I usually browse the ChangeLogs from a pcl-cvs buffer; there SPC (or mouse-2) opens the ChangeLog in "ChangeLog mode", not view mode. I use VC myself, so I am not familiar with pcl-cvs, but apparently you seem to _expect_ SPC to open the ChangeLog in View mode. This would appear to be strictly a pcl-cvs issue, as Kai suggested. Still, it should be possible to have a sort of "pseudo-view-minor-mode" which works like view mode until you make some "real change" to a file. I believe it would be _way_ too confusing to the user to enable anything like that by default. It could be argued that no feature does any harm if completely optional, but I can not see why it would be worth the trouble. If you want to visit a buffer in View mode, just visit it in View mode. Again, I believe that the only problem is that there is something in the pcl-cvs interface that you do not like. Apart from that there does not seem to be a big problem. accidentally inserting a character is no big deal. You either hit `undo' or Backspace. End of problem. Happens all the time for various reasons. Sincerely, Luc.
