33 ;; `Follow mode' is a minor mode for Emacs 19 and XEmacs which
34 ;; combines windows into one tall virtual window.
36 ;; The feeling of a "virtual window" has been accomplished by the use
37 ;; of two major techniques:
39 ;; * The windows always displays adjacent sections of the buffer.
40 ;; This means that whenever one window is moved, all the
41 ;; others will follow. (Hence the name Follow Mode.)
43 ;; * Should the point (cursor) end up outside a window, another
44 ;; window displaying that point is selected, if possible. This
45 ;; makes it possible to walk between windows using normal cursor
48 ;; Follow mode comes to its prime when used on a large screen and two
49 ;; side-by-side window are used. The user can, with the help of Follow
50 ;; mode, use two full-height windows as though they would have been
51 ;; one. Imagine yourself editing a large function, or section of text,
52 ;; and beeing able to use 144 lines instead of the normal 72... (your
55 ;; The latest version, and a demonstration, are avaiable at:
57 ;; ftp://ftp.csd.uu.se/pub/users/andersl/emacs/follow.el
58 ;; http://www.csd.uu.se/~andersl/follow.shtml
60 ;; `Follow mode' can be used together with Emacs 19 and XEmacs.
61 ;; It has been tested together with Emacs 19.27, 19.28, 19.29,
62 ;; 19.30, XEmacs 19.12, and 19.13.
65 ;; To test this package, make sure `follow' is loaded, or will be
66 ;; autoloaded when activated (see below). Then do the following:
68 ;; * Find your favorite file (preferably a long one.)
70 ;; * Resize Emacs so that it will be wide enough for two full sized
71 ;; columns. Delete the other windows and split with the commands
74 ;; * Give the command:
75 ;; M-x follow-mode <RETURN>
77 ;; * Now the display should look something like (assuming the text "71"
80 ;; +----------+----------+
87 ;; +----------+----------+
89 ;; As you can see, the right-hand window starts at line 73, the line
90 ;; immediately below the end of the left-hand window. As long as
91 ;; `follow-mode' is active, the two windows will follow eachother!
93 ;; * Play around and enjoy! Scroll one window and watch the other.
94 ;; Jump to the beginning or end. Press `Cursor down' at the last
95 ;; line of the left-hand window. Enter new lines into the
96 ;; text. Enter long lines spanning several lines, or several
99 ;; * Should you find `Follow' mode annoying, just type
100 ;; M-x follow-mode <RETURN>
106 ;; To fully install this, add this file to your Emacs Lisp directory and
107 ;; compile it with M-x byte-compile-file. Then add the following to the
108 ;; appropriate init file (normally your `~/.emacs' file):
110 ;; (autoload 'follow-mode "follow"
111 ;; "Synchronize windows showing the same buffer, minor mode." t)
114 ;; The command `follow-delete-other-windows-and-split' maximises the
115 ;; visible area of the current buffer.
117 ;; I recommend adding it, and `follow-mode', to hotkeys in the global
118 ;; key map. To do so, add the following lines (replacing `[f7]' and
119 ;; `[f8]' with your favorite keys) to the init file:
121 ;; (autoload 'follow-mode "follow"
122 ;; "Synchronize windows showing the same buffer, minor mode." t)
123 ;; (global-set-key [f8] 'follow-mode)
125 ;; (autoload 'follow-delete-other-windows-and-split "follow"
126 ;; "Delete other windows, split the frame in two, and enter Follow Mode." t)
127 ;; (global-set-key [f7] 'follow-delete-other-windows-and-split)
130 ;; There exists two system variables which controls the appearence of
131 ;; lines which are wider than the window containing them. The default
132 ;; is to truncate long lines whenever a window isn't as wide as the
135 ;; To make sure lines are never truncated, please place the following
136 ;; lines in your init file:
138 ;; (setq truncate-lines nil)
139 ;; (setq truncate-partial-width-windows nil)
142 ;; Since the display of XEmacs is pixel-oriented, a line could be
143 ;; clipped in half at the bottom of the window.
145 ;; To make XEmacs avoid clipping (normal) lines, please place the
146 ;; following line in your init-file:
148 ;; (setq pixel-vertical-clip-threshold 30)
151 ;; The correct way to cofigurate Follow mode, or any other mode for
152 ;; that matter, is to create one (or more) function which does
153 ;; whatever you would like to do. The function is then added to
156 ;; When `Follow' mode is activated, functions stored in the hook
157 ;; `follow-mode-hook' are called. When it is deactivated
158 ;; `follow-mode-off-hook' is runed.
160 ;; The keymap `follow-key-map' contains key bindings activated by
164 ;; (add-hook 'follow-mode-hook 'my-follow-mode-hook)
166 ;; (defun my-follow-mode-hook ()
167 ;; (define-key follow-mode-map "\C-ca" 'your-favorite-function)
168 ;; (define-key follow-mode-map "\C-cb" 'another-function))
173 ;; To activate give the command: M-x follow-mode
174 ;; and press return. To deactivate, do it again.
176 ;; Some special commands have been developed to make life even easier:
177 ;; follow-scroll-up C-c . C-v
178 ;; Scroll text in a Follow Mode window chain up.
180 ;; follow-scroll-down C-c . v
181 ;; Like `follow-scroll-up', but in the other direction.
183 ;; follow-delete-other-windows-and-split C-c . 1
184 ;; Maximise the visible area of the current buffer,
185 ;; and enter Follow Mode. This is a very convenient
186 ;; way to start Follow Mode, hence it is recomended
187 ;; that this command is added to the global keymap.
189 ;; follow-recenter C-c . C-l
190 ;; Place the point in the center of the middle window,
191 ;; or a specified number of lines from either top or bottom.
193 ;; follow-switch-to-buffer C-c . b
194 ;; Switch buffer in all windows displaying the current buffer
197 ;; follow-switch-to-buffer-all C-c . C-b
198 ;; Switch buffer in all windows in the active frame.
200 ;; follow-switch-to-current-buffer-all
201 ;; Show the current buffer in all windows on the current
202 ;; frame and turn on `follow-mode'.
204 ;; follow-first-window C-c . <
205 ;; Select the first window in the frame showing the same buffer.
207 ;; follow-last-window C-c . >
208 ;; Select the last window in the frame showing the same buffer.
210 ;; follow-next-window C-c . n
211 ;; Select the next window in the frame showing the same buffer.
213 ;; follow-previous-window C-c . p
214 ;; Select the previous window showing the same buffer.
217 ;; Well, it seems ok, but what if I really want to look at two different
218 ;; positions in the text? Here are two simple methods to use:
220 ;; 1) Use multiple frames; `follow' mode only affects windows displayed
221 ;; in the same frame. (My apoligies to you who can't use frames.)
223 ;; 2) Bind `follow-mode' to key so you can turn it off whenever
224 ;; you want to view two locations. Of course, `follow' mode can
225 ;; be reactivated by hitting the same key again.
227 ;; Example from my ~/.emacs:
228 ;; (global-set-key [f8] 'follow-mode)
233 ;; In an ideal world, follow mode would have been implemented in the
234 ;; kernal of the display routines, making sure that the windows (in
235 ;; follow mode) ALWAYS are aligned. On planet earth, however, we must
236 ;; accept a solution where we ALMOST ALWAYS can make sure that the
237 ;; windows are aligned.
239 ;; Follow mode does this in three places:
240 ;; 1) After each user command.
241 ;; 2) After a process output has been perfomed.
242 ;; 3) When a scrollbar has been moved.
244 ;; This will cover most situations. (Let me know if there are other
245 ;; situations which should be covered.)
247 ;; However, only the selected window is checked, for the reason of
248 ;; efficiency and code complexity. (i.e. it is possible to make a
249 ;; non-selected windows unaligned. It will, however, pop right back
250 ;; when it is selected.)
