How about making the thing at point be accessible via M-n? By convention, M-n is supposed to insert _the default_. I do not want to make exceptions to that. We could conceivably make a second M-n insert another possible input that one might want. In effect, this would mean putting another element at the "front" of the history list. That could be a new convention that could be generalized to other things. Now is not the time to implement this, but I'm interested in hearing if there are any objections to the idea. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
