Subject: bug#6553: M-x grep should encourage the user to remember to add filenames to the command line
Date: Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:26:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87eifm6s5d.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
M-x grep, instead of prompting like:
Run grep (like this): zgrep -nH -e
should prompt like:
Run grep (like this): zgrep -nH -e *
with the cursor placed ^here.
That way the user won't need to remember to add the *, which he usually
wants, but always forgets, as I recall I mentioned a few years back.
