Subject: 28.0.50; "f is undefined" in list-packages buffer
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2020 15:31:15 +0300

1. 'emacs -Q'
2. 'M-x list-packages'
3. 'f'
4. Observe message "f is undefined"

When I type "h", in the help popup "f" is reserved to mean "filter". Online documentation also mentions only "f" to filter the packages: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Package-Menu.html

In describe-mode I see that filtering is done using "/" prefix key, not with "f".

The issue seems simple enough that I could fix it myself and send a patch. However I'm not sure how to best lay out items in the message shown from package-menu-quick-help - any advice?

This is because Emacs 27 introduced new filtering commands under the '/'
prefix, so the old binding 'f' no longer exists:

Filter packages by name in list-packages. (Bug#36981)
f96b8fd27c 2019-10-08 19:24:12 +0200
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=f96b8fd27c382a941c52c2938544b9b0e3a2fb0e

Here's the relevant etc/NEWS entry:

  *** New functions for filtering packages list.
  A new function has been added which allows users to filter the
  packages list by name: 'package-menu-filter-by-name'.  By default, it
  is bound to '/ n'.  Additionally, the function
  'package-menu-filter-by-keyword' has been renamed from
  'package-menu-filter'.  Its keybinding has also been changed to '/ k'
  (from 'f').  To clear any of the two filters, the user can now call
  the 'package-menu-clear-filter' function, bound to '/ /' by default.

> "filter". Online documentation also mentions only "f" to filter the

The online manual has not yet been updated because Emacs 27 is still at
the pretest stage and not officially released.

> In describe-mode I see that filtering is done using "/" prefix key, not with "f".

Indeed.

The problem with 'h' (package-menu-quick-help) is that it is both
overengineered and limited in what it can do.  What it does is take a
word such as 'filter' and highlight a single character to indicate the
corresponding key binding.  E.g. ("filter" . 1) would highlight the 'i',
and "/-filter" would highlight the '/'.  This naively assumes that the
key binding is a single character, which is no longer the case.

On emacs-27, I propose we either remove the mention of filtering from
the quick help altogether, or write "/-filter" and let the user figure
out that '/' is actually a prefix that can be inspected in the usual
ways, such as by following it with C-h or <f1>.  For example:

* lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el (package--quick-help-keys): Filtering
is now bound to the prefix '/', not the key 'f' (bug#41721).
Advertise only the standard 'g' binding now that both it and 'r' are
bound to revert-buffer (bug#35504).
(package--prettify-quick-help-key): Avoid modifying string literals.
(package-menu-filter): Reintroduce as obsolete alias of
package-menu-filter-by-keyword for backward
compatibility (bug#36981).

On master, we could change package-menu-quick-help to support arbitrary
key bindings.

WDYT?

Of course it does, but what are you for exactly?  Removing the mention
of "filter", changing it to "/-filter" so that the '/' is highlighted,
or something else?

Thanks,

Apologies - I mean the included patch with "/-filter".

Removing the mention of "filter" completely will hurt discoverability - I suspect I personally would not have discovered that feature if not for the help message.

OK, thanks for clarifying.  I'll wait for others, particularly Eli, to
chime in as well before pushing anything.

Thanks, but what am I supposed to do or say in this case?

Whether the patch for emacs-27 in https://debbugs.gnu.org/41721#11 is
kosher.
