Subject: Tutorial menu item - unfortunate implementation
Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2002 10:44:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020626104412.GA16076@xyz> (raw)
Start Emacs 21.2.1 in its own X window.
In the menu bar, click "Help" -> "Emacs Tutorial (choose language)...".
Now the minibuffer says "Language: " and Emacs is as helpful
as a silent sage.
Is that appropriate for the type of user who would click on that
menu item? User must guess there's a string for him to enter,
must guess the right string (or be rewarded with "[no match]"),
or type `?' or `TAB' first by some lucky impulse.
I think it would suffice to have the `*Completions*' buffer
appear automatically (without user pressing `TAB'). Luckily,
the `*Completions*' buffer is a clickable menu.
