Hi, when editing code in minibuffer (M-:) eldoc is not available. This patch provide this feature. eldoc is displayed in mode-line. It provide a macro that can be put around any code that use minibuffer like this: (with-eldoc-in-minibuffer (read-string "test: ")) It take care of other minibuffers and display eldoc only in the ones called with `with-eldoc-in-minibuffer'. Of course you can disable this feature with `eldoc-in-minibuffer' set to nil. -- A+ Thierry Get my Gnupg key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 59F29997
