Subject: Re: The minibuffer vs. Dialog Boxes (Re: Making XEmacs be more up-to-date)
Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2002 11:27:40 -0600 (MDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a9sauo$r6c$2@main.gmane.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <rjk7r3zzk4.fsf@zuse.dina.kvl.dk> (message from Per Abrahamsen on Fri, 19 Apr 2002 13:40:43 +0200)
2. Add some strong visual clue (color, animation, whatever) when focus
change to the minibuffer.
Is the colored prompt that appears enough of a visual cue?
If not, what else would you suggest?
3. Maybe even have a dialog box (!) pointing to the minibuffer when
activating a menu entry that traditionally pop up a dialog. The
box should have an "OK" and a "Don't pop up next time" button.
That would not be hard to implement with the existing facilities.
1. Put the minibuffer in the top by default.
Would someone like to do this? Note that there used to be
some things in update_screen that assumed the minibuffer
was at the bottom.
