It is IMHO insufficient to mention this in NEWS and hope that users will look there for such recipes. NEWS is not the regular place to look for customization tips. In addition, this particular keymap is somewhat obscure (even experts such as Stefan make mistakes coming up with its correct name ;-). The User manual mentions it in one place, but doesn't really tell when it is used (it refers to ``permissive completion'', which is not in the index); that doesn't help users in finding what variable to hack and how. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
