Meta-c does NOT do the right thing, to be compatible with emacs. I
seriously oopsed on this one. There are two problems. 1) Meta-c
should be bound to capitalize_word, instead of upcase_word, to be
compatible with emacs. 2) The word detection routines have a fencepost
error in them, so that if you execute capitalize_word or upcase_word at
the beginning of a word, the word that gets affected is the PREVIOUS
one. The first problem can be fixed by putting the following line in
your .tcshrc file:
set_keymap meta c capitalize_word
Also, to be compatible with emacs, the following binding should be
added:
set_keymap meta l downcase_word
Is it too late to change the prototype files?
