Subject: [patch] add commands for setting keyboard translations interactively
Date: Sun, 04 Aug 2024 13:16:29 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear all,

The attached patch adds commands for adding and removing entries in
`keyboard-translate-table' interactively:
- add an interactive spec to `key-translate'
- add a new command `key-translate-remove', which does the opposite of
  `key-translate'.
- add an option for users to customise how the latter function prompts
  for which from/to pair is removed. The default just lists them with
  `completing-read'.

I find this sort of thing useful for cases where I want to use
something other than space as a word separator (e.g. when typing lots
of function names), or when for a long period I want to use the symbol
which is usually on the shift of a key (i.e. I know I want to type "+"
a lot, but not "=").

The patch doesn't contain a NEWS entry yet -- I wanted to get the
greenlight on the code first.

Best,

Hugo
