Be better about searching for chars typed via XIM and x-compose.el, isearch lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2011-03-12 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * isearch-mode.el (isearch-mode-map): Document why we bind the ASCII characters to isearch-printing-char in more detail. * isearch-mode.el (isearch-maybe-frob-keyboard-macros): If `this-command' is nil and the keys typed would normally be bound to `self-insert-command' in the global map, force `isearch-printing-char' to be called with an appropriate value for last-command-event. Addresses an issue where searching for characters generated from x-compose.el and XIM threw errors for me in dired. src/ChangeLog addition: 2011-03-12 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * event-stream.c (Fdispatch_event): As documented, allow pre-command-hook to usefully modify this-command even when this-command is nil (that is, we would normally throw an undefined-keystroke-sequence error). Don't throw that error if this-command was modified, instead try to execute the new value. Allow pre-command-hook to modify last-command-event in this specific context. Don't document this, for the moment.
