I’m trying to make a bit of leading text (the ` …: ` continued block prompt in python shell) skippable, so that cursor navigation passes right by without entering it. I used 'intangible at first and it works well. Noticing Stefan’s concerns about 'intangible, I tried to switch to 'cursor-intangible with `cursor-intangible-mode' enabled. But I encountered some strange issues:
- If '(rear-nonsticky t) is among the text properties, the `pre-redisplay-functions' do not apparently get called, and so 'cursor-intangible fails to function.
- On MacOS ports, enabling `cursor-intangible-mode' causes the frame to aggressively regrab focus and re-raise when it loses focus. This makes it unusable.
I expect the latter is a bug, but perhaps the former is expected? Thanks. |
