One possible reason is that if we allow almost all symbol lists, people will tend to overlook the need for a `lambda' special case, write their code to use straight-forward symbol lists -- and odd bu
I don't like the idea of changing assoc-string to also match symbols. Maybe it won't lead to any catastrophe, but it just sounds wrong. I don't like the idea of adding "" at the beginning of a compl
A problem is that `debugger-old-buffer' is not necessarily the same buffer that was current when `eval-buffer' was called. Strange, somehow I thought about that issue and concluded that it would be t
I think you're right on the general principle. But I'm talking of one specific problem (the JPEG/filehandle issue) that does not match your explanation: - The main issue I'm expecting to hear comment
Fine with me, but others may object to removing the ability to set the indicators from the menu bar... My patches do not _preclude_ re-adding them to the menubar. But since we can not possibly add _a
2005/9/13, Nick Roberts <address@hidden>: Er, well guessing what you meant[*], it seems a reasonable enough thing to do -- I'm referring to _fundamental_ changes in representations, etc. I think _tho
Another thing about preselecting an initial value in the minibuffer - Although I provide that in my library as an option, I turn it off by default. This is because I find that much of the time I want
I think you are right and clear! But then the most sensible thing would be to make it optional. What about something like: (defcustom minibuffer-insert-default-value nil "Insert DEFAULT-VALUE into mi
I made that temporary to get some feed back on it. The link was put in on explicit request of people who objected against programs writing in their init files. It makes little sense to put in the but
It would be ok to add a cross reference to the Elisp manual, but the description of the functions is dead-on and should not be replaced by some watered-down half-inaccurate stuff. Damn straight!
2006/1/27, Nick Roberts <address@hidden>: I've not seen much consensus on that point (indeed the consensus _seemed_ to say that tumme will replace thumbs), but I must admit: I couldn't figure out how
I didn't say there was, but it was a viewpoint expressed by more than one person. I think that only Richard has said that, but since he makes the decisions and they are not made by consensus, that m
Thumbs operation on the other hand is er, pretty obvious and straight-forward, and it seems reasonably useful for what it does... At the least, I got a buffer full of thumbnails with the first comman
Here is an example of such a command. It tries to mirror the way the `thumbs' command works. I added a new defcustom, a new defun with a defalias and made a slight change to `tumme-display-thumbs'. B
I looked at the XEmacs code (ediff-tbar.el) and it seems to use features that emacs does not have. So straight porting cannot be done, but implementing something similar is not hard using button wid
Dear Emacs Developers, Let me introduce myself -- I am the Bulgarian Minister of State Administration. I am pleased to announce that the Bulgarian government, having read the "Philosophy" section at
I would like to propose a change in the way the greek-ibycus4 input-method for ancient Greek handles capital letters with iota subscript (ypogegrammeni), as a result of having been bitten by its (to
I think there is a bit of code point vs reprentation problem here, too. I think that ᾈ is actually the same `character' as Ἀι or even Αι(though Αι would also be short for Ἁι, like in ἐ
below is a revised patch that better integrates the text. i hope these changes are not too drastic, now. (ChangeLog entry the same.) if there are no objections i will install this and move on (that i
I disagree. C-g is supposed to stop Emacs, not other processes. I don't consider it a good idea to have to worry about arbitrary processes terminating. IIRC, keyboard-quit events even cut straight ac
