Obviously that's highly anecdotal, but I can imagine it being a > common problem. Oh yes, I'm quite aware of this problem, which is why I think this feature is very nice and that's also why I'm saying that I'm not necessarily opposed to enabling it by default. But I'd like to some opinion from people who've actually tried it. Many Emacs users can have very strong reactions to very small changes in the default behavior. The potential benefit justifies a bit of potential annoyance, and I think I can evaluate the potential benefit, but I don't think I can evaluate the potential annoyance yet. Stefan
