Subject: Major usability issue

Message-ID: <3D73C399.1D26C2E1@pacbell.net> (raw)
For years I have captured the output of a shell command and inserted
it into my document. The latest distributions of Linux now carry a
version of emacs that makes doing that non-obvious. I'm sure it is
doable, but it is really important to just be able to ALT-| then
type a command and be able to use a mouse click to capture the text.
I haven't read emacs lisp macros yet in order to reverse-engineer
what has been done; but I shouldn't have to either. :-(
