Variable: package-menu-use-current-if-no-marks

package-menu-use-current-if-no-marks is a customizable variable defined in package.el.gz.

Value

t

Documentation

Whether x (package-menu-execute) in package menu operates on current package if none are marked.

If non-nil, and no packages are marked for installation or deletion, x (package-menu-execute) will operate on the current package at point, see package-menu-execute for details. The default is t. Set to nil to get back the original behavior of having package-menu-execute signal an error when no packages are marked for installation or deletion.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 29.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 29.1.
