Benno Schulenberg c6dbcf91c3 new feature: functions to jump to previous or following block of text
And hard-bind the keys Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down to these functions.

Unlike the paragraph-jumping code, these new functions disregard
any indentation, treating only blank lines as separators.  They
also do an automatic smart home when that option is set.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48291.
2016-07-24 12:00:00 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg 6f12992cea new feature: add the option --wordchars, to set extra word characters
This allows the user to specify which other characters, besides the
default alphanumeric ones, should be considered as part of a word, so
that word operations like Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right will pass them by.

Using this option overrides the option --wordbounds.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47283.
