Subject: bug#30560: Better format for view-lossage
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2018 23:17:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871shfnywp.fsf@mail.linkov.net> (raw)

It would much more useful in the output buffer of ‘C-h l’ (view-lossage)
to use the same format as is used by ‘edit-last-kbd-macro’.
Then it will possible to just copy the lines from the buffer generated
by ‘view-lossage’, yank them to the buffer “*Edit Macro*” created by
‘edit-last-kbd-macro’, and save the macro by ‘C-c C-c’.
This is useful for such cases when the user forgets to start macro recording,
or wants to convert recent keystrokes to the macro without re-typing them,
or pick only some of recent keystrokes and compose a new macro
in different order.
This patch is for master:

PS: I'm not sure whether this feature should be documented somewhere.
