List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:4214 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:4214 Current look: Diff: vendor (d v), head (d h), backup (d b), diff (=) Diff: 2 = other (d 2), e = idiff (d e), E = imerge (d E) I already deleted the equivalent key bindings, so it would now be Current look: Diff: vendor, head, backup, diff, 2 = other, e = idiff Diff: E = imerge (It appears that the key one types for `diff' is d, not =. The key binding for that is =, not d =.) So you are proposing these two alternatives (I have corrected an apparent mistake for `diff'): [alternative 1]: Diff: v = vendor, h = head, b = backup, d = diff Diff: 2 = other, e = idiff, E = imerge [alternative 2]: Diff: (v)endor, (h)ead, (b)ackup, (d) diff Diff: (2) other, (e) idiff, (E) imerge I think a better idea is to keep the current format but put the keys you would type in bold face. So it would look like Diff: vendor, head, backup, diff, 2 = other, e = idiff Diff: E = imerge with the v, h, b, d, 2, e and E in bold. Given this, the ='s could be deleted, giving Diff: vendor, head, backup, diff, 2 other, e idiff Diff: E imerge with the v, h, b, d, 2, e and E in bold. If the terminal does not support bold or any other suitable standout mode, it could put in the ='s as a fallback. It could do either Diff: vendor, head, backup, diff, 2 = other, e = idiff Diff: E = imerge or Diff: v = vendor, h = head, b = backup, d = diff Diff: 2 = other, e = idiff, E = imerge
