Easter Eggs, hidden commands and the like violate the GUI principle of 'Least Surprise'.

No hint, no 'Completion' tab, nada! > Alas, newbies might have trouble with typing completion. > Typing completion should 'just' work as soon as the first letter is entered (the same way it works when characters are deleted from the end of the entered string). If there are too many hits, just show a message in the 'Completion' tab (i.e. 'At least xy hits...'). Alternatively show a message just above the Commandbox (aka Minibuffer), something like 'Enter first characters of you command and hit Tab'). Or show this message in the 'Completion' tab before anything has been entered. BTW: The GUI distance between the Commandbox and the 'Completion' tab is far too big; it requires too much eye movement (= loss of focus). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
