Hi all,
I use emacs built on the master branch. The new behaviour of minibuffer
keeps tripping me, to the point where I feel like I am fighting with it, and
end up going into an M-g frenzy.
Those are typically difficult to reproduce, but I found an example where
I am at a loss as to what I am supposed to do to get the right
behaviour.
Let's say I have a buffer open, and I want to do a `search-forward' with
a string already in my kill ring, so C-s, I get into the minibuffer,
C-y, and it turns out that the string is not present in the buffer. At
that point my reflex is to try to edit the search string: arrow keys end
up moving the cursor in the buffer, and the command disappears from the
minibuffer; backspace deletes the whole search string.
Note that if the search is successful, backspace does behave as
expected.
Is there something I am missing in the configuration of minibuffer to
avoid this?
Thanks in advance,
Sébastien.
