 isn’t able to handle the following menu specification: :keys "\\[idd-help-mouse-drag-and-drop]".
• The function file-remote-p couldn’t be implemeted, because of the lack of the function ange-ftp-ftp-p in the ange-ftp package of the Emacs 19.34.
• The history variable determined by tmpl-history-variable-name isn’t used, because the function read-file-name doesn’t support it in the Emacs 19.
• The mouse pointer shape (glyph) wont be changed in the Emacs 19 during a drag and drop command. For that a way is needed to set the mouse pointer shape to an image.
