The selection interface will need to be redesigned anyway to cope with multi-stage selection. Using the remember buffer to display the available templates makes sense, I also like the idea of using a tabular layout. I am still working on the remember rewrite. Unfortunately I haven't been able to devote as much time to it as I had wanted, so it's still not ready for wider testing. I think I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the refactoring and adding plist templates. I have auto-expanding minibuffers turned on (Emacs 22.2) and haven't noticed any problems with them, so I'd suggest Wes give them another try. > On Dec 31, 2008, at 4:39 PM, Wes Hardaker wrote: > > > My templates for remind are numerous.
