I am referring to copying the prompt. This is routinely necessary when describing bugs or misfeatures involving the minibuffer. One possible compromise, assuming there is a useful use case for copying prompt text, would be to permit copying it with the mouse, but still inhibit moving the cursor into the prompt by command or keyboard. Would that be good enough? That would force one to use the mouse and assumes that one has a mouse available. I note too that, by design, commands like `C-a' do not move into the prompt. That is because of field properties. To see this, do C-x C-f, move into the prompt (sorry) and to C-u x = Sincerely, Luc. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
