Subject: bug#1305: Please disable the audible bell by default, to avoid discouraging newbies in crowded offices and elsewhere
Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 03:34:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c241693f0811060034v448aaa4h47d6ccee91ed7d2e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi Xavier,
Re. users with vision loss: They need a screen reader (Emacspeak
provides that) or a magnifier utility. But why do they also need
beep-on-error? I started a thread at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.emacspeak.general today to ask if
they really need it. And if they do need it, remember they're in the
minority. Will they truly mind searching online to learn how to
enable it?
Re. searching online and reading the documentation: Users don't want
to waste time on that. They want to spend their time getting things
done. Let's make Emacs an editor for getting things done.
-Jason
