30 ;; This library provides a minor mode to display a ruler in the header
31 ;; line. It works only on Emacs 21.
33 ;; You can use the mouse to change the `fill-column' `comment-column',
34 ;; `goal-column', `window-margins' and `tab-stop-list' settings:
36 ;; [header-line (shift down-mouse-1)] set left margin to the ruler
37 ;; graduation where the mouse pointer is on.
39 ;; [header-line (shift down-mouse-3)] set right margin to the ruler
40 ;; graduation where the mouse pointer is on.
42 ;; [header-line down-mouse-2] set `fill-column', `comment-column' or
43 ;; `goal-column' to the ruler graduation with the mouse dragging.
45 ;; [header-line (control down-mouse-1)] add a tab stop to the ruler
46 ;; graduation where the mouse pointer is on.
48 ;; [header-line (control down-mouse-3)] remove the tab stop at the
49 ;; ruler graduation where the mouse pointer is on.
51 ;; [header-line (control down-mouse-2)] or M-x
52 ;; `ruler-mode-toggle-show-tab-stops' toggle showing and visually
53 ;; editing `tab-stop-list' setting. The `ruler-mode-show-tab-stops'
54 ;; option controls if the ruler shows tab stops by default.
56 ;; In the ruler the character `ruler-mode-current-column-char' shows
57 ;; the `current-column' location, `ruler-mode-fill-column-char' shows
58 ;; the `fill-column' location, `ruler-mode-comment-column-char' shows
59 ;; the `comment-column' location, `ruler-mode-goal-column-char' shows
60 ;; the `goal-column' and `ruler-mode-tab-stop-char' shows tab
61 ;; stop locations. `window-margins' areas are shown with a different
64 ;; It is also possible to customize the following characters:
66 ;; - `ruler-mode-margins-char' character used to pad margin areas
67 ;; (space by default).
68 ;; - `ruler-mode-basic-graduation-char' character used for basic
69 ;; graduations ('.' by default).
70 ;; - `ruler-mode-inter-graduation-char' character used for
71 ;; intermediate graduations ('!' by default).
73 ;; The following faces are customizable:
75 ;; - `ruler-mode-default-face' the ruler default face.
76 ;; - `ruler-mode-fill-column-face' the face used to highlight the
77 ;; `fill-column' character.
78 ;; - `ruler-mode-comment-column-face' the face used to highlight the
79 ;; `comment-column' character.
80 ;; - `ruler-mode-goal-column-face' the face used to highlight the
81 ;; `goal-column' character.
82 ;; - `ruler-mode-current-column-face' the face used to highlight the
83 ;; `current-column' character.
84 ;; - `ruler-mode-tab-stop-face' the face used to highlight tab stop
86 ;; - `ruler-mode-margins-face' the face used to highlight the
87 ;; `window-margins' areas.
88 ;; - `ruler-mode-column-number-face' the face used to highlight the
89 ;; number graduations.
91 ;; `ruler-mode-default-face' inherits from the built-in `default' face.
92 ;; All `ruler-mode' faces inerit from `ruler-mode-default-face'.
94 ;; WARNING: To keep ruler graduations aligned on text columns it is
95 ;; important to use the same font family and size for ruler and text
100 ;; To automatically display the ruler in specific major modes use:
