FIXME
|
||||
Support for displaying and editing ``bidirectional'' text has been
|
||||
removed. Text is now always displayed on the screen in a single
|
||||
consistent direction---left to right---regardless of the underlying
|
||||
script. Similarly, @kbd{C-f} and @kbd{C-b} always move the text
|
||||
cursor to the right and left respectively. Also, @key{right} and
|
||||
@key{left} are now equivalent to @kbd{C-f} and @kbd{C-b}, as you might
|
||||
expect, rather than moving forward or backward based on the underlying
|
||||
``paragraph direction''.
|
||||
|
||||
Users of ``right-to-left'' languages, like Arabic and Hebrew, may
|
||||
adapt by reading and/or editing text in left-to-right order.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
The Emacs Lisp package manager has been removed. Instead of using a
|
||||
``user interface'' (@kbd{M-x list-packages}), additional Lisp packages
|
||||
must now be installed by hand, which is the most flexible and
|
||||
``Lispy'' method anyway. Typically, this just involves editing your
|
||||
init file to add the package installation directory to the load path
|
||||
and defining some autoloads; see each package's commentary section
|
||||
and/or README file for details.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
The option @code{delete-active-region} has been deleted. When the
|
||||
region is active, typing @key{DEL} or @key{delete} no longer deletes
|
||||
the text in the region; it deletes a single character instead.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
We have reworked how Emacs handles the clipboard and the X primary
|
||||
selection. Commands for killing and yanking, like @kbd{C-w} and
|
||||
@kbd{C-y}, use the primary selection and not the clipboard, so you can
|
||||
use these commands without interfering with ``cutting'' or ``pasting''
|
||||
in other programs. The @samp{Cut}/@samp{Copy}/@samp{Paste} menu items
|
||||
are bound to separate clipboard commands, not to the same commands as
|
||||
@kbd{C-w}/@kbd{M-w}/@kbd{C-y}.
|
||||
|
||||
Selecting text by dragging with the mouse now puts the text in the
|
||||
kill ring, in addition to the primary selection. But note that
|
||||
selecting an active region with @kbd{C-@key{SPC}} does @emph{not}
|
||||
alter the kill ring nor the primary selection, even though the text
|
||||
highlighting is visually identical.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
In Isearch, @kbd{C-y} and @kbd{M-y} are no longer bound to
|
||||
@code{isearch-yank-kill} and @code{isearch-yank-pop} respectively.
|
||||
Instead, @kbd{C-y} yanks the rest of the current line into the search
|
||||
string (@code{isearch-yank-line}), whereas @kbd{M-y} does
|
||||
@code{isearch-yank-kill}. The mismatch with the usual meanings of
|
||||
@kbd{C-y} and @kbd{M-y} is unintended.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Various completion features have been simplified. The options
|
||||
@code{completion-cycle-threshold} and
|
||||
@code{completion-category-overrides} have been removed. Due to the
|
||||
latter removal, Emacs uses a single consistent scheme to generate
|
||||
completions, instead of using a separate scheme for (say) buffer name
|
||||
completion. Several major modes, such as Shell mode, now implement
|
||||
their own inline completion commands instead of using
|
||||
@code{completion-at-point}.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
We have removed various options for controlling how windows are used,
|
||||
e.g.@: @code{display-buffer-base-action}, @code{display-buffer-alist},
|
||||
@code{window-combination-limit}, and @code{window-combination-resize}.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
The command @kbd{M-x customize-themes} has been removed. Emacs no
|
||||
longer comes with pre-defined themes (you can write your own).
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Emacs no longer adapts various aspects of its display to GTK+
|
||||
settings, opting instead for a uniform toolkit-independent look. GTK+
|
||||
scroll bars are placed on the left, the same position as non-GTK+ X
|
||||
scroll bars. Emacs no longer refers to GTK+ to set the default
|
||||
@code{region} face, nor for drawing tooltips.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Setting the option @code{delete-by-moving-to-trash} to a
|
||||
non-@code{nil} now causes all file deletions to use the system trash,
|
||||
even temporary files created by Lisp programs; furthermore, the
|
||||
@kbd{M-x delete-file} and @kbd{M-x delete-directory} commands no
|
||||
longer accept prefix arguments to force true deletion.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
On GNU/Linux and Unix, the default method for sending mail (as
|
||||
specified by @code{send-mail-function}) is to use the
|
||||
@command{sendmail} program. Emacs no longer asks for a delivery
|
||||
method the first time you try to send mail, trusting instead that the
|
||||
system is configured for mail delivery, as it ought to be.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Several VC features have been removed, including the @kbd{C-x v +} and
|
||||
@kbd{C-x v m} commands for pulling and merging on distributed version
|
||||
control systems, and the ability to view inline log entries in the log
|
||||
buffers made by @kbd{C-x v L}.
