Is there a facility to write a filter for a list of commands? I am writing a database display function where fields will be delimited by [ ... ]. I am controlling screen format by making sure that the cursor stays inside the braces (unless the program moves it to another set of braces). Therefore, I'd like a map so that functions will test whether they violate this rule. (functions like forward-word and forward-kill-word are examples. Is there any feature like this? Has anyone done this type of mapping before? or this type of database-display function? (I am displaying a particular type of database, so that aspect may be unique.) I will eventually be interested in opinions as to what people think are intuitive bindings for things like forward-field, forward-record, beginning-of-record, beginning-of-field, and beginning-of-database. (tentatively tab, C-n, M-C-a, C-a, M-<) Thanks Seth sr16@andrew.cmu.edu
