I like using dired to view files in one window, while doing my usual editing in another window. But as long as dired is running, it has goal-column set to 0. This sometimes takes me be surprise - I briefly view one file, and jump into editing again, without exiting the view-ing, and suddenly my arrow keys work differently. I don't like this "feature" and propose that either: view.el doesn't set goal column or goal-column would be local to the buffer (although I'm not sure who would want to have different goal-columns in different buffers). By the way, this is in emacs 18.55. Kjartan (stefan@cs.cornell.edu)
