Re: Why using (push-mark) ?

Valdis> Or that they've noticed it, and don't mind. Yeah, what he said. I've always intuitively divided the motion (including search) commands into "short" moves, which have associated delete/kill commands, and "long" moves which don't, because they're inaccurate. The long moves thus must set/push the mark, so that the region can be adjusted, and region-oriented commands can be used. Pushing mark with the region active just seems consistent to me. For my usage patterns the example sequence C-SPC C-F C-F M-< most likely means that the C-SPC was pilot error (I set the mark in the wrong place), and so M-< "Does What I Mean, Not What I Said" when it pushes a new mark. Can't get more intuitive than that. :-) That said, I don't think it would be hard for me to adapt to the proposed behavior. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +1 (298) 53-5091
