I like the idea. The buttons could also be grouped according to whether they applies to field values or setting/saving.I suggest changing custom-reset-current and custom-reset-saved to *really* become "Show Current Value" and "Show Saved Value" (and custom-reset-2standard to "Show Standard Value"). That is, the buttons only change the values shown in the widgets, without setting them. The user explicitly calls "Set for Current Session" or "Save for Future Sessions" to do what he wants, which reduces the risk of confusion. That would mean two new whole buffer buttons and two new items in the State menu.Nope -- the point is to *replace* the "reset to *" buttons, so there will be no change in the number of buttons.
If this is not a big change then it would IMO be good to do it now, since it is now that Custom really is supposed to be used. Care must be taken for the strange "hidden" values of course.
However, an even better simplification is what I previously suggested: do away with the concept of "set for current session", and make Customize save automatically. I believe that many Custom users often use these buttons. I certainly do.
I too use "set for current session".
