I wanted to report that I too am seeing the problem with M-backspace
calling aquamacs-backward-kill-word in the minibuffer (also reported
here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=C5F7B751-5E21-4970-86C7-128154D4B0F5%40cs.bu.edu&forum_name=aquamacs-bugs
-- sorry, I can't figure out how to reply to the bug report directly
-- it's in read-only mode).
To reproduce:
- type C-x C-f to open file, and begin typing in path
- hit M-backspace (Option-Delete on mac keyboard) -- get error message
"The mark is not set now, so there is no region"
- happens every time, and after disabling .emacs, and all customizations
I tried the nightly build -- same problem. I also tried the emacs lisp
suggested by David (here:
http://email.esm.psu.edu/pipermail/macosx-emacs/2008-June/000594.html)
-- same problem.
Here's a backtrace of the error (fwiw):
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "The mark is not set now, so
there is no region")
call-interactively(aquamacs-backward-kill-word)
read-file-name("Find file: " nil "/Users/warren/" nil)
