Re: Options menu names
From: Drew Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2006 21:45:41 -0800 The names of the Options menu items do not use parallel construction. Some are noun phrases, others are verb phrases. Verb phrases are generally clearer. But some of the menu items, such as Syntax Highlighting, follow widespread conventions that users expect. So I don't think we should change those. Oh really? What widespread conventions are those? Be specific, please. Sorry, I don't understand what you want me to say more than I already did. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug

That's an empty argument/explanation without saying what that authority is: what conventions are you referring to? What user-expecting convention does Syntax Highlighting follow? The issue is largely moot because there is no Syntax Highlighting entry in the Option menu since it was removed on 2005-11-14 after `global-font-lock-mode' had been turned on by default. FWIW, I agree with Eli. I think that syntax highlighting is what the feature is often called by Emacs users and potential Emacs users, and that changing the entry for the sake of uniformity isn't worthwhile. I suppose my impression that I have heard people use the phrase syntax highlighting often may be faulty. However, doing Google searches for syntax highlighting versus highlight syntax for either the web or usenet with or without Emacs as a qualifier suggests that the phrase syntax highlighting is used much more frequently than highlight syntax. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
RE: Added text makes `C-h b' wider than 70 chars
I've never seen a list of bindings what would not require vertical scrolling anyway, so I don't think adding to the vertical dimension would do any harm. That reasining is not valid. If the change makes only half as many commands fit in one screenful, that is a change for the worse. I don't see the change doing that, but I could be wrong. In practice, I've only seen this added to less than a dozen lines. And I've never seen `C-h b' output that is less than a full screen in height, as I said. I can't speak for what others see. Perhaps you mean that even if the window must be scrolled vertically anyway, this would be unacceptable because it would mean needing to scroll more. If so, then the question comes down to whether or not there are many such lines. Yes, if half the lines had this addition, then the vertical scrolling would be doubled. Anyway, your (shadowing) fix should do the job pretty well. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
