diff-default-read-only is a variable defined in ‘diff-mode.el’.
Its value is nil
If non-nil, ‘diff-mode’ buffers default to being read-only.

That's funny, it seems they are already read-only, without setting this
variable. Maybe this variable can be retired.

The *compilation* buffer of M-x compile is also read-only. Good.

But how about *Shell Command Output*, and errors buffers, they should be
read-only by default too.

Why? Because tons of times we realize for the last half hour we have
been editing our program's output buffer instead of the source code.

(Often due to using sh -x or make (without -s) which echo command
lines.)

emacs-version "29.3"

It's very useful to have them editable sometimes.

No, it is very useful to be able to edit them.

It would make sense to have a customisation variable to change it.

I cannot reproduce this.  E.g., visiting a file that turned on
diff-mode doesn't make the buffer read-only.  So please show a recipe,
preferably starting from "emacs -Q", where a diff-mode buffer is
read-only without changing this variable from its default value of
nil.

A simple "C-x C-q" should set you up, in those cases.

Emacs cannot possibly cater to each and every use case out there.
Sometimes you need to do stuff manually, if your case is specialized
to require that.

All I know is I use
= runs the command dired-diff
Also in the "rare case that one needs to use the washroom while driving the car,"
instead of driving around with the doors open all day long, and seat belts off..."
it should be they who are forced to use C-x C-q to make those buffers read-write.

In what mode, please?

I asked for a complete reproduction recipe, so could you please
provide such a recipe?

Thanks.  This is because the command 'diff' unconditionally puts the
buffer into read-only mode.

Stefan, this seems to be due to your changes in b2e4481906ec: you
added '(setq buffer-read-only t)' which was not there before (in fact,
the code before those changes did the opposite:

--- a/lisp/vc/diff.el
+++ b/lisp/vc/diff.el
@@ -131,37 +147,32 @@
-        (thisdir default-directory)
-        proc)
-    (save-excursion
-      (display-buffer buf)
-      (set-buffer buf)
-      (setq buffer-read-only nil)
+    (with-current-buffer buf
+      (setq buffer-read-only t)

So I suggest to remove the setting of buffer-read-only there'
diff-mode will do TRT according to diff-default-read-only.

That's a separate issue, and I don't agree that *Shell Command Output*
should be in View mode by default.  The space will only be inserted if
you mistakenly think the buffer is in View mode, and likewise with
'q'.

There is no right or wrong answer here.  The current design reflects the
behavior I think makes more sense, but that's largely just my
personal preference.  The above patch was no mistake.

But if we install the above patch, then *vc-diff* will suddenly not be
read-only any more, so we should arguably change
`diff-default-read-only` at the same time, which will in turn cause
another behavior change when people open a `.diff` file.

If your personal preference is that diff-mode buffers should be
read-only, then you (and those who agree with you) should customize
diff-default-read-only to a non-nil value.  What we have now is a
mess: some cases which invoke diff-mode behave according to
diff-default-read-only, while others behave differently
unconditionally.

However, if by "no mistake" you mean something else, please elaborate
why it was no mistake.

Why should *vc-diff* be read-only regardless of
diff-default-read-only?  And why visiting a .diff file is different in
this regard?

I got an idea: how about a pair of variables

"buffers-that-should-be-read-only-regexp",
"buffers-that-should-not-be-read-only-regexp",

which would be shipped with reasonable defaults...

And then the user can tweak them to their own tastes.

I've been wondering the same and I don't have a good answer.
In practice, I edit diffs much more often when they're in a file than when
they're in *vc-diff*, but it's far from clear to me why that is the case.

Does it mean you will not be terribly mad if I remove the read-only
setting from "M-x diff", and let it behave as every other client of
diff-mode?

I don't have a strong opinion on this, no (diff-mode buffers are
among those where I use `C-x C-q` most frequently).

`C-x v =` is an important "client of diff-mode" (arguably more
important than `M-x diff`), and it does make `*vc-diff*` read-only,
so if you want to change `M-x diff`, I suggest you change `C-x v =` at
the same time.

So the two most important clients of diff-mode unconditionally make
the buffer read-only, but we have a diff-mode option that by default
leaves the buffer writable?  This makes absolutely no sense to me!
