24 ;; This defines a new global minor-mode `speed-of-thought-mode', which
25 ;; activates locally on any supported buffer. Currently, only
26 ;; `emacs-lisp-mode' buffers are supported.
28 ;; The mode is quite simple, and is composed of two parts:
32 ;; A large number of abbrevs which expand function
33 ;; initials to their name. A few examples:
35 ;; - wcb -> with-current-buffer
40 ;; However, these are defined in a way such that they ONLY expand in a
41 ;; place where you would use a function, so hitting SPC after "(r"
42 ;; expands to "(require '", but hitting SPC after "(delete-region r" will
43 ;; NOT expand the `r', because that's obviously not a function.
44 ;; Furtheromre, "#'r" will expand to "#'require" (note how it ommits that
45 ;; extra quote, since it would be useless here).
49 ;; It also defines 4 commands, which really fit into this "follow the
50 ;; thought-flow" way of writing. The bindings are as follows, I
51 ;; understand these don't fully adhere to conventions, and I'd
52 ;; appreaciate suggestions on better bindings.
54 ;; - M-RET :: Break line, and insert "()" with point in the middle.
55 ;; - C-RET :: Do `forward-up-list', then do M-RET.
57 ;; Hitting RET followed by a `(' was one of the most common key sequences
58 ;; for me while writing elisp, so giving it a quick-to-hit key was a
59 ;; significant improvement.
61 ;; - C-c f :: Find function under point. If it is not defined, create a
62 ;; definition for it below the current function and leave point inside.
63 ;; - C-c v :: Same, but for variable.
65 ;; With these commands, you just write your code as you think of it. Once
66 ;; you hit a "stop-point" of sorts in your tought flow, you hit `C-c f/v`
67 ;; on any undefined functions/variables, write their definitions, and hit
68 ;; `C-u C-SPC` to go back to the main function.
72 ;; With the above (assuming you use something like paredit or
73 ;; electric-pair-mode), if you write:
75 ;; ( w t b M-RET i SPC text
79 ;; (with-temp-buffer (insert text))
