Subject: 23.0.60; remove C-c ` from rcirc track minor mode
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:12:01 +0000

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

rcirc track mode defines the following keys.

(define-key rcirc-track-minor-mode-map (kbd "C-c `") 'rcirc-next-active-buffer)
(define-key rcirc-track-minor-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-@") 'rcirc-next-active-buffer)
(define-key rcirc-track-minor-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-SPC") 'rcirc-next-active-buffer)

When this mode is enabled, those keys become GLOBAL and therefore can
easily step on bindings from other packages. One of them is AUCTeX.

I think it is entirely redundant to bind 'C-c `'. I'd propose this key
be removed when emacs is released. Otherwise it will confuse AUCTeX
users. Whenever there's an error, AUCTeX will ask users to type C-c ` to
get to the error, but instead this key will run
rcirc-next-active-buffer.
