25 ;;; COMMENTARY
26 ;;; ----------
27 ;;; This package prints name of function where your current point is
28 ;;; located in mode line. It assumes that you work with imenu package
29 ;;; and imenu--index-alist is up to date.
31 ;;; KNOWN BUGS
32 ;;; ----------
33 ;;; Really this package shows not "function where the current point
34 ;;; is located now", but "nearest function which defined above the
35 ;;; current point". So if your current point is located after end of
36 ;;; function FOO but before begin of function BAR, FOO will be
37 ;;; displayed in mode line.
39 ;;; TODO LIST
40 ;;; ---------
41 ;;; 1. Dependence on imenu package should be removed. Separate
42 ;;; function determination mechanism should be used to determine the end
43 ;;; of a function as well as the beginning of a function.
44 ;;; 2. This package should be realized with the help of overlay
45 ;;; properties instead of imenu--index-alist variable.
47 ;;; THANKS TO
48 ;;; ---------
49 ;;; Per Abrahamsen <abraham@iesd.auc.dk>
50 ;;; Some ideas (inserting in mode-line, using of post-command hook
51 ;;; and toggling this mode) have been borrowed from his package
52 ;;; column.el
53 ;;; Peter Eisenhauer <pipe@fzi.de>
54 ;;; Bug fixing in case nested indexes.
55 ;;; Terry Tateyama <ttt@ursa0.cs.utah.edu>
56 ;;; Suggestion to use find-file-hooks for first imenu
57 ;;; index building.
59 ;;; Variables for customization
