Ping!
Here is an updated version of the patch. I need help for the
prefs2prefs_lfun.py script, along the lines presented above. Can someone
do it or at least give directions?
Note that the patch as it stands changes the behavior of LyX: I did not
add 'confirm' to the commands in lib/bind/, since I expect that to be
done by pref2pref.
Just as a reminder, the goal is to have char-delete-backwards without
argument actually delete previous element, without consideration of
confirmation that are only relevant to interactive use.
Once sorted out, this would be candidate for 2.4.0.
