Subject: display.texi: (<line>,<col>) isn't documented.
Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2007 00:19:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070605231947.GA2058@muc.de> (raw)
Hi, Emacs!
When one of line-number-mode and column-number-mode is enabled, you see
either "L561" or "C2" in the mode line. When both are enabled, you see
instead "(561,2)". This isn't documented in the Emacs manual page
"Optional Mode Line".
I'm not sure what's so good about this, since "(561,2)" needs just as
much space as "L561 C2" and seems less consistent. However, I'm
assuming this was knocked about on emacs-devel all these years ago, and
there was a good reason for "(561,2)".
So here's a patch (intended for Emacs 22.2 as well as the trunk) to fix
this:
2007-06-06 Alan Mackenzie <acm@muc.de>
* display.texi (Optional Mode Line): Document the new form of
line+column numbers, "(561,2)".
