Move the FAQ from README.Debian to jed_faq.txt
This was already done in 62c6578fa47204d20ca62cfead24f031cdfa861e, but
the merge of the 1:0.99.18 series brought it back to README.Debian and
included some changes. I've integrated these changes in the patch for
jed_faq.txt in the hope we can push it to upstream.

-Some frequently asked questions
--------------------------------
-
-(see also txt/jed_faq.txt)
-
-Q: I define keybindings in jed.rc but they are not working. What is wrong?
-A: Jed will load a fallback keybinding-file if you do not specify an
- emulation in jed.rc overwriting your bindings (see also
- README.Debian-startup).
-
- Either select an emulation in jed.rc (as in the example files),
- or put your keybindings inside a keybindings_hook(), e.g.::
-
- define keybindings_hook(emulation)
- {
- setkey("menu_select_menu(\"Global.&Help\")", Key_F1);
- % ...
- }
-
- If you define all your keybindings without ressorting to an emulation
- mode, set the variable _Jed_Emulation (e.g. _Jed_Emulation = "cool") to
- prevent loading the _Jed_Default_Emulation fallback.
-
-Q: My color settings are not working. What's wrong?
-A: If you're using set_color() calls without loading a pre-defined scheme
- with set_color_scheme(), Jed falls back to the _Jed_Default_Color_Scheme.
- To fix your problem, you can set _Jed_Color_Scheme, like
- _Jed_Color_Scheme = "cool".
-
-Q: When I paste indented text into Jed, it misaligns everything (i.e. every
- succeeding line is indented more than the previous, yielding horizontally
- cascading text).
-A: In Jed, carriage return is bound to `newline_and_indent'. While this
- auto-indention is a great help in normal editing, it stands in the way
- when text is pasted via the mouse. Unfortunately, Jed cannot tell whether
- its input comes from a keyboard, another program, or the mouse (XJed can).
-
-Q: How can I prevent this?
-A: There are several options:
-
- a) Use xjed.
- b) Use the `paste' function
- 1. M-x paste (or bind "paste" to a key)
- 2. Now paste your text...
- c) Install jed-extra and use newline_indent().
- See Help>Describe_Function newline_indent for details.
- d) Bind "newline_and_indent" to a different key.
- In jed.rc do e.g.:
-
- #ifndef XWINDOWS IBMPC_SYSTEM
- % Fix staircase effect with mouse-pasting in an x-terminal
- setkey("newline", "^M");
- setkey("newline_and_indent", "\eM"); % Alt_Return
- % Some modes overwrite the Key_Return binding. Restore it:
- define global_mode_hook (hook)
- {
- if (wherefirst(what_keymap() == ["C", "DCL", "IDL", "perl", "PHP"])
- != NULL)
- local_setkey("newline", "^M");
- }
- #endif
-
-Q: TAB does not generate a TAB! Why?
-A: It does something more useful: indenting the line according to the
- mode's rules. Use `quoted_insert' for a hard TAB. For the full story,
- see /usr/share/doc/jed-common/jed_faq.txt.gz, question #13.
-
-Q: When running Jed in an xterm, alt is not sending meta (and meta is not
- sending escape) so that alt-f and alt-b e.g. don't skip words forwards and
- backwards respectively.
-A: According to Thomas Dickey (do a google search to see that there is NO
- arguing here :) this is normal for xterm. To have alt "work", add
- 'xterm*metaSendsEscape: true' to your .Xresources (or equivalent) and
- make sure 'xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Alt_L"' is executed
- somewhere at X-startup (modify e.g. ~/.Xmodmap).
-
-Q: Jed makes a difference between a single '/' and multiple '/'
- in pathnames - e.g. '/usr//bin/' is *not* equal to '/usr/bin/' ! Why?
-A: According to John E. Davis, the author, this is like Emacs behaves, too.
-
-Q: My S-Lang scripts do no longer work.
-Q: After upgrading jed (or xjed), some jed-extra modes are broken.
-A: Since version 0.99.18, jed uses S-Lang 2. See "S-Lang 2 Interpreter NEWS"
- of /usr/share/doc/libslang2/slang.txt for further explanation.
-
-Q: Why is copy/paste not working on the console?
-A: First, be sure that the gpm package is installed and correctly
- configured. Copying and pasting in a JED window on the console should
- then work like in X-Window (with a three button mouse, for instance,
- select with left button and paste with middle button). However, for
- inserting text selected outside the JED window, you should press down
- the Alt key when pasting with the mouse.
-
-Q: How do I cancel a command that prompts me with "y/n" choices, without a
- "cancel" otpion?
-A: In Jed, (almost all) actions can be aborted by pressing a configurable
- "abort character" or calling the function kbd_quit(). The most used
- default abort character is `Ctrl-G'. Some emulations use a different
- default:
- CUA: `Ctrl-D' (and optional ESC, see cua_escape_cmd())
- Wordstar: `Ctrl-6'
