* [9fans] acme & sam text selection and delete deletes extra character @ 2022-05-11 15:50 Ben Huntsman 2022-05-11 15:57 ` Mark van Atten 0 siblings, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: Ben Huntsman @ 2022-05-11 15:50 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 9fans [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1102 bytes --] Hi there- Please pardon the dumb question if this has been covered before. I did some brief searches of the archive and couldn't find it... I'm running plan9port on macOS. I noticed that in acme, (and also sam) if I select part of a string and press delete, the selection gets deleted and also one additional character in front of the selection. For example, if I type "/path/to/file" and double-click file, file gets highlighted, and if I press delete, "/file" gets deleted leaving me with "path/to". This seems counter-intuitive as I expected only what I had highlighted to be deleted. There is a GitHub issue (#424) https://github.com/9fans/plan9port/issues/424 filed for this as well. Just curious, is this by design, or is this a bug? I'm inclined to think it's by design as it occurs within sam as well. As always, thanks!! -Ben ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T06d3bdd208f5a90b-M97206433039ca2198ba50801 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 3542 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
