Subject: Quit within sit-for
Date: Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:54:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jwvod6azpil.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (raw)
In your recent change to minibuffer.el you added:
;; A quit during sit-for should be (re-)read as
;; abort-recursive-edit
(inhibit-quit t))
Other than the lack of "." at the end of the sentence, I'm worried that
if this fixes a bug, the bug is a lot more widespread. But I must say
I don't understand the comment.
The comment seems to say that C-g within the sit-for be "(re-)read"
differently than if it had been typed at some other time. Is that
really what your change is about? If so, that sounds wrong (the
sit-for is only a display artifact and should ideally in no way
influence Emacs's behavior).
Or is it that without your change Emacs does behave differently within
the sit-for than outside of it and your change tries to bring the two
behaviors a bit closer to each other?
Stefan
