Even if it were on by default and we used this method of disabling it, it would mean less of a footprint on the GUI for people who didn't use it, and that could be a good thing. If I am thinking this through correctly, it would mean that instead of a user variable 'hints_information', we would have a global mode that enabled the binding. Modes are stylistically nice. Better to use a stylesheet, alone or in a theme, than to use the element.style method on every minibuffer-input, I think, because it's a simple thing to register/unregister a stylesheet. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
