CTRL + SPACE doesn't select consistently

Open johnjelinek opened this issue 11 years ago • 4 comments

When I first boot LT, CTRL + SPACE doesn't select text, rather it opens the command pane. At some point during development, it begins to work in place of opening the command pane. However, when I select text and want to kill my selection, ESC doesn't stop the selection. I need to CTRL + Y and CTRL + / to get back to normal navigation. Any advice?

Since 57bdbcb79b01ec5fec407c85899dcc92d97ffa20 you can use C-g to clear the selection.

How do I get this update? I just re-activated 0.0.3 (the version that shows in the plugin manager) and it does not work. Perhaps I need to get LT from github rather than the release binary?

Even with 0.0.4 C-g does not clear the selection. emacs.js is indeed the up-to-date version where C-g is mapped, but it still does nothing.

Though C-g doesn't yet clear the selection, repeating C-space will when the next release goes out (thanks to our upgrade to CM 4.5.0). Adding that functionality to C-g as well also sounds good, though we'll need to make sure it doesn't interfere with closing out of existing things. I also haven't been able to reproduce C-space opening the command pane rather than setting mark. Are you still able to reproduce this?

Cheers, Josh
