Please don't. As was pointed out at that URL: YAGNI. Just use `M-p' a couple of times. And you only need to reverse them once, to be able to reuse the reversed order. Using `C-u' just to reverse previous inputs would be a waste. One can easily dream up more important uses for a prefix arg for `M-%' here. (What I do for `M-%' is combine regular q-r, regexp q-r, and word q-r, distinguishing by prefix arg (regular: none, regexp: 0/+, word: -). Not saying that's what vanilla Emacs should do - just one example of better uses for the prefix arg here.) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
