I like my interactive functions to generally use the word or region at point as a default. Is there a way to make the read-string mini buffer input to pre-select the default value? e.g consider (setq url (read-string (format "Url (%s) :" url) url nil url)) Here I would like to see at the input prompt Url (xyz): xyz with the default value of "xyz" already selected. In other words the same behaviour as when you tab into a populated entry field in most of applications.
