This is what I've been wondering here, as well. So far, the downsides (Change to an almost subconscious muscle-memory-task, added friction) of this are pretty apparent - what even are the upsides of this?
- rjzzleep 3y agoAttracting new users for with the old behaviour is too complex maybe?
- dromtrund 3y agoIsn't named registers an advanced enough feature that it shouldn't be optimized for new users?
- samus 3y agoThe new behavior doesn't make me want to invest effort in learning registers. A notification in the status bar which register just got filled would be all I want.
- mahkoh 3y agoI believe Mozilla has been successful with a similar strategy.
- vcg3rd 3y agoI use Emacs, mostly for Org Mode, but not registers. I also understand perfectly the problem, and I also can't understand the upside. The only clue I see is in the polite objection the author quotes who writes "I agree it's safer..." But I don't understand safer in what way or why 1 person gets to decide safer=better=forced.
