That makes sense, but there are some edge conditions here that the current implementation avoids by using a "line" definition. That is, if we're at the final line in the buffer, and there's no newline at the end, `duplicate-line' will add one. That is, it's really line oriented, and not region oriented, and making it do regions, too, would possibly make it more confusing. Unless we ensure a newline at the end of all the regions we paste in. > - Having point end up at the duplicated line instead of the original > one, since that's the line you usually want to edit (in my > experience).

I think that sounds a bit too specialised.=20 --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
