Example Wording Beacon

[jgarte]

Hi, does this example need F3 and F4 in order to work?

https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/blob/master/meow-tutor.el#L534

The wording is a bit confusing because it doesn't mention using F3 and F4 in the 8 steps but I think it is needed:

 1. Move the cursor to the line below marked -->
 2. Select the whole symbol with [meow-mark-symbol]
 3. Press [meow-grab] to activate secondary selection
 4. Press [negative-argument] [meow-find] and - to backward search for
    character -, will create fake cursor at each -
 5. Meow will start recording. Press [meow-change] to switch to Insert mode
    (character under current cursor is deleted)
 6. type _
 7. Press ESC to go back to NORMAL, then the macro will
    be applied to all fake cursors.
 8. Press [meow-grab] again to cancel the grab

 --> x-y-foo-bar-baz
     x_y_foo_bar_baz

No, you don't in this case.

[jgarte]

No, you don't in this case.

Hmmm, in that case it doesn't seem to be working for me. It only works if I use F3/F4 but this feels like too much work.

I'll try again and report back if anything changes.

These are the exact sequence of commands that I ran according to keycast-mode (I'm using a qwerty layout where the f key is assign to meow-find):

meow-line meow-grab meow-find (- f -) meow-beacon-change self-insert-command meow-insert-exit

On this line:

'emacs-update-environment-variables-on-sway-start

But I end up only with this:

'emacs-update-environment-variables-on-sway_start

Does this meow config look buggy at all?

WDYT

I triggered the above with same actions I mentioned above.

I think I might have figured it out. I'll report with more details tomorrow.
