Instead of changing the default, please try to find a solution that will please as much the beginners as the seasoned Emacs users. > BTW the message "Text is readonly" is also confusing when "Inviolable" > is set.

Trying to delete a character at bob prints the message "Beginning of buffer". Perhaps it should print something like "Beginning of prompt input area" in the minibuffer. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
