2. Displaying one line of warning message for each rebound key
sequence is really annoying. We should just highlight them in a
different face and display the message in a tooltip, and/or when
the text is clicked on. After all, there is already a big warning
message at the top of the tutorial page saying keys have been
rebound; no need to hammer it in.
I do not really understand what you are proposing here.
We considered many approaches here, and of them, this is the one I
like best. I am not inclined to change it again. However, if you give
a clear (not terse) description of an alternative, I'll consider it.
3. The tutorial-position saving mechanism is very opaque. When the
buffer is killed, the current position in the tutorial, without
prompting the user (it used to save into a directory ~/.emacstut,
but I moved this into .emacs.d to avoid homedir pollution).
However, this saving does not occur if the user does C-x C-c or C-x
C-s.
I agree it should be made to work on C-x C-c. That should be easy,
right?
There is no need for saving the buffer to do this, though. If you
kill the buffer, the position will be saved; if not, it need not be saved
because it is still in the buffer.
This feature is confusing enough that I'd propose removing it
entirely.
It is useful, and I don't want to remove it.
