33 ;; This file defines a general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer package
34 ;; (comint mode). The idea is that you can build specific process-in-a-buffer
35 ;; modes on top of comint mode -- e.g., lisp, shell, scheme, T, soar, ....
36 ;; This way, all these specific packages share a common base functionality,
37 ;; and a common set of bindings, which makes them easier to use (and
38 ;; saves code, implementation time, etc., etc.).
39
40 ;; Several packages are already defined using comint mode:
41 ;; - shell.el defines a shell-in-a-buffer mode.
42 ;; - cmulisp.el defines a simple lisp-in-a-buffer mode.
43 ;;
44 ;; - The file cmuscheme.el defines a scheme-in-a-buffer mode.
45 ;; - The file tea.el tunes scheme and inferior-scheme modes for T.
46 ;; - The file soar.el tunes lisp and inferior-lisp modes for Soar.
47 ;; - cmutex.el defines tex and latex modes that invoke tex, latex, bibtex,
48 ;; previewers, and printers from within emacs.
49 ;; - background.el allows csh-like job control inside emacs.
50 ;; It is pretty easy to make new derived modes for other processes.
51
52 ;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
53 ;; the hooks available for customising it, see the comments below.
54 ;; For further information on the standard derived modes (shell,
55 ;; inferior-lisp, inferior-scheme, ...), see the relevant source files.
56
57 ;; For hints on converting existing process modes (e.g., tex-mode,
58 ;; background, dbx, gdb, kermit, prolog, telnet) to use comint-mode
59 ;; instead of shell-mode, see the notes at the end of this file.

329 This mode is customised to create major modes such as Inferior Lisp
330 mode, Shell mode, etc. This can be done by setting the hooks
331 `comint-input-filter-functions', `comint-input-filter', `comint-input-sender'
332 and `comint-get-old-input' to appropriate functions, and the variable
333 `comint-prompt-regexp' to the appropriate regular expression.

335 An input history is maintained of size `comint-input-ring-size', and
336 can be accessed with the commands \\[comint-next-input], \\[comint-previous-input], and \\[comint-dynamic-list-input-ring].
337 Input ring history expansion can be achieved with the commands
338 \\[comint-replace-by-expanded-history] or \\[comint-magic-space].
339 Input ring expansion is controlled by the variable `comint-input-autoexpand',
340 and addition is controlled by the variable `comint-input-ignoredups'.
341
342 Commands with no default key bindings include `send-invisible',
343 `comint-dynamic-complete', `comint-dynamic-list-filename-completions', and
344 `comint-magic-space'.

346 Input to, and output from, the subprocess can cause the window to scroll to
347 the end of the buffer. See variables `comint-output-filter-functions',
348 `comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input', and `comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output'.

2125 ;; where needed. However, there are `third-party' packages out there that
2126 ;; still use the old shell mode. Here's a guide to conversion.
2127 ;;
2128 ;; Renaming variables
2129 ;; Most of the work is renaming variables and functions. These are the common
2130 ;; ones:
2131 ;; Local variables:
2132 ;; last-input-start comint-last-input-start
2133 ;; last-input-end comint-last-input-end
2134 ;; shell-prompt-pattern comint-prompt-regexp
2135 ;; shell-set-directory-error-hook <no equivalent>
2136 ;; Miscellaneous:
2137 ;; shell-set-directory <unnecessary>
2138 ;; shell-mode-map comint-mode-map
2139 ;; Commands:
2140 ;; shell-send-input comint-send-input
2141 ;; shell-send-eof comint-delchar-or-maybe-eof
2142 ;; kill-shell-input comint-kill-input
2143 ;; interrupt-shell-subjob comint-interrupt-subjob
2144 ;; stop-shell-subjob comint-stop-subjob
2145 ;; quit-shell-subjob comint-quit-subjob
2146 ;; kill-shell-subjob comint-kill-subjob
2147 ;; kill-output-from-shell comint-kill-output
2148 ;; show-output-from-shell comint-show-output
2149 ;; copy-last-shell-input Use comint-previous-input/comint-next-input
2150 ;;
2151 ;; SHELL-SET-DIRECTORY is gone, its functionality taken over by
2152 ;; SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER, the shell mode's comint-input-filter-functions.
2153 ;; Comint mode does not provide functionality equivalent to
2154 ;; shell-set-directory-error-hook; it is gone.
2155 ;;
2156 ;; comint-last-input-start is provided for modes which want to munge
2157 ;; the buffer after input is sent, perhaps because the inferior
2158 ;; insists on echoing the input. The LAST-INPUT-START variable in
2159 ;; the old shell package was used to implement a history mechanism,
2160 ;; but you should think twice before using comint-last-input-start
2161 ;; for this; the input history ring often does the job better.
2162 ;;
2163 ;; If you are implementing some process-in-a-buffer mode, called foo-mode, do
2164 ;; *not* create the comint-mode local variables in your foo-mode function.
2165 ;; This is not modular. Instead, call comint-mode, and let *it* create the
2166 ;; necessary comint-specific local variables. Then create the
2167 ;; foo-mode-specific local variables in foo-mode. Set the buffer's keymap to
2168 ;; be foo-mode-map, and its mode to be foo-mode. Set the comint-mode hooks
2169 ;; (comint-{prompt-regexp, input-filter, input-filter-functions,
2170 ;; get-old-input) that need to be different from the defaults. Call
2171 ;; foo-mode-hook, and you're done. Don't run the comint-mode hook yourself;
2172 ;; comint-mode will take care of it. The following example, from shell.el,
2173 ;; is typical:
