shift-select-mode is a variable defined in `simple.el'. Its value is t Documentation: When non-nil, shifted motion keys activate the mark momentarily. While the mark is activated in this way, any shi
The problems with this are not logical, they are with implementing it (both the movement itself and the resulting selection and highlight). Patches are welcome.
The resulting selection and highlight appear to do just what is needed already and don't seem to have a problem with visual discontinuity. So only the movement itself would appear to be an issue. If
I think you misunderstand the goal of free software. The whole point is to give people the power of choice. Choosing to cripple themselves is a valid choice. You can try making it harder to get stuck
Very generous and I apologise for the length/grammar. I'm posting from gmail and due to the poor interface, tend not to edit as much as I should. Not an excuse, just a statement of my laziness. I hav
OK, sorry, my error - must be confused with other projects. As has been pointed out by others, the need to run autocont or some other command to generate the config file is common when working from s
Except i don't believe you need to do this step when installing from a tar ball - the configure script is usually provided. Therefore, putting the instructions in the same file could confuse those bu
INSTALL are the instructions for a user installing from a tarball, so they should likely not be overly complicated. It does not harm to put a sentence referring to INSTALL.BZR in, but INSTALL.BZR doe
I've been thinking that lately too. First, the fact that .authinfo is created world-readable just seems like a clear bug. Also easy to fix (sorry, I don't have patch, but I could come up with one if

Bug #9113 is slightly different from what T.V. and I were saying. #9113 suggests solving the exposure problem through encryption, and then #7487 has a long discussion about what kind of encryption it
Attached is a patch suggestion which implements `ido-vc-dir' which is an ido replacement for `vc-dir'. There is some code duplication (copied straight from the definition of `vc-dir'), which we proba

Interesting; this is not my experience. Since switching to macosx I've used both Aquamacs and the mac port, and have always switched back to stock gnu emacs, because what little bit of help I can add
Because the optimizations rely on the display being up to date, which cannot be assured if redisplay was aborted half way through. There is no reason in principle that it can't be assured. The displa
Since XEmacs doesn't use gnulib and Gnus supports XEmacs, that wouldn't help the Gnus developers because they still have to support that edge case. It would be nice, though :) See my earlier e-mail f
I think we should make an effort to make the netrc/authinfo file shareable with other programs, or else what's the point of using such a file? We may as well `print' straight to a file. raw-text enco
FWIW, I agree. To set the record straight: AFAIK there's not a single locale where Windows uses UTF-8 as the default encoding. Internal operations all use UTF-16, and file names are encoded by the N
