List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:6656 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:6656 I tried this out on the comint.el which shipped with Emacs 21.2.1, and it works marvelously. I used 'intangible in addition so left arrow would skip right over the prompt (and C-a, etc., would stop before the prompt). Would you guys be interested in this type of functionality? It is certainly worth trying out.
