24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;; "Electric" has been used in Emacs to refer to different things.
27 ;; Among them:
29 ;; - electric modes and buffers: modes that typically pop-up in a modal kind of
30 ;; way a transient buffer that automatically disappears as soon as the user
31 ;; is done with it.
33 ;; - electric keys: self inserting keys which additionally perform some side
34 ;; operation which happens to be often convenient at that time. Examples of
35 ;; such side operations are: reindenting code, inserting a newline,
36 ;; ... auto-fill-mode and abbrev-mode can be considered as built-in forms of
37 ;; electric key behavior.
39 ;;; Code:
41 (eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
43 ;; This loop is the guts for non-standard modes which retain control
44 ;; until some event occurs. It is a `do-forever', the only way out is
45 ;; to throw. It assumes that you have set up the keymap, window, and
46 ;; everything else: all it does is read commands and execute them -
47 ;; providing error messages should one occur (if there is no loop
48 ;; function - which see). The required argument is a tag which should
49 ;; expect a value of nil if the user decides to punt. The second
50 ;; argument is the prompt to be used: if nil, use "->", if 'noprompt,
51 ;; don't use a prompt, if a string, use that string as prompt, and if
52 ;; a function of no variable, it will be evaluated in every iteration
53 ;; of the loop and its return value, which can be nil, 'noprompt or a
54 ;; string, will be used as prompt. Given third argument non-nil, it
55 ;; INHIBITS quitting unless the user types C-g at toplevel. This is
56 ;; so user can do things like C-u C-g and not get thrown out. Fourth
57 ;; argument, if non-nil, should be a function of two arguments which
58 ;; is called after every command is executed. The fifth argument, if
59 ;; provided, is the state variable for the function. If the
60 ;; loop-function gets an error, the loop will abort WITHOUT throwing
61 ;; (moral: use unwind-protect around call to this function for any
62 ;; critical stuff). The second argument for the loop function is the
63 ;; conditions for any error that occurred or nil if none.
