If the prompt were to be changed to say something like "Describe event (key, mouse or menu selection):", it would be more obvious what it can do. It doesn't matter if the prompt is long, since at most, a few key strokes need to be echoed in the minibuffer next to it. If some emacs maintainer reads this, please consider it a feature request, even if it is in the wrong forum. ;-) -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen - Debating gives most of us much more psychological satisfaction than thinking does: but it deprives us of whatever chance there is of getting closer to the truth. -- C.P.
