New EditKit Reformat Menu

Commands to reformat text such as filling, centering, and repunctuating sentences are provided here. Press ? or C-h to get help for a specific command.

Updated EditKit Settings Menu

Configuration of common editing-related settings are provided here. Most all settings are set via the customize-variable interface with the following exceptions for:

• “Auto-fill Mode (auto-fill-mode)”
• “Indent Tabs Mode (indent-tabs-mode)”
• “Fill Column (set-fill-column)”

Those commands will instead apply to the current buffer. The variables listed above can be more permanently set via M-x customize-variable.

UI Change: Sensible % key behavior in Calc Main Menu

In prior releases of Casual ≤ v2.2.3, the Calc main menu (casual-calc-tmenu) bound the key ‘%’ to the command calc-percent. This however breaks with the more common calculator convention of mapping the ‘%’ behavior to actually calculating a percentage given two numbers, the value and the percent rate. Also it is my opinion that the behavior of calc-percent is not compelling enough to merit placement on the Calc main menu. This update changes this behavior so that pressing the ‘%’ key will now calculate a percentage. For example, if 85 is stored in (2:) and 40 in (1:), pressing ‘%’ will leave the result 34 in (1:).

The Financial main menu (casual-calc-financial-tmenu) has also been modified accordingly. Access to the command calc-percent has been moved to this menu with the binding ‘P’.

Note that only in both casual-calc-tmenu and casual-calc-financial-tmenu, the ‘%’ key is reserved for percentage calculation. In all other Casual Calc menus and Calc itself, the ‘%’ key is reserved to be the modulo operator.
