Hello all,
I've been using Emacs 22.3.1 on Slackware64_13 for several months.
I've been using Emacs since version 21.4 in 2005.
I decided recently to try Emacs 23.1. I compiled and installed it
correctly, but now there's a problem -- especially in text mode (e.g.
emacs -nw).
With Emacs 22, I can type "F10" and then "b" and I get the following
in a window above the minibuffer:
-
--------------------screenshot----------------------------------------------------
Possible completions are:
c==>*Completions* *% s==>*scratch*
b==>*Buffer List* %
e==>emacs-windows-reference.txt -- .../emacs-reference/
E==>emacs-reference % -- .../emacs-reference/
h==>~ % -- /home/drew/ m==>*Messages* *
n==>Next Buffer (C-x <C-right>) p==>Previous Buffer (C-x <C-left>)
S==>Select Named Buffer... (C-x b)
l==>List All Buffers (C-x C-b)
- --------------------

With that, I simply select the first letter of the buffer I want and
Emacs switches to it and shows only the selected buffer.
With Emacs 23, if I hit F10 and b I get this:
- --------------------

Possible completions are:
n==>Next Buffer p==>Previous Buffer
s==>Select Named Buffer... l==>List All Buffers
- --------------------

This is far less helpful. I then need to type l, which gives me the
buffer list in the window. If I select a buffer, it switches to it,
but leaves a split window. The non-menu equivalent is:
C-x C-b
C-x o
<the letter of the buffer I want>
C-x 1
There's simply no point in using the menu with Emacs 23. I much prefer
F10 -> b -> <first letter>, like I do with Emacs 22.
Thank you,
Drew Ames
