I am glad it is so simple. I'd still rather save it for after the release, but at that time, please make the change. The request (and thus the change that RMS asked to be made) was this: Any chance that the number of keystrokes displayed by `view-lossage', currently hard-coded at 100, could be made a user option? ^^^^^^^^^^^ Since then, the hard-coded limit was upped to 300. But there still is no user option, is there? Could we please add an option for this now? The code is in C - it's not simple for a user to change the value without a Lisp variable for it.
