User input not always black #18

If unpushed text was always black, it would be visibly apparent whether a buffer has unpushed changes.

Emacs likes to extend the properties at point to new text typed after point. If we can disable this feature, it would indeed make changes more apparent.

I googled for a while, found nothing, posted to stackoverflow.

Well, I have determined that the following does not help:

(setq text-property-default-nonsticky '((foreground . t)))

lol

JeffreyBenjaminBrown commented 7 years ago

It's doable! Someone on Stackoverflow pointed to this. Each property's front- and rear-stickiness can be set. The easiest solution seems to be to make them all not sticky.

Yep. I saw that and tried what I mentioned. It didn't "stick". Possibly something to do with the scope of the variable.
