Subject: bug#48764: mini-buffer completion
Date: Mon, 31 May 2021 22:16:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <trinity-d23ac641-7be6-4d1c-a564-3c2eab5d06d1-1622492186735@3c-app-mailcom-bs01> (raw)
`completing-read' prompts a user to select from a set of candidates, providing
mini-buffer completion to narrow and complete the user input.
But the mini-buffer does not provide the user with any indication that he can use
the "up" and "down" keys to navigate a list of settings. It would be beneficial to
introduce some kind of glyph or indicator in the mini-buffer to make the user aware
that arrow keys can be used, and be described in the manual.
(if current-prefix-arg
(let* ( ($major-mode
'("org-mode" "texinfo-mode" "emacs-lisp-mode"
"lisp-mode" "f90-mode"))
($mode (completing-read "Mode: " $major-mode
nil t nil 'ziggurat-bufr-history)) )
(funcall (intern $mode)))
(funcall (intern (or mode "org-mode"))))))
