Subject: bug#4807: 23.1.50; Unhelpful user visible type error in transpose-lines
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:30:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f5bc73230910260330r10573ffdhc75f310808ac831c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
With an argument of 0, transpose-lines will swap the lines that point
and mark are in. In a fresh buffer in which mark has not yet been set
this will result in a type error:
(wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)
This isn't very helpful to the user. exchange-point-and-mark fails in
the same conditions with the much clearer phrasing "No mark set in
this buffer", perhaps transpose-lines should copy that.
