Are the functions behind C-c C-N, C-c C-p, C-c C-f, C-c C-b & C-c C-u
available? Seems you could add a function for going to the first
child. As long as that, C-c C-f & C-c C-b all return something to let
you know there isn't a next, this should be pretty complete.
I guess all you would need would be the following functions which
would move to the correct place or return something to say there isn't
a next/parent/child/sibling etc to signal the end of iteration.
- doc traversal
- first-item
Go to the first item in the file.
- current-item
Go to the beginning of the item containing the cursor.
- next-item
Go to the item after the current one.
- previous-item
Go to item before the current one
- tree traversal
- parent-item
Go to the parent item of the current item
- first-child-item
Go to the first item contained in the current item
- next-sibling-item
Go to the next item that has the same parent
- previous-sibling-item
Go to the previous item that has the same parent
This ought to be enough to try to implement anything else on top of
it. Did I miss something?
