Subject: Re: Avoiding moving point into minibuffer prompt area
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 16:43:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1E58Hc-0004ys-VG@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87ll3288tb.fsf@jurta.org> (message from Juri Linkov on Tue, 16 Aug 2005 12:59:28 +0300)
It is useful to move point into the minibuffer prompt without
changing default settings. But since this can be confusing for
beginners, maybe it should be more difficult to move point into the
prompt area by default? For example, to disable moving point into
the prompt with C-b, but allow C-a at the beginning of the input
area to move point to the beginning of the prompt.
I don't want to even consider something so complex.
This is the sort of minor issue that can take up lots of everyone's
time, but can't possibly be worth it. And in the mean time, the tasks
that need to be done for the release are not getting done.
Therefore, I will say right now that I will not consider anything
along these lines. I ask everyone to drop this thread and not send
any further mail about it.
