Subject: bug#23405: 24.5; Say more clearly that `set-goal-column' acts for current buffer only
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 20:40:17 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0d65eb7e-9973-40af-874d-0e82c30b2097@default> (raw)
Both the doc string of `set-goal-column' (`C-x C-n') and its doc in the
Emacs manual should state more clearly that the effect is only for the
current buffer. For a user to find this out (besides experimenting),
s?he would need to click the link for the variable `goal-column'
referred to in the doc for the command. The information is there, but
it could be more clear and direct.
In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
of 2015-04-11 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
`configure --prefix=/c/usr --host=i686-pc-mingw32'
