I received no feedback, so I thought maybe posting it to emacs-bugs would be a better way of eliciting some response.[1] Why should lack of GUI bells-and-whistles be a "deal-breaker"? Not everything in emacs has that, and while I can understand a policy to _urge_ developers to include GUI support, rejecting incremental improvements just holds the project back. As for a 'NEWS' entry, I've never written one before, but based upon what I see, I don't see much to add than: ** New function for tabulated lists: 'tabulated-list-resize-current-column' > If you or someone else has time and motivation > ...

That's likely. My use-case is that I'm preparing a modification for the emacs-w3m web browser, for which using tabulated-list mode is one implementation option; however it lacks these features. I would prefer to code the functionality in a manner that can be used by others in the emacs-verse; otherwise, they'll get written as functions specific to emacs-w3m, and frankly that project has way too much of that type of double-work already. [1] Did a similar thing happen with my patches for cua-rectangle-mode? I posted several bug fixes and maybe other stuff, and haven't heard from anyone else. Wait a minute - the emacs project isn't a one-man show, and I'm not expecting you to field all its traffic. I'm sure I cc'ed the maintainers listed in the file's header. -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0
