;; Installation:
;; To get the functions in this package bound to keys, use
;; M-x iswitchb-mode or customize the option `iswitchb-mode'.
+;; Alternatively, add the following line to your .emacs:
+;; (iswitchb-mode 1)
;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers currently matching
;; the substring is displayed as you type. The list is ordered so
;;; Example
-;;If I have two buffers called "123456" and "123", with "123456" the
-;;most recent, when I use iswitchb, I first of all get presented with
-;;the list of all the buffers
+;; If I have two buffers called "123456" and "123", with "123456" the
+;; most recent, when I use iswitchb, I first of all get presented with
+;; the list of all the buffers
;;
;; iswitch {123456,123}
;;
;; The list in {} are the matching buffers, most recent first (buffers
;; visible in the current frame are put at the end of the list by
;; default). At any time I can select the item at the head of the
-;; list by pressing RET. I can also bring the put the first element
-;; at the end of the list by pressing C-s, or put the last element at
-;; the head of the list by pressing C-r. The item in [] indicates
-;; what can be added to my input by pressing TAB. In this case, I
-;; will get "3" added to my input. So, press TAB:
+;; list by pressing RET. I can also put the first element at the end
+;; of the list by pressing C-s, or put the last element at the head of
+;; the list by pressing C-r. The item in [] indicates what can be
+;; added to my input by pressing TAB. In this case, I will get "3"
+;; added to my input. So, press TAB:
;; iswitch 23{123456,123}
;;
;; At this point, I still have two matching buffers.
;; wanted the second in the list, I could press C-s to move it to the
;; top of the list and then RET to select it.
;;
-;;However, If I type 4, I only have one match left:
+;; However, if I type 4, I only have one match left:
;; iswitch 234[123456] [Matched]
;;
-;;Since there is only one matching buffer left, it is given in [] and we
-;;see the text [Matched] afterwards. I can now press TAB or RET to go
-;;to that buffer.
+;; Since there is only one matching buffer left, it is given in [] and we
+;; see the text [Matched] afterwards. I can now press TAB or RET to go
+;; to that buffer.
;;
;; If however, I now type "a":
;; iswitch 234a [No match]
;; If you find that the file you are after is not in a buffer, you can
;; press C-x C-f to immediately drop into find-file.

+;; (describe-function 'iswitchb)
;; Case matching: The case of strings when matching can be ignored or
;; used depending on the value of iswitchb-case (default is the same
;; for the normal buffer selection routine `read-buffer'. To use
;; iswitch for all buffer selections in Emacs, add:
;; (setq read-buffer-function 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
-;; (This variable should be present in Emacs 20.3+)
+;; (This variable was introduced in Emacs 20.3.)
;; XEmacs users can get the same behaviour by doing:
;; (defalias 'read-buffer 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
;; since `read-buffer' is defined in lisp.
+;; Using iswitchb for other completion tasks.
+
+;; Kin Cho (kin@neoscale.com) sent the following suggestion to use
+;; iswitchb for other completion tasks.
+;;
+;; (defun my-icompleting-read (prompt choices)
+;; "Use iswitch as a completing-read replacement to choose from
+;; choices. PROMPT is a string to prompt with. CHOICES is a list of
+;; strings to choose from."
+;; (let ((iswitchb-make-buflist-hook
+;; (lambda ()
+;; (setq iswitchb-temp-buflist choices))))
+;; (iswitchb-read-buffer prompt)))
+;;
+;; example:
+;; (my-icompleting-read "Which fruit? " '
+;; ("apple" "pineapple" "pear" "bananas" "oranges") )
+
+;; Kin Cho also suggested the following defun. Once you have a subset of
+;; matching buffers matching your current prompt, you can then press
+;; e.g. C-o to restrict matching to those buffers and clearing the prompt:
+;; (defun iswitchb-exclude-nonmatching()
+;; "Make iswitchb work on only the currently matching names."
+;; (interactive)
+;; (setq iswitchb-buflist iswitchb-matches)
+;; (setq iswitchb-rescan t)
+;; (delete-minibuffer-contents))
+;;
+;; (add-hook 'iswitchb-define-mode-map-hook
+;; '(lambda () (define-key
+;; iswitchb-mode-map "\C-o"
+;; 'iswitchb-exclude-nonmatching)))
+
+;; Other lisp packages extend iswitchb behaviour to other tasks. See
+;; ido.el (by Kim Storm) and mcomplete.el (Yuji Minejima).
+
+;; Window managers: Switching frames/focus follows mouse; Sawfish.
+
+;; If you switch to a buffer that is visible in another frame,
+;; iswitchb can switch focus to that frame. If your window manager
+;; uses "click to focus" policy for window selection, you should also
+;; set focus-follows-mouse to nil.
+
+;; iswitch functionality has also been implemented for switching
+;; between windows in the Sawfish window manager.
+
;; Regexp matching
;; There is limited provision for regexp matching within iswitchb,
For example, traditional behavior is not to list buffers whose names begin
with a space, for which the regexp is `^ '. See the source file for
example functions that filter buffernames."
