I've read through man/calendar.texi and have some comments.
(1) The documentation of calendar-week-start-day doesn't mention that
if this variable is changed, redraw-calendar needs calling for the
effect to be visible. Also, until the calendar is redrawn, the
movement commands (e.g., calendar-forward-day) don't work
correctly. This situation is confusing and should at least be
mentioned in the variable documentation; better still if
customizing the variable redraws the calendar automatically.
(2) The resizing of the calendar window that can occur with, for
example, calendar-forward-month can be distracting, so a
customizable minimum window height may be useful.
(3) In Calendar mode, SPC is bound to scroll-other-window, so binding
DEL to scroll-other-window-down seems natural (cf. view-mode).
(4) The error message "Months before February, 1 AD are not available"
looks a bit strange if you do, for example, C-u calendar RET 1 RET
February RET then M-v (scroll-calendar-right-three-months). I
guess that the message refers specifically to using C-u M-x
calendar, but there are other routes to generate-calendar, and
maybe something like "Months before January, 1 AD cannot be
displayed" would be more informative.
(5) The earliest Mayan long count date appears to be 7.17.18.13.3,
rather than 7.17.18.13.1. (This needs to be checked.)
(6) Mention timeclock-change, and fix the documentation for the
default behaviour of timeclock-ask-before-exiting.
See attached patch for suggested changes. Thanks,
Matt
