29.3.50; key-translate does not support all keyboard-translate usages |
|

When `key-translate' was added, it didnʼt cover all the cases that
`keyboard-translate' does.
Add a translation:
(keyboard-translate ?\C-a ?\C-z)
Two ways to remove, of which I submit the first is 'obvious':
(keyboard-translate ?\C-a nil)
(keyboard-translate ?\C-a ?\C-a)
Add:
(key-translate "C-a" "C-z")
This works for removing a translation but is non-obvious:
(key-translate "C-a" "C-a")
But this doesnʼt:
(key-translate "C-a" nil)
=>
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "nil is not a valid key definition; see
‘key-valid-...")
signal(error ("nil is not a valid key definition; see ‘key-valid-..."))
error("%S is not a valid key definition; see `key-valid-p..." nil)
Iʼm not sure this is worth fixing, but perhaps documenting that
re-adding the same translation is (almost) the same as removing it?
Thanks
Robert

Thanks, I therefore installed the changes on the master branch, and
I'm closing this bug.
