Subject: Delayed Typing Hints of Multi-Level Keyboard Shortcuts
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 05:12:37 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a7f3247a-1e32-44fc-994d-cf41fbe095c4@m44g2000hsc.googlegroups.com> (raw)
I suggest an interaction hint improvement for the Emacs developers
that I believe would be very clever for all Emacs users from beginners
to experts:
Why not to make emacs, I guess in minibuffer, after a short delay,
*hint* the continuation of *all* multi-level keyboard shortcuts/
bindings?
This delay would of course be configurable defaulting to I guess one
second (that is what C-h uses).
This would make Emacs much more *exploreable* and thereby more
attractive for new users.
An example of this kind of hinting is already available in the help
(prefix key C-h) so I guess it should not be too difficult to
implement this generalization.
Does something like this already exists in Icicles perhaps, Drew
Adams?
Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw
