From: Mike Kupfer <m.kupfer <at> acm.org> To: 22692 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#22692: 25.0.91; xref-find-definitions fails to prompt Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2016 17:02:03 -0800
If point is on a token that isn't defined in the current tags file, M-. gives me an error (look for "Cygwin" further down in this bug report). I expect to get a prompt. Ditto if point is at the "#" of "#include" or "#ifdef". More broadly, I think the default for xref-prompt-for-identifier is a usability regression. When I'm examining code, point is rarely at the token I want to find the definition for. So with the default behavior, I either have to move my hand to the mouse to set point and then move it back to the keyboard for the "." in M-., or I have to type in a bunch of navigation keystrokes, or I have to add a C-u prefix. Either way, the default behavior is getting in my way, not helping.
