That's why when God created Fringes, Right *and* Left did He create them. Put it in the left fringe (except in Hebrew and Arabic, of course!)Yes! But creation is not finished and that is why he gave us the ability to choose, create. And actually I think using the left fringe for this would be a mistake. I think most human beeings expect to find line feeds to the right. Even though that is a human mistake it would be another not to take this into account.We already made the default scroll bar placement to the left because texts and text work tends to be left-justified.
Not on w32 I think.
Yes, it is contrary to the normal expectations, but as long as it has a noticeable benefit, that has not kept us from improving Emacs.
But this would also deviate from for example how OpenOffice shows similar things.
Though I can't make up my mind. More trying to collect the arguments.
