[comp.windows.x] justify paragraph

kolling@erda.dec.COM (Karen Kolling) (10/05/90)

I'd dearly like to bind a key to a justify paragraph function,
so I could use it within xmh.  I haven't found a function that
does anything like justification, however.  Is there such a
beast?  Thanks.

See the "Text Editing Commands" section of the xmh manual page.
These bindings are taken from the default translation bindings for the 
Athena Text widget, given in section 5.3 of the Athena widget manual.
Specifically, see the form-paragraph action of the text widget,
described under section 5.2.6 of the Athena widget manual.  The
default binding is Meta-Q.  It doesn't insert extra spaces between
words to make the right margin even, so it is not really justification.
