Subject: bug#11482: 24.0.96; Keep `M-s' as a prefix key for search (conflict with Gnus)
Date: Tue, 15 May 2012 12:05:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <703E3EF0C68345F2BC8A537EDBB42E54@us.oracle.com> (raw)
An Icicles user just brought to my attention the fact that Gnus binds
`M-s' to a command (`gnus-summary-search-article-forward', IIUC).
This conflicts with a default Icicles setting, but that's no big deal
because it is easy for users to customize this. By default, Icicles
uses `M-s M-s' as a prefix key for Icicles search.
My understanding was that `M-s' is now pretty much reserved as a prefix
key for search. For example: `M-s w' and the Dired search keys, which
all use prefix key `M-s f'. My thinking for defining `M-s M-s' as an
Icicles search prefix key was (a) `M-s' is a prefix key for Emacs search
generally, and (b) I did not find any conflicts for `M-s M-s' on the
`M-s' prefix key.
But if Gnus binds `M-s' to a command, that conflicts with the general
use of `M-s' as a prefix key (for search). That is the bug: Gnus should
not bind `M-s' to a command. `M-s' should remain a prefix key (for
search).
Presumably, in the context where `M-s' is bound to a Gnus command it is
unavailable for use by Isearch etc. Even for Gnus users of vanilla
Emacs, I would think that this would be a loss.
