(defun prefix-region (prefix)
"Insert PREFIX at the beginning of each line between mark and point."
(interactive "sPrefix string: ")
(let ((end (region-end)))
(save-excursion
(goto-char (region-beginning))
(beginning-of-line)
(save-restriction
(narrow-to-region (point) end)
(while (not (eobp))
(insert prefix)
(forward-line 1))))))
(provide 'prefix-region)
What's that about?

There seems to be a few of those files. Maybe move them to the online packages. Leo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

My words exactly: what's that about? I can't find this code in Emacs, so I wonder what your bug report is about. Are you suggesting we include this command in Emacs (I can't see why that would be useful since the rectangle-insert function works about as well for that).

You are certainly very quick when it doesn't count. ;-) I mistakenly created this bug report and within 6 minutes I had closed it. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

The time it takes to respond to a bug report depends on any number of factors, including (but not limited to) the maintainer's understanding of the Emacs area where the bug happens, the time it takes to reproduce the problem, the amount of free time (holidays etc.), you name it. In this case, I'm guessing that it took about a few seconds to find out that there's no such code anywhere in Emacs. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Well, when compared to some of my backlog where I still have posts more than 2 years old, it's probably not that unfair. > The time it takes to respond to a bug report depends on any number of > factors, including (but not limited to) the maintainer's understanding > of the Emacs area where the bug happens, the time it takes to > reproduce the problem, the amount of free time (holidays etc.), you > name it.

It's unfair to assume that you handle quickly bugs that are unimportant, but leave alone the important ones. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

You are silly to jump on such a comment (with a kidding smily yet!) as if it were a nasty complaint or criticism. For the record, I do not consider Stefan to act quickly only on bug reports that are unimportant. > The time it takes to respond to a bug report depends on any number of > factors, including (but not limited to) the maintainer's understanding > of the Emacs area where the bug happens, the time it takes to > reproduce the problem, the amount of free time (holidays etc.), you > name it.

And I, for my part, would have closed the mistaken report sooner than within 6 minutes, if I had had a bug number to close. As soon as I posted the bug report I realized my mistake, but I had to wait until the bug showed up at http://debbugs.gnu.org/ to get the number. I specifically went to that site instead of waiting for the confirmation mail with the bug number (which takes even longer), in order to shorten the time before closing. IOW, I closed the bug as quickly as I knew how. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
