Yes, I suppose it would be, and I'm not sure I'd want to defend Emacs's behavior too strongly. But Emacs is, I would claim, primarily a keyboard entry based editor, so the emphasis is on a single point of data entry rather than visual consistency. So I'm not too distressed by the inconsistency with typical windowing systems, although it wouldn't surprise me if the reasons for being that way are primarily historical. There are some weird and wonderful things going on in the minibuffer, so I wouldn't want to speculate on whether it would be reasonable to approach them differently. -don _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
