From a10a713becab1d83bb430b613bd8557f78003100 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marten Lienen Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2023 13:42:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Do not message the user on movement As you wrote in your excellent [blog post on eldoc](https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/seamlessly-merge-multiple-documentation-sources-eldoc), space in the echo area is a precious resource. Therefore, I think movement commands should not spam it with messages when they are doing exactly what they should. It also falls in line with the unix rule of silence that programs should not say anything when everything went as it should. --- smartscan.el | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/smartscan.el b/smartscan.el index 812a9c9..9892d3f 100644 --- a/smartscan.el +++ b/smartscan.el @@ -127,9 +127,6 @@ is valid."
