- These are new features included in NotGNU, not listed in the manual.
-
- ==============================================
- Updates in version 1.4+ of Nov 17, 1993 (14p3)
- ==============================================
-
- o New functions: 'tabify' and 'untabify'. Convert spaces to tabs,
- and tabs to spaces, respectively, within the defined region.
-
- o DNOT now has special code to translate Ctrl-Space to Ctrl-@
- (set-mark-command), even on machines where this is not supported
- via BIOS.
-
- o DNOT left button mouse behavior more similar to that of WNOT
- (I.e. SHIFT-drag select will cut the buffer).
- Note: A special case will arise if a buffer is first drag-selected,
- then cut with C-w. The selected region will be duplicated in the
- kill buffer, and a C-y will yank the text twice. C-w will, when
- invoked immediately after another cut or copy, APPEND the selected
- region to the kill buffer. Since DNOT uses the same kill buffer for
- keys operations (C-k, C-w etc.) as for mouse operations, this strange
- result will appear.
-
-
- =============================================
- Updates in version 1.4+ of Nov 8, 1993 (14p2)
- =============================================
-
- o Minibuffer editing
- The minibuffer now accepts the following commands:
-
- C-b, C-f, Left Arrow, Right Arrow,
- C-a, C-e, Home, End,
- C-k, C-d, Delete,
- C-u, C-w, Backspace (Like before)
-
- o fill-paragraph now leaves cursor at the end of the modified
- paragraph, like GNU.
-
-
- ============================================
- Updates in version 1.4+ of Oct 28, 1993 (14)
- ============================================
-
- o NotBoot now accepts the following command line switches:
-
- /p filename Print file, then exit.
- /v filename View file, ie. do not allow any editing.
-
-
- o NotGNU now accepts the following command line switches:
-
- -x function Execute function on startup, after loading first buffer.
- -f function Execute function on startup, before loading any file
- -p filename Prints file, then exits.
-
- The following options are also allowed in the X11 version:
- -bg window_color
- -display displayname
- -fg text_color
- -fg2 touched_text_color
- -fg3 highlight_color
- -font fontname
- -help
-
- o In 'dired', 'd' can be used to delete a file.
-
- o Any number greater than 1 should now work for set-tab-stop
-
- o Mouse doubleclick on modeline == delete-other-windows
-
- o Drag & drop to iconified NotGNU works much better
- (Drag a file from the file manager to the NotGNU icon, and wnot
- will open a new buffer for the file).
- NOTE: Does not work with Norton Desktop.
-
- o New item in FILE menu: kill-current-buffer
-
- o enhanced drag-select-scrolling, still not as fast as I (Julie)
- would like, with improved behavior when crossing out of a window
- (pane)
-
- o DOS version now has limited support of mouse operations. Set
- cursor, and/or select region to copy with the left mouse button;
- paste with the right button.
-
- o Added function: 'fill-region'. This does not work exactly like
- GNU emacs', in that only complete regions will be filled.
-
- o The following packets are now available from NotGNU-request:
-
- DNOT - DOS executable w/documentation.
- WNOT - Windows 3.x executable w/documentation.
- NTNOT - Windows NT/Intel executable w/documentation.
- NTAXP - Windows NT/DEC Alpha executable w/documentation.
- X11NOT - Sources for building under X11/OSF and unix curses.
- DOC-PLAIN - GNU-zipped documentation, plain text.
- DOC-DVI - GNU-zipped documentation, TeX .dvi format.
- DOC-PS - GNU-zipped documentation, Postscript.
- INFO - Information on the current status of NotGNU.
-
- To have any of these packets sent to you, send an email containing
- the words "SEND packet" in the message body, where "packet" is one
- of the ones listed above, to notgnu-request@netcom.com.
-
- As usual, a "HELP" command will give a more complete help.
-
-
- =====================
- Undocumented features
- =====================
-
- These had (have!) not yet made their way into the docs:
-
- o The following modes are available via set-default-mode:
- fill, indent, C, overwrite
-
- o The "MEMAKE" environment variable, if present, should contain the
- command line to use for compiling. Default: "nmake "
-
-
- o On page 15 in the plain text version, I wrote:
- Backspace | backward-delete-char
- The correct name should be 'delete-backward-char'
-
- o Also on page 15, I wrote:
- C-h c, C-h d | describe-key-briefly, <JULIE: What is C-h d??>
- She answered: list-key-names
-
-
- ====
- Bugs
- ====
-
- o Drag & Drop to an iconized window, as well as printing with the /p
- flag, does not work properly with Norton Desktop. Instead, these
- operations will insert an internal message into the first line in
- the current buffer.
