Re: Python mode failures with xemacs (Mats Lidell)

And if you can name a single person that has enabled them on XEmacs for more than two weeks, I have a bridge I want to sell him. tooltip-mode in Emacs is t by default. It takes a lot of fine-tuning functionality like that until it is not ever disruptive. I don't know whether it would still crash Windows ports of XEmacs hard like it used to do when we tried supporting tooltips on XEmacs with preview-latex (now AUCTeX). But even on X11, the functionality was unusable since it popped up tooltips that got in the way of editing (causing delays in typing response and stealing focus and keyboard events temporarily). It was proof-of-concept quality then, and I don't think that there has been much incentive to change that, so I would rather guess that not much has changed in that respect. Make their default setting "on" and see whether this motivates people enough to improve them to a degree where most people consider them unobtrusive. They are called something like balloon-help-mode IIRC. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
