27 ;; Latest changes
28 ;; ==============
29 ;;
30 ;; - *IMPORTANT* vcursor-key-bindings is now nil by default, to avoid
31 ;; side-effects when the package is loaded. This means no keys are
32 ;; bound by default. Use customize to change it to t to restore
33 ;; the old behaviour. (If you do it by hand in .emacs, it
34 ;; must come before vcursor is loaded.)
35 ;; - You can alter the main variables and the vcursor face via
36 ;; M-x customize: go to the Editing group and find Vcursor.
37 ;; - vcursor-auto-disable can now be 'copy (actually any value not nil
38 ;; or t), which means that copying from the vcursor will be turned
39 ;; off after any operation not involving the vcursor, but the
40 ;; vcursor itself will be left alone.
41 ;; - should now work unmodified under XEmacs
42 ;; - works on dumb terminals with Emacs 19.29 and later
43 ;; - new keymap vcursor-map for binding to a prefix key
44 ;; - vcursor-compare-windows substantially improved
45 ;; - vcursor-execute-{key,command} much better about using the
46 ;; right keymaps and arranging for the correct windows to be used
47 ;; - vcursor-window-funcall can call functions interactively
48 ;; - vcursor-interpret-input for special effects
49 ;;
50 ;; Introduction
51 ;; ============
52 ;;
53 ;; Virtual cursor commands. I got this idea from the old BBC micro.
54 ;; You need Emacs 19 or 20 and a window system for the best effects.
55 ;; For character terminals, at least Emacs 19.29 is required
56 ;; (special behaviour for the overlay property
57 ;; "before-string" must be implemented). Search for "dumb terminals"
58 ;; for more information.
59 ;;
60 ;; This is much easier to use than the instructions are to read.
61 ;; First, you need to let vcursor define some keys: setting
62 ;; vcursor-key-bindings to t before loading, or by customize, will
63 ;; define various keys with the prefix C-S. You'll have to read
64 ;; further if you don't want this. Then I suggest you simply load it
65 ;; and play around with holding down Ctrl and Shift and pressing up,
66 ;; down, left, right, tab, return, and see what happens. (Find a
67 ;; scratch buffer before using C-S-tab: that toggles copying.)
68 ;;
69 ;; Most of the functions described in this documentation are in
70 ;; parentheses so that if you have the package loaded you can type C-h
71 ;; f on top of them for help.
72 ;;
73 ;; Using the cursor keys with both control and shift held down moves
74 ;; around a virtual cursor, which is initially at point. When active,
75 ;; it appears with an underline through it to distinguish it from the
76 ;; normal cursor. You can then use one of the other commands to copy
77 ;; characters from the location of the virtual cursor to point. This
78 ;; is very useful, for example, when copying some previous text while
79 ;; making changes to it at the same time, since you never have to move
80 ;; the "real" cursor away from where you are inserting.
81 ;;
82 ;; The remaining default key bindings are based around the PC-type
83 ;; cluster found above the cursor keys on a lot of keyboards, the
84 ;; function keys which my limited knowledge of X terminals expects to
85 ;; find at the top. Some functions are duplicated in more obvious
86 ;; places for the X version.
87 ;;
88 ;; All the keybindings require you to hold down control and shift at
89 ;; once. I assumed this combination wouldn't be heavily bound by most
90 ;; people and that it would be easy to type with the left hand.
91 ;; Inevitably it will clash with some other packages, but I can't help
92 ;; that: an intuitive binding is a prerequisite here. See below for
93 ;; other alternatives (search for "Oemacs"). There is also a keymap
94 ;; which you can bind to a prefix key, which may give some more
95 ;; intuitive alternatives in some cases, see `The vcursor keymap' below.
96 ;;
97 ;; Holding down control and shift and pressing insert (vcursor-copy)
98 ;; copies one character from wherever the virtual cursor is to point;
99 ;; point and the virtual cursor advance in the separate and equal
100 ;; station to which... (etc.). M-C-S-return (vcursor-copy-line)
101 ;; copies to the end of the line instead of just one character,
102 ;; C-S-delete or C-S-remove (vcursor-copy-word) copies a word.
103 ;;
104 ;; A more general way of copying is to use C-S-tab, which is a toggle.
105 ;; In the "on" state, moving the virtual cursor will copy the
106 ;; moved-over text to the normal cursor position (including when going
107 ;; backwards, though each piece of text moved over is copied forwards:
108 ;; compare the behaviour of C-S-up and C-S-left).
109 ;;
110 ;; However, that's just a small part of the magic. If the virtual
111 ;; cursor goes off the display, it will be redisplayed in some other
112 ;; window. (See the function (vcursor-find-window) for details of how
113 ;; this window is chosen.) This gives you fingertip control over two
114 ;; windows at once.
115 ;;
116 ;; C-S-return (vcursor-disable) disables the virtual cursor, removing
117 ;; it so that it starts from point whenever you move it again --- note
118 ;; that simply moving the cursor and virtual cursor on top of one
119 ;; another does not have this effect.
120 ;;
121 ;; If you give C-S-return a positive prefix arg, it will also delete the
122 ;; window (unless it's the current one). Whenever the virtual cursor
123 ;; goes off-screen in its own window, point in that window is moved as
124 ;; well to restore it to view. (It's easier that way, that's why.
125 ;; However, point doesn't move unless the view in the window does, so
126 ;; it's not tied to the virtual cursor location.)
127 ;;
128 ;; You can also use C-S-return with a negative prefix argument which
129 ;; forces the vcursor to appear at point. This is particularly useful if
130 ;; you actually want to edit in another window but would like to
131 ;; remember the current cursor location for examining or copying from
132 ;; that buffer. (I just hit C-S-right C-S-left, but I'm a hopeless
133 ;; lowbrow.)
134 ;;
135 ;; There is also C-S-f6 (vcursor-other-window) which behaves like
136 ;; C-x o on the virtual rather than the real cursor, except that it
137 ;; will create another window if necessary.
138 ;;
139 ;; The keys C-S-prior (vcursor-scroll-down) and C-S-next
140 ;; (vcursor-scroll-up) (i.e., PageUp and PageDown) will scroll the
141 ;; virtual cursor window, appropriately chosen. They will always
142 ;; create a new window or take over an old one if necessary.
143 ;; Likewise, M-C-S-left and M-C-S-right move you to the
144 ;; beginning or end of a line, C-S-home and C-S-end the
145 ;; beginning or end of a buffer (these are also on M-C-S-up and
146 ;; M-C-S-down for those of us stuck with DEC keyboards).
147 ;;
148 ;; C-S-f7 (vcursor-goto) will take you to the vcursor position
149 ;; (swapping windows if it seems sensible) and (unless you give it a
150 ;; prefix argument) delete the virtual cursor, so this is useful for
151 ;; you to take over editing at the virtual cursor position. It is not
152 ;; an error if the virtual cursor is not active; it simply leaves you
153 ;; at point, because that is where the virtual cursor would start
154 ;; from.
155 ;;
156 ;; In a similar vein, M-C-S-tab (hope your left hand's flexible;
157 ;; C-S-select on DEC keyboards) (vcursor-swap-point) will take you to
158 ;; the virtual cursor position but simultaneously put the virtual
159 ;; cursor at the old cursor position. It is also supposed to ensure
160 ;; that both are visible.
161 ;;
162 ;; C-S-f8 (C-S-find on DEC keyboards) (vcursor-isearch-forward)
163 ;; allows you to do an isearch in another window. It works a bit like
164 ;; vcursor-scroll-*; it moves into another window, calls isearch
165 ;; there, and sets the virtual cursor position to the point found. In
166 ;; other words, it works just like isearch but with the virtual cursor
167 ;; instead of the real one (that's why it's called a "virtual
168 ;; cursor"). While you are isearching, you are editing in the virtual
169 ;; cursor window, but when you have finished you return to where you
170 ;; started. Note that once you are in isearch all the keys are normal
171 ;; --- use C-s, not C-S-f8, to search for the next occurrence.
172 ;;
173 ;; If you set the variable vcursor-auto-disable, then any command
174 ;; which does not involve moving or copying from the virtual cursor
175 ;; causes the virtual cursor to be disabled. If you set it to non-nil
176 ;; but not t, then the vcursor itself will remain active, but copying
177 ;; will be turned off, so that the next time the vcursor is moved no
178 ;; text is copied over. Experience shows that this setting is
179 ;; particularly useful. If you don't intend to use this, you can
180 ;; comment out the `add-hook' line at the bottom of this file. (This
181 ;; feature partially emulates the way the "copy" key on the BBC micro
182 ;; worked; actually, the copy cursor was homed when you hit return.
183 ;; This was in keeping with the line-by-line way of entering BASIC,
184 ;; but is less appropriate here.)
185 ;;
186 ;; vcursor-compare-windows is now a reliable adaption of
187 ;; compare-windows, which compares between point in the current buffer
188 ;; and the vcursor location in the other one. It is an error if
189 ;; vcursor is not set, however it will be brought up in another window
190 ;; if it is not currently visible. The prefix argument acts just like
191 ;; compare-windows, ignoring whitespace if set. (In versions before
192 ;; 1.6, this simply called compare-windows, which was much less likely
193 ;; to pick the two windows you wanted.)
194 ;;
195 ;; There is a way of moving the virtual cursor using ordinary
196 ;; commands: C-S-f9 (vcursor-execute-key) reads a key string,
197 ;; moves to the virtual cursor position, executes the command bound to
198 ;; the string, then returns to the original point. Thus C-S-f9 M-m
199 ;; moves the virtual cursor back to the first non-whitespace character
200 ;; on its line. As the command is called interactively all the usual
201 ;; ways of passing information to the command called, such as by a
202 ;; prefix argument, are available. This has many uses not necessarily
203 ;; related to moving the vcursor itself; it can do essentially
204 ;; everything that the \C-x 4 series of commands can do and a lot
205 ;; more. Note, however, that a new window is not used if the vcursor
206 ;; is visible in the current one: this can lead to some strange effects,
207 ;; but it is preferable to making a new window every time the vcursor
208 ;; is moved in this may.
209 ;;
210 ;; C-S-f10 (C-S-x) (vcursor-execute-command) behaves the same way but
211 ;; you enter the name of the command. To do anything really
212 ;; complicated, you are better off using M-C-S-tab
213 ;; (vcursor-swap-point), doing whatever it is, then calling M-C-S-tab
214 ;; again.
215 ;;
216 ;; If you want to add your own moving or copying functions you should
217 ;; be able to do this fairly easily with (vcursor-relative-move) and
218 ;; (vcursor-copy) together with (vcursor-get-char-count). If you want to
219 ;; do something in a different window, use (vcursor-window-funcall).
220 ;;
221 ;; Key bindings
222 ;; ============
223 ;;
224 ;; There is an alternative set of key bindings which will be used
225 ;; automatically for a PC if Oemacs is detected. This set uses separate
226 ;; control, shift and meta keys with function keys 1 to 10. In
227 ;; particular, movement keys are concentrated on f5 to f8 with (in
228 ;; increasing order of distance travelled) C-, M- and S- as prefixes.
229 ;; See the actual bindings below (search for C-f1). This is because the
230 ;; C-S- prefix is represented by weird key sequences and the set is
231 ;; incomplete; if you don't mind that, some hints are given in comments
232 ;; below.
233 ;;
234 ;; You can specify the usual or the Oemacs bindings by setting the
235 ;; variable vcursor-key-bindings to `xterm' or `oemacs'. You can also set
236 ;; it to nil, in which case vcursor will not make any key bindings
237 ;; and you can define your own. The default is t, which makes vcursor
238 ;; guess (it will use xterm unless it thinks Oemacs is running). The
239 ;; oemacs set will work on an X terminal with function keys, but the
240 ;; xterm set will not work under Oemacs.
241 ;;
242 ;; Usage on dumb terminals
243 ;; =======================
244 ;;
245 ;; If Emacs has set the variable window-system to nil, vcursor will
246 ;; assume that overlays cannot be displayed in a different face,
247 ;; and will instead use an string (the variable vcursor-string, by
248 ;; default "**>") to show its position. This was first implemented
249 ;; in Emacs 19.29. Unlike the old-fashioned overlay arrow (as used
250 ;; by debuggers), this appears between existing text, which can
251 ;; make it hard to read if you're not used to it. (This seemed the
252 ;; better option here.) This means moving the vcursor up and down is
253 ;; a very efficient way of locating it!
254 ;;
255 ;; Everything else should function as expected, but there is no way to
256 ;; get an easy key binding for the vcursor keys on a generic terminal.
257 ;; Consequently a special keymap is defined for you to use traditional
258 ;; methods: the keymap, however, is available on any terminal type.
259 ;;
260 ;; The vcursor keymap
261 ;; ==================
262 ;;
263 ;; In addition to any other bindings, vcursor-map contains key definitions
264 ;; for handling the vcursor. You should assign this to a prefix key
265 ;; in the usual way, e.g.
266 ;; (global-set-key [f14] vcursor-map)
267 ;; and also as usual \C-h in this map will list the key definitions, which
268 ;; are designed to be easy to remember.
269 ;;
270 ;; A special feature is provided by (vcursor-toggle-vcursor-map), bound
271 ;; to t in that keymap. With this in effect, the main keymap
272 ;; is overridden by the vcursor map, so keys like \C-p and so on
273 ;; move the vcursor instead. Remember how to turn it off (type t),
274 ;; or you are in serious trouble! Note that the cursor keys are not
275 ;; bound by default in this keymap and will continue to move the
276 ;; ordinary cursor.
277 ;;
278 ;; Interpreted input
279 ;; =================
280 ;;
281 ;; Just occasionally, you may want to pretend the strings copied from
282 ;; the vcursor position are to be interpreted as if you had typed them
283 ;; from the keyboard. Normally, they will just insert themselves anyway,
284 ;; but in some modes (Info and calc for example) typing ordinary characters
285 ;; does something else. To get this effect, set
286 ;; vcursor-interpret-input to t. This is normally not a good idea as
287 ;; interpreting input is very much slower than copying text.
288 ;;
289 ;; Un-features
290 ;; ===========
291 ;;
292 ;; - The vcursor will not move to point-max, since otherwise it would
293 ;; disappear. However, no error is flagged as point-max is a valid
294 ;; point in the buffer. Thus cursor right or down at the second
295 ;; last point in the file does not flag an error, which is inconsistent,
296 ;; and if copying is on the last character (typically newline) will
297 ;; be repeatedly copied. (I've tried making it flag an error
298 ;; instead and that's worse since often the vcursor is sent to
299 ;; point in some other window, which may be point-max.)
300 ;; - The vcursor widens when over a tab character or right at the
301 ;; end of the line. You're welcome to consider this a feature;
302 ;; it's just a part of how overlays work.
303 ;; - The vcursor obscures the real cursor. Creative use of overlays
304 ;; could cure this.
305 ;; - The vcursor does not remember its own previous positions. If
306 ;; you cycle it back into a window it was in before, it will be at
307 ;; point in that window. Often, that is where a previous recenter
308 ;; left point, not where the vcursor was before.
309 ;; (Note, however, that the vcursor does remember where it *is*,
310 ;; even if it's off-screen. This can also lead to surprises, but I
311 ;; don't think it's a bug.)
312 ;; - vcursor-window-funcall could perhaps be smarter about restoring
313 ;; the previous window state on failure.
314 ;; - The logic in vcursor-find-window is rather complicated and
315 ;; therefore bug-prone, though in practice it seems to work OK.
316 ;;
317 ;; Possible enhnacements:
318 ;; It would be easy to implement vcursor-push (save vcursor position
319 ;; as mark and deactivate) and vcursor-pop (deactivate vcursor and
320 ;; move to last pushed position) functions.
