I would just like... point to stop where it is then. Normally, delete-backward-char at the beginning of the buffer gives an error, "Beginning of buffer". It would seem strange if, when just after the prompt, it did nothing at all. In the minibuffer there is by default (emacs -Q) no color that tells where the prompt ends. The prompt uses the face `minibuffer-prompt'. Are you saying this does not work for you? It works for me. It is hard for me to understand the rest of your message. It seems to cover many topics and I do not see the relationship between them. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
