Subject: CUA mode cursor color
Date: 13 May 2002 10:16:51 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <buooffk4zjw.fsf@mcspd15.ucom.lsi.nec.co.jp> (raw)
I turned on CUA mode to check it out, and noticed that in addition to
the behavior I expected -- C-x/C-c/C-v cut 'n' paste -- it also changed
my cursor color.
After searching a bit, I found the following in cua-mode.el:
;; CUA mode indications
;; --------------------
;; You can choose to let CUA use different cursor colors to indicate
;; overwrite mode and read-only buffers.
[This is apparently on by default too.]
Is there a reason this is part of CUA mode? Even if it's a nice feature
(and I suppose it is, I was just surprised by it), it seems orthogonal
to the main functionality of CUA mode.
Why not move this stuff into a separate mode -- then people who don't
want CUA mode can use it, and people who just want CUA mode won't have
to go investigate why their cursor color keeps changing.
-Miles
p.s. I was very impressed by how smoothly cua-mode manages to integrate
the seemingly incompatible CUA keybindings into emacs!
