emacs -Q ; e.g. Emacs 27.1
(defun diredp-mark-with-char (char &optional arg)
"Mark this line with CHAR.
With numeric prefix arg N, mark the next N lines."
(interactive
(progn (message nil)
(list (read-char "Mark this line with char: ")
(prefix-numeric-value current-prefix-arg))))
(let ((dired-marker-char char))
(dired-mark arg)))
(define-key dired-mode-map [menu-bar mark with-char]
'(menu-item
"Mark This with Char..." diredp-mark-with-char
:help "Mark this line with a character you type"))
Now try the same thing but with (message nil) commented out.
With (message nil), you see the prompt:
Mark this line with char:
Without (message nil), you see only this:
menu-bar mark with-char-
The command works OK, but a user will have no clue
about typing a char.
Clear enough? The change was introduced in Emacs 24,
AFAICT. Regression or improvement? Am I missing
something?
(You can forget about easy-menu for this bug report,
at least for now, please.)
