I don't have plans personally to work on the tabs, and AFAIK this is the first report of this problem. If Andy Piper, the creator of the tabs, has time, maybe he'll fix it. I won't guarantee it will get in to the 21.4 series, though. Ilpo> 3) Separate from this, is there a way to have keybindings Ilpo> for those tabs? I don't think so. Strictly speaking they are not part of a buffer, and so cannot have keys (or mouse buttons) bound to them in normal Emacs ways. It should be possible to enhance them in this way but such enhancements would require substantial surgery to the widget library, and would be complex because of the way its implmented. Surely not for 21.4. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
