Subject: Re: yank-pop error unnecessary and annoying

In-Reply-To: <AANLkTiksFguEsDoztEqAJYz0y9ttObZejm8Bu1EIch78@mail.gmail.com> (message from Geoff Gole on Tue, 15 Jun 2010 00:00:22 +0800)

    If called without a previous yank, yank-pop will produce an error
    message and do nothing useful. Why doesn't it just fall back on yank
    instead?

I am not sure this is a good idea -- it might lead to doing things
that the users don't expect.  This is the sort of thing that we
ought to ask a lot of people to try, so they can tell us whether
it is useful or confusing.
