With regard to moving the "Blinking Cursor" option away from the top
menu into the submenu "Appearance" (with this new name instead of the
previous "Hide/Show"): the only complaints that I heard were
procedural complaints about me not waiting long enough before I
install such a change. When people said something about the idea
itself, it seemed supportive. It's been now about 3 days, so I shall
go ahead and do that. If I misunderstood something, reverting is
always possible.
The objections have been formulated before:
All the options in Hide/Show hide/show something, in the usual sense
these words have in English. blink-cursor-mode does not hide/show the
cursor. It does not belong in this group. That is why Richard asked
to commit it at top level. Hide/Sow is a much more accurate
description of what the group contains than "Appearance".
Sincerely,
Luc.
