Function: c-electric-delete

c-electric-delete is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in cc-cmds.el.gz.

Signature

(c-electric-delete ARG)

Documentation

Deletes preceding or following character or whitespace.

This function either deletes forward as c-electric-delete-forward or backward as c-electric-backspace, depending on the configuration: If the function delete-forward-p is defined and returns non-nil, it deletes forward. Otherwise it deletes backward.

Note: This is the way in XEmacs to choose the correct action for the
[delete] key, whichever key that means. Other flavors don't use this
function to control that.
