I use that key all the time in the minibuffer, and can't without
it. I give you the practical example:
- PDF book in Dired is called:
21252030 agenda for sustainable development web.pdf
- I click and wish to index the book, so initial prompt for the title
will be:
21252030 agenda for sustainable development web.pdf
- I delete 21252030 with M-d and use M-c to get following:
Agenda For Sustainable Development
- then I press RET to record information
Without M-c in minibuffer I would need to re-assign key binding.
But it works, I did not know something changed.
