Re: [emacs-wiki-discuss] Remembering: Thoughts on PlannerMode as an organizer

[Joe Corneli]

I'm reminded of some feature requests I added to the ratpoison wiki.

copy screen's :copy

   X windows is natively mouse-centric when it comes to copy and
   paste. Fix this problem with a patch to Xfree and corresponding
   code in ratpoison.

better text processing

   Continuing the above, better text-handling would be good in
   general. Just as an example, it would be cool to be able to
   search for a given string across every open window. Again, this
   would presumably require some code in xfree86. Maybe the feature
   already exists? This might be more of a StumpWM feature request
   than a ratpoison feature request. Or maybe it is an Emacs feature
   request. The idea, taken to its extreme, is that the user should,
   in some sense, never really have to leave Emacs at all (i.e. even
   when running a program like lynx or Mozilla).
