Ok, but I guess you agree with me that the current behavior can be a disconcerting for users, because the normally would want to work with the text they _see_, and know nothing about display strings.

If you wanted to search the word "see" to navigate between links then using TAB and S-TAB is an easier way to do the same. Maybe we should consider changing the default value of `Info-hide-note-references' to `hide' that will hide both verbs "*Note" and "See", because nowadays the users of web browsers understand that a blue underlined link implies a standard action to visit it, so no additional invitational verb is necessary.

Yes, I know. I was not trying to navigate between links (I realized it by a fluke). > Maybe we should consider changing the default value of > `Info-hide-note-references' to `hide' that will hide both verbs > "*Note" and "See", because nowadays the users of web browsers > understand that a blue underlined link implies a standard action > to visit it, so no additional invitational verb is necessary. But if you hide "See", the resulting wording will not make sense. IMO, the problem is that you are seeing text in the buffer (and therefore you think it belongs to the buffer), and yet you can't search for it. Besides, if you try to copy it and paste into another application, you will also get an unexpected result (the pasted text will be the hidden one). -- Dani Moncayo From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Wed Aug 24 07:35:30 2011 Received: (at 9349) by debbugs.gnu.org; 24 Aug 2011 11:35:30 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1QwBk2-00062l-6i for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 24 Aug 2011 07:35:30 -0400 Received: from mtaout21.012.net.il ([80.179.55.169]) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1QwBjz-00062b-D8 for 9349@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 24 Aug 2011 07:35:28 -0400 Received: from conversion-daemon.a-mtaout21.012.net.il by a-mtaout21.012.net.il (HyperSendmail v2007.08) id <0LQF00900K0MW400@a-mtaout21.012.net.il> for 9349@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:32:50 +0300 (IDT) Received: from HOME-C4E4A596F7 ([77.126.219.41]) by a-mtaout21.012.net.il (HyperSendmail v2007.08) with ESMTPA id <0LQF00975K2PMN50@a-mtaout21.012.net.il>; Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:32:50 +0300 (IDT) Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:32:53 +0300 From: Eli Zaretskii Subject: Re: bug#9349: 24.0.50; Weird text in info buffer In-reply-to: <87r54bm7uc.fsf@mail.jurta.org> X-012-Sender: halo1@inter.net.il To: Juri Linkov Message-id: <83vctngi3e.fsf@gnu.org> References: <87r54bm7uc.fsf@mail.jurta.org> X-Spam-Score: -2.1 (--) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 9349 Cc: 9349@debbugs.gnu.org, dmoncayo@gmail.com X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.11 Precedence: list Reply-To: Eli Zaretskii List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org X-Spam-Score: -2.1 (--) > From: Juri Linkov > Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:57:00 +0300 > Cc: 9349@debbugs.gnu.org > > Maybe we should consider changing the default value of > `Info-hide-note-references' to `hide' that will hide both verbs > "*Note" and "See" It would also be nice to have a feature whereby C-s could find matches in display strings, not only in buffer text.

This won't fix other problems in display strings like copy/paste. I think for Info it would be easier to avoid all these problems by modifying the text in the Info buffer (i.e. replacing "*Note" with "See") instead of putting display properties. This means detaching Info buffers from Info files, not using narrowing, using positions relative to the beginning of the node instead of the beginning of the Info file, etc. From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Wed Aug 24 12:01:42 2011 Received: (at 9349) by debbugs.gnu.org; 24 Aug 2011 16:01:42 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1QwFtd-0007T2-Sm for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:01:42 -0400 Received: from mtaout20.012.net.il ([80.179.55.166]) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1QwFtb-0007Sn-DB for 9349@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:01:40 -0400 Received: from conversion-daemon.a-mtaout20.012.net.il by a-mtaout20.012.net.il (HyperSendmail v2007.08) id <0LQF00900UGUXT00@a-mtaout20.012.net.il> for 9349@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 24 Aug 2011 18:58:25 +0300 (IDT) Received: from HOME-C4E4A596F7 ([77.126.219.41]) by a-mtaout20.012.net.il (HyperSendmail v2007.08) with ESMTPA id <0LQF00921WDA7GK0@a-mtaout20.012.net.il>; Wed, 24 Aug 2011 18:58:23 +0300 (IDT) Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 18:58:26 +0300 From: Eli Zaretskii Subject: Re: bug#9349: 24.0.50; Weird text in info buffer In-reply-to: <878vqjkk8k.fsf@mail.jurta.org> X-012-Sender: halo1@inter.net.il To: Juri Linkov Message-id: <83sjoqhkd9.fsf@gnu.org> References: <87r54bm7uc.fsf@mail.jurta.org> <83vctngi3e.fsf@gnu.org> <878vqjkk8k.fsf@mail.jurta.org> X-Spam-Score: -2.1 (--) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 9349 Cc: 9349@debbugs.gnu.org, dmoncayo@gmail.com X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.11 Precedence: list Reply-To: Eli Zaretskii List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org X-Spam-Score: -2.1 (--) > From: Juri Linkov > Cc: dmoncayo@gmail.com, 9349@debbugs.gnu.org > Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 18:32:59 +0300 > > > It would also be nice to have a feature whereby C-s could find matches > > in display strings, not only in buffer text. > > This won't fix other problems in display strings like copy/paste. Then let's add that feature as well.
