> Ding implies an error
No, it does not. Read its doc.
And read about particular uses of it, in the Elisp manual. Each
explicit mention of a use makes clear that it is NOT about signaling
an error.
Node `Key Lookup':
"it rings the bell (by calling `ding') but does not signal an error."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Node `Functions for Key Lookup':
"It calls `ding', but does not cause an error."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Node `Beeping' tells you clearly what `ding' *is* for:
"to attract the user's attention."
It also makes clear that one does not want to overuse it: attracting
the user's attention too much defeats the purpose and can be annoying.
> I rather have a silent lack of feedback than a lot of beeping.
Bind `ring-bell-function' wherever you like to whatever you like,
including to `ignore'.
