; Fix the indent command to indent the current selection if there is one

(defcommand "Indent" (p)
  "Invokes function held by the Hemlock variable \"Indent Function\",
  moving point past region if called with argument."
  (if (region-active-p)
    (let ((region (current-region)))
      (with-mark ((start (region-start region) :left-inserting)
                  (end (region-end region) :left-inserting))
        (indent-region-for-commands (region start end))))
    (let ((point (current-point)))
      (with-mark ((mark point :left-inserting))
        (cond ((or (not p) (zerop p))
               (funcall (value indent-function) mark)
               (when (mark< point mark)
                 (move-mark point mark)))
              (t
               (if (plusp p)
                 (unless (line-offset point (1- p))
                   (buffer-end point))
                 (unless (line-offset mark (1+ p))
                   (buffer-start mark)))
               (indent-region-for-commands (region mark point))
               (find-attribute (line-start point) :whitespace #'zerop)))))))

Because MCL was built from the ground-up a a Mac application, so it knew about font widths.  CCL uses Hemlock as its editor, which is a legacy application that doesn't know about font widths and assumes everything is rendered with a fixed width font.
