Mouse hover over definition display and Emacs keymap.

I have two usage related questions:

  1. Does wing support the mouse hover over definition display of symbols/functions etc.?
  2. I switched to Emacs key map via Edit --> Keyboard personality --> Emacs, but I don't see the complete same short key binding conventions used by my Emacs, say, ctrl + shift + <backspace> in Emacs has the following description:
C-S-<backspace> runs the command kill-whole-line (found in global-map),

which is an interactive byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘simple.el’. 

It is bound to C-S-<backspace>.

But I cannot see the same behavior in wing.

Any tips will be helpful.

Regards, Zhao

Yes, Wing should show the value of symbols you hover over in the editor, if that code is on the stack. You can also do Shift-Space while debugging to show all values, although depending on the code that can be a bit of a mess.

I don't see C-S- in our emacs key bindings. I've never used that and don't think it's ever been requested before. I was able to add that binding with the User Interface > Keyboard > Custom Key Bindings preference by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Backspace in the Key field and using the command delete-line. You can probably add the other missing bindings that you use that way, or send us a list and we can look into adding them.
