I find no > description of what that "Install" button does. The "Install" button installs the package. I don't think that concept needs explication. Most of the rest of the bug report is about whether the batch-oriented command set of package.el is appropriate. I think marking and then `x'-executing packages is a pretty odd interface myself -- I don't think the user commonly works in that batch-oriented way, so having this be a two step process is pretty weird. I'm not sure we can change what the `i' and `d' keys do at this point, though, but perhaps we could introduce two new keystrokes? Anybody got an opinion here? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
