Subject: Major usability issue
Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2002 13:01:29 -0700	[thread overview]
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.  :-(
