Fair enough. > Can one assign default values when `read-from-minibuffer` in empty? =E2=80=9Cread-from-minibuffer=E2=80=9D as well as the functions suggested = by Stefan Monnier (=E2=80=9Cread-number=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9Cread-string=E2=80=9D, =E2= =80=A6) have a parameter DEFAULT or DEFAULT-VALUE (or similar) that you may use for that purpose; read their documentation. You may also check the return value of =E2=80=9Cread-from-minibuffer=E2=80= =9D or =E2=80=9Cread-string=E2=80=9D and act accordingly: (let ((read-result (read-from-minibuffer "Prompt: "))) (if (seq-empty-p read-result) (setq read-result "default-value"))) See also: --=20 Felix Dietrich
