Re: [PATCH] recover key ; edit record notes

I am a bit hesitant with this patch because it sticks out from the rest of the code. It is the only interactive command for editing a specific field of a record.

So I am tempted to say that anyone needing such a command (or any other command bbdb-record-edit-foo) can write it for him- or herself and put it in the init field. I'd be more interested in a more generic approach that works not only for a particular field (without moving point on that field as required by bbdb-edit-field). We already had some preliminary discussions about this on this list.

Do you mean that people should add code to their customization? It takes a bit of knowledge to figure it out. I'd be more interested in a more generic approach that works not only for a particular field (without moving point on that field as required by bbdb-edit-field). I am not sure I understand the specification. Would it be a function that prompts for a field? How would it make ; work again?

We already had some preliminary discussions about this on this list. I think I agree. When I switched to bbdb3, initially I missed that but not very much now.
