Re: Inhibit help echo while in the minibuffer

This is something that has annoyed me for a long time too. Another annoying thing is that sometimes, an active minibuffer (with a y-or-n question for instance) can be hidden by a message in the echo area. You have to move the leave and re-enter the frame with the mouse to see the minibuffer again. This makes me think that I would prefer to have separate zones for the minibuffer and the echo area. Along with the same lines, what I'd like to have is one minibuffer per frame (not following the focus) that could be used simultaneously without requiring recursion. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.
