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.
