Hi everyone, I hope that the persons who were first interested in this discussion, will re-jump to contribute and share their point of view. Eli, I came up with a “filter-based” ui idea, to implement the customizations,... I found much later an anstract explanaion of the idea itself: New implementation idea: ======================== A “filter-based” ui customizations (instead of q&a in the minibuffer): The main idea is to give user the ability to easily “filter” on customizations and thus quickly customize emacs for his needs (using “familiar” terms of course). This will also, be a nice way for user to have a quick and global overview of what emacs can do. That abstract description makes sense, as far as i t goes. So next, I'd like to understand the first level of detail. For instance, what are some keywords you have in mind -- and what do you envision them as including or excluding? I don't see that in the message. There is some sort of example, presented in Org format, but being a non-Org-user, I can't understand it that way. Would you please post a verbal description? I'd expect 20 or 30 lines would be enough to make it basically clear. Precise details aren't needed. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
