I don't agree. Only in Ediff-mode they are annoying, otherwise I find them just too big ;-)
If a substantial number of people find them annoying on the text in Ediff mode, we could do a number of things: 1. Eliminate the help-echo properties on parts of diff hunks in Ediff mode. 2. Set it up so that they only appear for the first 4 times that the mouse is above such text in any given Ediff mode buffer. (That way, they would be helpful, but once the user has seen them a few times, they will get out of the way.) #2 would require some C code, but it won't be very hard C code, so that is not a major reason not to do this. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
