Subject: bug#21874: 25.0.50; point-entered no longer works
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 18:27:22 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <585B558E-8150-489D-B4B2-CBD50AF46BF8@gmail.com> (raw)
Emacs -q
C-a avoids the minibuffer prompt, but cursor movement with left-arrow is still possible. That seems to be intentional (and still a questionable default - a discussion on emacs-devel has been seen).
Setting minibuffer-prompt-properties to the new `cursor-intangible' fixes the cursor movement issue and C-x h.
However,
(setq minibuffer-prompt-properties '(read-only t point-entered minibuffer-avoid-prompt))
fails to work as intended. That seems to be a bug, because `minibuffer-avoid-prompt' is just obsolete (since 25.1), and the NEWS file lists `point-entered' as obsolete, too. So it should still work.
Feature suggestion: Why can't Emacs see that a user had (point-entered minibuffer-avoid-prompt) and simply translate that to (cursor-intangible t)?
Another feature suggestion: When the cursor is in a read-only area, why can’t self-insert-command jump to the next area where input is allowed? When a region contains read-only areas, and delete is pressed or delete-selection-mode would cause the region to be killed, could Emacs just kill all the writeable text and leave the read-only portion (e.g., mini buffer prompts!) in place? It would be so nice if Emacs could “do the right thing”!
