Document #'events-to-keys some more, use it less. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2013-07-10 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * minibuf.el (get-user-response): * cmdloop.el (y-or-n-p-minibuf): No need to call #'events-to-keys in these two functions, #'lookup-key accepts events directly. * keymap.el: * keymap.el (events-to-keys): Document this function some more. Stop passing strings through unexamined, treat them as vectors of characters. Event keys are never integers, remove some code that only ran if (integerp (event-key ce)). Event keys are never numbers, don't check for that. Don't create (menu-selection call-interactively function-name) keystrokes for menu choices, #'character-to-event doesn't understand that syntax, so nothing uses it. Don't ever accept mouse events, #'character-to-event doesn't accept our synthesising of them. src/ChangeLog addition: 2013-07-10 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * keymap.c: * keymap.c (key_desc_list_to_event): Drop the allow_menu_events argument. Don't accept lists starting with Qmenu_selection as describing keys, nothing generates them in a way this function understands. The intention is reasonable but the implementation was never documented and never finished. * keymap.c (syms_of_keymap): Drop Qmenu_selection. * events.c (Fcharacter_to_event): * keymap.h: Drop the allow_menu_events argument to key_desc_list_to_event.
