Subject: bug#13521: `sort-lines' on the empty region
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2013 08:53:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130122085354.75ced82538551655e724e0ea@gmail.com> (raw)

The current behavior of `sort-lines' on the empty region is to do
nothing. I often find that I want to sort whole buffers at the time,
and I expect `sort-lines' to do just that, before remembering I have
to mark the whole buffer first.

Wouldn't it be convenient to change the behavior of `sort-lines' so
that it sorts the whole buffer if no region is marked? Or is this
inconsistent with how other region-operating functions works?

See:
