I would like to suggest a change to insert-buffer. As it stands now, the default buffer to be inserted is the current buffer. In almost 10 years of using Emacs, I have never wanted to insert a buffer into itself. With Gnu Emacs, I always need to type a buffer name to replace the default (current) one supplied. In the definition of insert-buffer in simple.el, I suggest replacing (interactive "*bInsert buffer: ") with (interactive "*BInsert buffer: ") I have tried this. It causes the previously selected buffer (other-buffer), instead of the current buffer, to be supplied as the default. 9 times out of 10, this is the behavior I want out of insert-buffer. If I am working on two buffers, the insertions that I typically make are from one buffer into the other. Please let me know what you think about this suggestion. Thanks, Dave
