Subject: Why does C-M-o `split-line' leave trailing space on the old line?
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2023 17:40:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZVeli1dypBZnpRLI@ACM> (raw)
Hello, Emacs.
C-M-o, on something like:
foo bar baz
^
point
will split the line into
foo bar
baz
, but will leave a trailing space on the first line. This is in
accordance with its documentation in emacs.info, but this peculiarity
isn't mentioned in the doc string.
I find this trailing space irritating, as I frequently have to remove it
by hand. What is the motivation for this trailing space, and do we
really want it?
