27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; Installation:
30 ;; To get the functions in this package bound to keys, do
31 ;; (iswitchb-default-keybindings)
33 ;; If you want to use the features of iswitchb, but without rebinding
34 ;; the keys as above, then you need to add the following hook:
35 ;; (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'iswitchb-minibuffer-setup)
37 ;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers currently matching
38 ;; the substring are displayed as you type. The list is ordered so
39 ;; that the most recent buffers visited come at the start of the list.
40 ;; The buffer at the start of the list will be the one visited when
41 ;; you press return. By typing more of the substring, the list is
42 ;; narrowed down so that gradually the buffer you want will be at the
43 ;; top of the list. Alternatively, you can use C-s an C-r to rotate
44 ;; buffer names in the list until the one you want is at the top of
45 ;; the list. Completion is also available so that you can see what is
46 ;; common to all of the matching buffers as you type.
48 ;; This code is similar to a couple of other packages. Michael R Cook
49 ;; <mcook@cognex.com> wrote a similar buffer switching package, but
50 ;; does exact matching rather than substring matching on buffer names.
51 ;; I also modified a couple of functions from icomplete.el to provide
52 ;; the completion feedback in the minibuffer.
54 ;;; Example
56 ;;If I have two buffers called "123456" and "123", with "123456" the
57 ;;most recent, when I use iswitchb, I first of all get presented with
58 ;;the list of all the buffers
60 ;; iswitch {123456,123}
62 ;; If I then press 2:
63 ;; iswitch 2[3]{123456,123}
65 ;; The list in {} are the matching buffers, most recent first (buffers
66 ;; visible in the current frame are put at the end of the list by
67 ;; default). At any time I can select the item at the head of the
68 ;; list by pressing RET. I can also bring the put the first element
69 ;; at the end of the list by pressing C-s, or put the last element at
70 ;; the head of the list by pressing C-r. The item in [] indicates
71 ;; what can be added to my input by pressing TAB. In this case, I
72 ;; will get "3" added to my input. So, press TAB:
73 ;; iswitch 23{123456,123}
75 ;; At this point, I still have two matching buffers.
76 ;; If I want the first buffer in the list, I simply press RET. If I
77 ;; wanted the second in the list, I could press C-s to move it to the
78 ;; top of the list and then RET to select it.
80 ;;However, If I type 4, I only have one match left:
81 ;; iswitch 234[123456] [Matched]
83 ;;Since there is only one matching buffer left, it is given in [] and we
84 ;;see the text [Matched] afterwards. I can now press TAB or RET to go
85 ;;to that buffer.
87 ;; If however, I now type "a":
88 ;; iswitch 234a [No match]
89 ;; There are no matching buffers. If I press RET or TAB, I can be
90 ;; prompted to create a new buffer called "234a".
92 ;; Of course, where this function comes in really useful is when you
93 ;; can specify the buffer using only a few keystrokes. In the above
94 ;; example, the quickest way to get to the "123456" buffer would be
95 ;; just to type 4 and then RET (assuming there isn't any newer buffer
96 ;; with 4 in its name).
98 ;; To see a full list of all matching buffers in a separate buffer,
99 ;; hit ? or press TAB when there are no further completions to the
100 ;; substring. Repeated TAB presses will scroll you through this
101 ;; separate buffer.
103 ;; The buffer at the head of the list can be killed by pressing C-k.
104 ;; If the buffer needs saving, you will be queried before the buffer
105 ;; is killed.
107 ;; If you find that the file you are after is not in a buffer, you can
108 ;; press C-x C-f to immediately drop into find-file.
111 ;; See the doc string of iswitchb for full keybindings and features.
112 ;; (describe-function 'iswitchb)
114 ;;; Customisation
116 ;; See the User Variables section below for easy ways to change the
117 ;; functionality of the program. These are accessible using the
118 ;; custom package.
119 ;; To modify the keybindings, use the hook provided. For example:
120 ;;(add-hook 'iswitchb-define-mode-map-hook
121 ;; 'iswitchb-my-keys)
123 ;;(defun iswitchb-my-keys ()
124 ;; "Add my keybindings for iswitchb."
125 ;; (define-key iswitchb-mode-map " " 'iswitchb-next-match)
126 ;; )
128 ;; Seeing all the matching buffers
130 ;; If you have many matching buffers, they may not all fit onto one
131 ;; line of the minibuffer. In this case, you should use rsz-mini
132 ;; (resize-minibuffer-mode). You can also limit iswitchb so that it
133 ;; only shows a certain number of lines -- see the documentation for
134 ;; `iswitchb-minibuffer-setup-hook'.
136 ;; Changing the list of buffers
138 ;; By default, the list of current buffers is most recent first,
139 ;; oldest last, with the exception that the buffers visible in the
140 ;; current frame are put at the end of the list. A hook exists to
141 ;; allow other functions to order the list. For example, if you add:
143 ;; (add-hook 'iswitchb-make-buflist-hook 'iswitchb-summaries-to-end)
145 ;; then all buffers matching "Summary" are moved to the end of the
146 ;; list. (I find this handy for keeping the INBOX Summary and so on
147 ;; out of the way.) It also moves buffers matching "output\*$" to the
148 ;; end of the list (these are created by AUC TeX when compiling.)
149 ;; Other functions could be made available which alter the list of
150 ;; matching buffers (either deleting or rearranging elements.)
152 ;; Font-Lock
154 ;; If you have font-lock loaded, the first matching buffer is
155 ;; highlighted. To switch this off, set (setq iswitchb-use-fonts nil)
156 ;; I don't use font-lock that much, so I've hardcoded the faces. If
157 ;; this is too harsh, let me know. Colouring of the matching buffer
158 ;; name was suggested by Carsten Dominik (dominik@strw.leidenuniv.nl)
160 ;; Replacement for read-buffer
162 ;; iswitchb-read-buffer has been written to be a drop in replacement
163 ;; for the normal buffer selection routine `read-buffer'. To use
164 ;; iswitch for all buffer selections in Emacs, add:
165 ;; (setq read-buffer-function 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
166 ;; (This variable should be present in Emacs 20.3+)
167 ;; XEmacs users can get the same behaviour by doing:
168 ;; (defalias 'read-buffer 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
169 ;; since `read-buffer' is defined in lisp.
171 ;; Regexp matching
173 ;; There is limited provision for regexp matching within iswitchb,
174 ;; enabled through `iswitchb-regexp'. This allows you to type `c$'
175 ;; for example and see all buffer names ending in `c'. This facility
176 ;; is quite limited though in two respects. First, you can't
177 ;; currently type in expressions like `[0-9]' directly -- you have to
178 ;; type them in when iswitchb-regexp is nil and then toggle on the
179 ;; regexp functionality. Likewise, don't enter an expression
180 ;; containing `\' in regexp mode. If you try, iswitchb gets confused,
181 ;; so just hit C-g and try again. Secondly, no completion mechanism
182 ;; is currently offered when regexp searching.
