This sentence is too complex. Suggest to reword as two sentences: This allows the user to customize the key selection method, which can be either by using a pop-up buffer or from the minibuffer. The pop-up buffer method is the default, which preserves previous behavior. Also, why did you decide not to document this in the manual? epa.el has its own manual, so how about adding this option to it? > +(defcustom epa-keys-select-method 'buffer > + "Method used to select keys. > +It can have two values: buffer or minibuffer. > +Can have two values: buffer or minibuffer.

The doc string could also be simplified. Like this, for example: Method used to select keys in `epa-select-keys'. If the value is \\='buffer, the default, keys are selected via a pop-up buffer. If the value is \\='minibuffer, keys are selected via the minibuffer instead, using `completing-read-multiple'. This avoids explaining the values twice (first what they are, then what they do), and also mentions the default value. Please also make sure comments, doc strings, and commit log messages leave two spaces between sentences, per our conventions. You had a couple of problems with that in the patch, which my suggested rephrasing fixed, but please keep this in mind in the future. > + :type '(choice (const :tag "Read keys from buffer" buffer) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This should probably say "...from a pop-up buffer". > (defun epa-select-keys (context prompt &optional names secret) > "Display a user's keyring and ask him to select keys. > @@ -459,7 +484,10 @@ epa-select-keys > the keys are listed. > If SECRET is non-nil, list secret keys instead of public keys." > (let ((keys (epg-list-keys context names secret))) > - (epa--select-keys prompt keys))) > + (pcase epa-keys-select-method > + ('buffer (epa--select-keys prompt keys)) > + ('minibuffer (epa--select-keys-in-minibuffer prompt keys)) > + (_ (error "Wrong method for key selection is specified"))))) Hmm... are you assuming users know how to input multiple strings from the minibuffer, in particular what is the value of crm-separator? the function epa--select-keys inserts some instructions into the pop-up buffer, but this new function you propose just shows the prompt and nothing else. Should it somehow help the user with the job of typing the keys at the prompt? Also, maybe instead of signaling an error for a value that's neither 'buffer' nor 'minibuffer', we should treat such values as 'buffer'? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
