Subject: Why does insert-register leave point BEFORE the inserted text?
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 12:59:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bp8r52it1z6.fsf@usca1uw-JZWWPM1.sanmateo.corp.akamai.com> (raw)
This is just a very minor issue that bugged me off and on for a long
time...
As the subject says, why does the insert-register command leave point
before the inserted text, rather than after, which would seem more
natural?
Today I finally got around to writing some advice for insert-register
which inverts the sense of the prefix argument, but I have trouble
understanding how the default behavior could ever have been considered
more useful.
