Hi,
I've two problems/questions:
· Is it possible to make the mark (the text between the point where you
pressed ^@ and the editing point) visible? I thought of something like
printing the text in inverse mode (\e[7m).
· To iterate through a list of menu completions I use
reverse-menu-completion. But if no menu completion startet r-m-c starts
at the begin of the list not the end.
% ls M<key for r-m-c>
Mail/ Mnt/
% ls Mail/
but I expected
% ls Mnt/
What I doing wrong?
Bye, Jörg.

This is tricky. Putting display information between editing characters is
something it would be very nice to do for several reasons, but it would
involve a lot of work on the interface to the screen refresh code. The
problem is that what is output isn't a stream of bytes, it's more like a
grid of characters corresponding to what's on the screen, so we need a way
of supplying characters that won't be printed.
You could imagine a hack where you identified typical termcap sequences
like the above and output them separately without updating the display but
that's horribly non portable and I don't like it at all; what's more it's,
internally at least, half way to a proper solution.

This looks very much like a bug.
Luckily, there's a simple quick fix, and I have very little interest in
looking for a difficult slow fix...
