Severity: wishlist Consider doing this in emacs -Q M-: (setq sentence-end-double-space nil) RET Now put point at a paragraph like this Foo bar baz. Hello hello. Press M-q and end up with: Foo bar baz. Hello hello. However, in some cases the user will _not_ want this be reflowed, while still wanting to make the sentence commands navigate correctly even if there is only one space. For that purpose, I suggest adding a new user option `fill-sentence-end-double-space', which controls _only_ the behavior when refilling. That way you can customize sentence commands separately from fill commands. See the attached patch (still lacking NEWS and documentation changes). Thoughts?
