24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;; Defines the mode `file-name-shadow-mode'.
28 ;; The `read-file-name' function passes its result through
29 ;; `substitute-in-file-name', so any part of the string preceding
30 ;; multiple slashes (or a drive indicator on MS-DOS/MS-Windows) is
31 ;; ignored.
33 ;; If `file-name-shadow-mode' is active, any part of the
34 ;; minibuffer text that would be ignored because of this is given the
35 ;; properties in `file-name-shadow-properties', which may
36 ;; be used to make the ignored text invisible, dim, etc.
