It is useful to move point into the minibuffer prompt without changing default settings. But since this can be confusing for beginners, maybe it should be more difficult to move point into the prompt area by default? For example, to disable moving point into the prompt with C-b, but allow C-a at the beginning of the input area to move point to the beginning of the prompt.
I don't want to even consider something so complex. This is the sort of minor issue that can take up lots of everyone's time, but can't possibly be worth it. And in the mean time, the tasks that need to be done for the release are not getting done. Therefore, I will say right now that I will not consider anything along these lines. I ask everyone to drop this thread and not send any further mail about it. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
