The previous message was incomplete, and sent by accident. I have a complete
recipe now. Both forms are meant to be evaluated C-M-x, and followed by
abort-recursive-edit, or keyboard-quit.
;; QUIT gets inserted, and a Quit message is displayed.
(condition-case error
(sleep-for 5)
(quit (goto-char (point-max))
(insert "QUIT")))
;; With abort-recursive-edit
;; QUIT doesn't get inserted. Quit isn't displayed in the mini-buffer
;; With keyboard-quit
;; QUIT doesn't get inserted. Quit is displayed in the mini-buffer
(condition-case error
(let ((inhibit-quit t))
(sleep-for 5))
(quit (goto-char (point-max))
(insert "QUIT")))
I understand why "QUIT" might not be displayed -- the signal is not guaranteed to be sent immediately after then end of (let). But, shouldn't abort-recursive-edit also cause Quit to be displayed in the minibuffer?
It so happens that I have abort-recursive-edit bound to C-g, and ((inhibit-quit t)) seems to discard all sent "C-g"s.
