;;; Notes:

;; Things we cannot emulate in Lisp:
;; It is not possible to emulate current-mouse-event as a variable,
;; though it is not hard to obtain the data from (this-command-keys).

;; We don't have variables last-command-event and last-input-event;
;; instead, we made last-...-char have these values.

;; We do not have a variable unread-command-event;
;; instead, we have the more general unread-command-events.

;; We could support those variables with C code as part of a merge.

;;current-mouse-event

;;The mouse-button event which invoked this command, or nil.
;;This is what (interactive "e") returns.

;;------------------------------
;;last-command-event

;;Last keyboard or mouse button event that was part of a command.  This
;;variable is off limits: you may not set its value or modify the event that
;;is its value, as it is destructively modified by read-key-sequence.  If
;;you want to keep a pointer to this value, you must use copy-event.

;;------------------------------
;;last-input-event

;;Last keyboard or mouse button event recieved.  This variable is off
;;limits: you may not set its value or modify the event that is its value, as
;;it is destructively modified by next-event.  If you want to keep a pointer
;;to this value, you must use copy-event.

;;------------------------------
;;unread-command-event

;;Set this to an event object to simulate the reciept of an event from
;;the user.  Normally this is nil.

;;[The variable unread-command-char no longer exists, because with the new event
;; model, it is incorrect for code to do (setq unread-command-char (read-char)),
;; because all user-input can't be represented as ASCII characters.  

;; A compatibility hack could be added to check unread-command-char as well as 
;; unread-command-event; or to only use unread-command-char and allow it to be
;; an ASCII code or an event, but I think that's a bad idea because it would 
;; allow incorrect code to work so long as someone didn't type a character 
;; without an ASCII equivalent, making it likely that such code would not get
;; fixed.]


;;Other related functions:
;;==============================

;;read-char ()

;;Read a character from the command input (keyboard or macro).
;;If a mouse click is detected, an error is signalled.  The character typed
;;is returned as an ASCII value.  This is most likely the wrong thing for you
;;to be using: consider using the `next-command-event' function instead.

;;------------------------------
;;read-key-sequence (prompt)

;;Read a sequence of keystrokes or mouse clicks and return a vector of the
;;event objects read.  The vector is newly created, but the event objects are
;;reused: if you want to hold a pointer to them beyond the next call to this
;;function, you must copy them first.

;;The sequence read is sufficient to specify a non-prefix command starting
;;from the current local and global keymaps.  A C-g typed while in this
;;function is treated like any other character, and quit-flag is not set.
;;One arg, PROMPT, is a prompt string, or nil meaning do not prompt specially.

;;If the user selects a menu item while we are prompting for a key-sequence,
;;the returned value will be a vector of a single menu-selection event.
;;An error will be signalled if you pass this value to lookup-key or a
;;related function.

;;------------------------------
;;recent-keys ()

;;Return vector of last 100 keyboard or mouse button events read.
;;This copies 100 event objects and a vector; it is safe to keep and modify
;;them.
;;------------------------------


;;Other related variables:
;;==============================

;;executing-kbd-macro

;;Currently executing keyboard macro (a vector of events);
;;nil if none executing.

;;------------------------------
;;executing-macro

;;Currently executing keyboard macro (a vector of events);
;;nil if none executing.

;;------------------------------
;;last-command-char

;;If the value of last-command-event is a keyboard event, then
;;this is the nearest ASCII equivalent to it.  This the the value that
;;self-insert-command will put in the buffer.  Remember that there is
;;NOT a 1:1 mapping between keyboard events and ASCII characters: the set
;;of keyboard events is much larger, so writing code that examines this
;;variable to determine what key has been typed is bad practice, unless
;;you are certain that it will be one of a small set of characters.

;;------------------------------
;;last-input-char

;;If the value of last-input-event is a keyboard event, then
;;this is the nearest ASCII equivalent to it.  Remember that there is
;;NOT a 1:1 mapping between keyboard events and ASCII characters: the set
;;of keyboard events is much larger, so writing code that examines this
;;variable to determine what key has been typed is bad practice, unless
;;you are certain that it will be one of a small set of characters.
