Subject: Easy/Possible to globally change prompt strings of messages? e.g. changing find-file's prompt string from "Find file:" to "open file:" ?
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:08:49 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <90b92a22-d34c-4f7e-953e-74444f42e767@googlegroups.com> (raw)
Is it easy/possible to change the prompt strings of various Emacs commands?
For example, what Emacs calls find-file I think of as "opening a file"
and hence would like to change the prompt from "Find file:" to "open file:".
Are global changes like that possible/easy? Perhaps it would require
an Lisp style macro or something?
Thanks!
