But that's what the x-mouse-click-focus-ignore-position variable is for. And we also have focus-follows-mouse to have Emacs be able to do what it takes to give a frame focus. Anyway, I am complete against automatisms that get things right 70% of all the time immediately, with the user being unable to predict the behavior 90% of the time, so that he needs to check every time he uses the feature what actually happened. If there is a braindead consistent rule that gets things right even only 40% of the time, but does not require switching on the brain or crosschecking for correcting the thing efficiently about 60% of the time, this is preferable in my book. If I am talking to a person, I don't save time if he tries completing my sentences for me. And similar rules hold with computers, unless we are talking about seriously disabled users for which any correcting action takes lots of time. Only in that setting make complicated second-guessing rules any sense. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
