Description

set an easier binding (easier than C-c C-l) for sending a line to cocoa-5.
Macaulay-2 mode sets f11, but that's unconvenient on Macintoshes.
I prefer C-return

2014-04 conclusion: many possibilities implemented C-RET, M-RET (also C-c RET)

These are the two bindings:
C-return (works in graphical emacs) [note: one movement]
C-c return (works both in text and graphical emacs)

Emanuela De Negri tested it (first one) and much prefers it to the "old" C-c C-l.

I cannot have C-RET showing in the menu: C-c RET is automatically chosen ... don't understand why.
And I don't understand why it does not work in the "crude" emacs. I wonder whether defining C-RET is a bit "naughty", but I admit it is very nice!!

Needs to be tested on linux and windows (I have some guinea-pigs in mind ;-)

There was a problem with Emacs 23:
cua-mode had the binding C-RET for "cua-rectangle-mark-key", so I had to overwrite it.
(not trivial to understand how...)

I collected enough feedback on all systems.
JAA is the only one missing ;-)

negative feedback, unfortunately:
The problem arises if cua-mode (i.e. C-c C-v mode) is loaded after cocoa-mode.
(typical on linux which does not load cua-mode by default)
thinking....

I think it works fine (but then I probably don't use cua-mode).

It works also with emacs-24.3.

Any chance of closing this issue soon?

#6 Updated by John Abbott about 10 years ago

Could you also define some other key sequences? For instance,
C-c RET
C-c C-RET

The advantage of defining both is that if you don't press the CTRL key correctly it still does what you want!

Can we close this soon?

Final testing (thanks Oscar Fernández Ramos!)

There are problems when loading CUA-mode (for copying and pasting with C-c, C-v) after loading cocoa5-mode because C-RET is overwritten by CUA.
But now we have both C-RET and M-RET (M stands for Meta/Alt) so there is a choice!

Oscar reports that it works for him.
Closing.
