Package: elpa-debian-el
Version: 37.19.3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
When using apt-utils-show-package, the initial completion suggestion is taken
from word-at-point. However, if that word has read-only property set, then the
prompt completion itself is not modifiable and can only be appended to.
It would be better to ignore the properties of the word-at-point so that the
full prompt suggestion can be modified. Fortunately word-at-point has an
optional
argument to implement this. Suggested patch attached.
Best wishes
Mark
