- Not a bug, but perhaps nonoptimal:
-
- There appears to be no way to abort a tags-search once started, short
- perhaps of kill -9. In particular, ^G appears to have no effect.
-
- I'm working on a large application with several hundred source files,
- so tags-* functions are frequently a godsend, but it _can_ be a little
- irritating to find myself locked up for minutes at a time in a search
- I change my mind on. I'd not comment on such a thing normally, but
- GNU Emacs seems so nearly totally free of such infelicities ...
- *grin*.
-
- Keep up the good work, and many thanks to all of you.

- Jeff
