Subject: next-history-element and previous-history-element could point be moved to the end of the input? left at the front of input
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:58:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <18599.5459.272937.69350@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)

Hi,

At present, commands next-history-element and
previous-history-element
when used in the minibuffer leave point at the front of the
minibuffer input. Could this be changed so that point is left at
the end?


Justification:

If you pass a default value to functions like completing-read,
that default value can be brought into the minibuffer via M-n.
But if  you then want to have this input passed to a custom
completer -- one needs to  move point to the end of the
minibuffer before hitting tab --- if you just hit tab after
hitting M-n, the custom completer receives the empty string as
input, and will consequently fail.
