Please, take a look at CONTRIBUTING.md (I'm referring to the commit message format in particular).

Another thing - I can imagine some people actually like the current behaviour, so I'd suggest a config option to toggle between the two.

I'd suggest a config option to toggle between the two.

That might be tricky in light of the proposed other-window prefix usage for the jump-to-var(#1014).

OK. sorry about that.

I thought about an option to turn it on and off, but that does prevent more useful prefix behaviors like jump to var other window. This does cause the behavior to match that of many other emacs packages, where the current behavior is mostly frustrating. Hitting return once is a lot easier than typing C-u prefix after figuring out that is what you need to do.

Fair enough. Let's see the feedback we'll get. For now just update the commits and mention this in the changelog.

What is your preference for connecting the changelog, the issue and the pull request together?

@EricGebhart I opened an issue about jump-to-var-other-window the other day, here. It'd be awesome if you had the time to fix this! I'd do it myself but I'm busy working on classloader isolation for clj-refactor atm.

@expez That one is on my radar. I'm in the middle of all that code anyway. Learning my way around...

[Fix #699] Changed interactive doc functions to give prompt. -> [Fix #699] Prompt for symbol in interactive doc functions (use present tense, no . in commit message title)

@EricGebhart Commit message titles are titles (meaning they should not end with .). :-)

I'm sorry if I sound picky, but I care about every detail.

It's ok. All the periods are gone. I'll be sure to leave them off in the future.

👍

Please revert this commit, for the reasons I give in the thread in #1014

@bbatsov, since you said above "Let's see the feedback we'll get" - I second @malcolmsparks . Sorry, but I really hate the new behavior. Having to type RET after every M-. is very clunky.

I also am finding this rather annoying. I understand there are arguments for this behaviour, so I would settle for the ability to configure it.

You can now set cider-prompt-for-symbol to nil to disable the prompting behaviour. Passing a prefix argument to any of the source/doc lookup commands will make them do the opposite of that config option, if you wish to override it for just one command.
