(Fminibuffer_complete_and_exit): Supply value for new ESCAPE_FROM_EDGE parameter to Ffield_beginning. (Fminibuffer_complete_word): Use Ffield_beginning to find the prompt end. (Fminibuffer_complete_and_exit): Test for an empty input string by seeing where the field begins, instead of looking at text-properties. (read_minibuf): Don't save minibuffer prompt length on minibuf_save_list. Don't initialize minibuffer prompt length. Wrap prompt text-properties around the entire prompt. Add 'prompt text-property to prompt. Get final value with Ffield_string instead of make_buffer_string. (read_minibuf_unwind): Don't restore minibuffer prompt length from minibuf_save_list. (do_completion): Get minibuffer input with Ffield_string instead of Fbuffer_string. Erase minibuffer input with Ferase_field instead of erase_buffer. (Fminibuffer_complete_and_exit): Likewise. Test whether buffer is empty by looking for the 'prompt text property at the end. Set prompt length by looking for the end of the prompt text property, and save prompt length for later use (since there is no longer a buffer variable to get it from). (Fminibuffer_prompt_width, Fminibuffer_prompt_end): Functions removed. (syms_of_minibuf): Remove initializations of Sminibuffer_prompt_width and Sminibuffer_prompt_end.

;;; Commentary:

;; Commands to optimize spaces to tabs or expand tabs to spaces in a region
;; (`tabify' and `untabify').  The variable tab-width does the obvious.

;;; Code:

;;;###autoload
(defun untabify (start end)
  "Convert all tabs in region to multiple spaces, preserving columns.
Called non-interactively, the region is specified by arguments
START and END, rather than by the position of point and mark.
The variable `tab-width' controls the spacing of tab stops."
  (interactive "r")
  (save-excursion
    (save-restriction
      (narrow-to-region (point-min) end)
      (goto-char start)
      (while (search-forward "\t" nil t)	; faster than re-search
	(forward-char -1)
	(let ((tab-beg (point))
	      (indent-tabs-mode nil)
	      column)
	  (skip-chars-forward "\t")
	  (setq column (current-column))
	  (delete-region tab-beg (point))
	  (indent-to column))))))

(defvar tabify-regexp "[ \t][ \t]+"
  "Regexp matching whitespace that tabify should consider.
Usually this will be \"[ \\t][ \\t]+\" to match two or more spaces or tabs.
\"^[ \\t]+\" is also useful, for tabifying only initial whitespace.")

;;;###autoload
(defun tabify (start end)
  "Convert multiple spaces in region to tabs when possible.
A group of spaces is partially replaced by tabs
when this can be done without changing the column they end at.
Called non-interactively, the region is specified by arguments
START and END, rather than by the position of point and mark.
The variable `tab-width' controls the spacing of tab stops."
  (interactive "r")
  (save-excursion
    (save-restriction
      ;; Include the beginning of the line in the narrowing
      ;; since otherwise it will throw off current-column.
      (goto-char start)
      (beginning-of-line)
      (narrow-to-region (point) end)
      (goto-char start)
      (while (re-search-forward tabify-regexp nil t)
	(let ((column (current-column))
	      (indent-tabs-mode t))
	  (delete-region (match-beginning 0) (point))
	  (indent-to column))))))
