i agree, i am not sure if that would not be confusing. how is guessing supposed to work? generally i have my doubts about computers doing guessing for me. > Also, the proposed feature would duplicate the use of kill rings (also > called "cut buffers", etc). Do you plan to remove the kill buffer, or > to violate orthogonality? the problem with the killring is that it is not searchable, and it is rather wierd to have to paste something before being able to access the killring. the killring would have to work more like the history to be usable. (also alt-<key> does not work on my system, so i can't even play with it until i have figured out another key (maybe i can use ctrl-r, the search key from bash. what's the killring rotating function? i can't find it with functions)) greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
