Yes, I think that makes sense (and as Stefan says, this should also work for the other char-reading functions that we've switched over). However, I do think it's likely that people who've switched this new user option on will find themselves in situations where they'll be going "but this time I do want to switch to another buffer". Would adding a new keystroke for switch-from-the-minibuffer-even-if-I-don't-usually-want-to make sense? Bound to some complicate keystroke people are unlikely to hit by mistake? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
