changeset 46941:1241ed1e9eee

[original idea from Luc Teirlinck <teirllm@mail.auburn.edu>] (comint-inhibit-carriage-motion): New variable. (comint-carriage-motion): Argument STRING removed. New arguments START and END; interpret characters between START and END rather than using special comint state. (comint-output-filter): Call `comint-carriage-motion'. (comint-output-filter-functions): Don't add `comint-carriage-motion'.
