Replace S- key with /-

Re: TAB should move from field to field
If I could add a rider request to this, it would be great to have a single key command to copy the field contents to the kill ring (the way 'M' does now for the primary mail address). I often need to copy people's details to other places, and every time I do I wish I had this… I'd personally even prefer if fields work as sexp, so I can just use M-C-SPC to mark a few fields and then M-w to copy them. I.e. hooking into forward-sexp-function would suit my fingers.

I.e. hooking into forward-sexp-function would suit my fingers. Interesting idea - though admittedly I don't know yet how this could work. What would be a sexp in a BBDB buffer? How should a command such as forward-sexp treat data (such as email addresses and phone numbers) versus comments (such as field labels)? Also I would always prefer if copying of individual fields did not depend on whether a record is displayed in multi-line or in one-line format. So copying should be based on the raw data in the database (with possibly some base formatting), but not on the displayed data including the field labels, line breaks and indentation.

Maybe always copy the raw data (fields or the whole record) but provide yank functions insinuated into each known recipient? Maybe simply `bbdb-yank' could be the function? For example yanking into a fundamental buffer would paste the text version. Yanking into a lisp mode would paste in Lisp syntax. Yanking into Gnus/VM/etc. would paste a vcard. Just an idea, it could be useful though.

I wouldn't find it useful. I use this setup for clisp; however, clisp has separate lists for users and developers, and it is the developers' list which gets the digest. Roland should decide. indeed. I am sorry, you caught me here with something I do not know about. This is about the bbdb-info list receiving digests (every now and then) on what has been commited recently so that subscribers of bbdb-info are kept up-to-date? Well, I might not be the right person for deciding on such a question either in the sense that I do not know who / how many people with which interests have currently subscribed to bbdb-info. I suggest we could certainly give it a try. If people start complaining or we do not like this ourselves, I guess we can always change it.
