[Emacs-diffs] master 1ad3387: Add new commands to widen/narrow tabulated list columns

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

branch: master
commit 1ad3387600442af3030b97f219bc60ccafb356eb
Author: Lars Ingebrigtsen <address@hidden>
Commit: Lars Ingebrigtsen <address@hidden>

    Add new commands to widen/narrow tabulated list columns
    
    * doc/emacs/buffers.texi: Document widen/contracting commands in
    tabulated list mode.
    * lisp/emacs-lisp/tabulated-list.el (tabulated-list-mode-map): Add
    keystrokes.
    (tabulated-list-widen-current-column): New command.
    (tabulated-list-narrow-current-column): Ditto.  The code was
    written by Boruch Baum and then tweaked by Drew Adams (bug#32106)
    before some white-space changes before the commit.
