m-p used for previous-input #123

Closed jave closed 6 years ago

jave commented 6 years ago

This is just a small documentation nit. m-p is used for previous-input in shell-like buffers, so the binding is not always free. It might surprise new users trying out the library.

I see. Indeed, M-p is slightly problematic; I don't use this binding myself as well.

On the other hand, it's still better ergonomically than C-x o. And I think if I don't suggest any rebind the users will go for C-x o.

I'm open to suggestions, if you can propose something that's better than M-p or C-x o. There aren't many unbound two-key chords.

I think it will suffice to say that M-p is used in shell buffers etc, then the user will need to solve the problem by herself.

I like to use C-RET, but that doesnt work in terminals withouth difficulty, so it sucks as well. M-o is okay as well, because there some font functionality there I dont use. Some people like using key-chord.el to get more possibilities.
