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.
