29 ;; `Follow mode' is a minor mode for Emacs and XEmacs that
30 ;; combines windows into one tall virtual window.
32 ;; The feeling of a "virtual window" has been accomplished by the use
33 ;; of two major techniques:
35 ;; * The windows always display adjacent sections of the buffer.
36 ;; This means that whenever one window is moved, all the
37 ;; others will follow. (Hence the name Follow mode.)
39 ;; * Should the point (cursor) end up outside a window, another
40 ;; window displaying that point is selected, if possible. This
41 ;; makes it possible to walk between windows using normal cursor
44 ;; Follow mode comes to its prime when a large screen and two
45 ;; side-by-side window are used. The user can, with the help of Follow
46 ;; mode, use two full-height windows as though they are one.
47 ;; Imagine yourself editing a large function, or section of text,
48 ;; and being able to use 144 lines instead of the normal 72... (your
51 ;; To test this package, make sure `follow' is loaded, or will be
52 ;; autoloaded when activated (see below). Then do the following:
54 ;; * Find your favorite file (preferably a long one).
56 ;; * Resize Emacs so that it will be wide enough for two full size
57 ;; columns. Delete the other windows and split the window with
58 ;; the commands `C-x 1 C-x 3'.
60 ;; * Give the command:
61 ;; M-x follow-mode <RETURN>
63 ;; * Now the display should look something like (assuming the text "71"
66 ;; +----------+----------+
73 ;; +----------+----------+
75 ;; As you can see, the right-hand window starts at line 73, the line
76 ;; immediately below the end of the left-hand window. As long as
77 ;; `follow-mode' is active, the two windows will follow each other!
79 ;; * Play around and enjoy! Scroll one window and watch the other.
80 ;; Jump to the beginning or end. Press `Cursor down' at the last
81 ;; line of the left-hand window. Enter new lines into the
82 ;; text. Enter long lines spanning several lines, or several
85 ;; * Should you find `Follow' mode annoying, just type
86 ;; M-x follow-mode <RETURN>
90 ;; The command `follow-delete-other-windows-and-split' maximises the
91 ;; visible area of the current buffer.
93 ;; I recommend adding it, and `follow-mode', to hotkeys in the global
94 ;; key map. To do so, add the following lines (replacing `[f7]' and
95 ;; `[f8]' with your favorite keys) to the init file:
97 ;; (global-set-key [f8] 'follow-mode)
98 ;; (global-set-key [f7] 'follow-delete-other-windows-and-split)
101 ;; There exist two system variables that control the appearence of
102 ;; lines wider than the window containing them. The default is to
103 ;; truncate long lines whenever a window isn't as wide as the frame.
105 ;; To make sure lines are never truncated, please place the following
106 ;; lines in your init file:
108 ;; (setq truncate-lines nil)
109 ;; (setq truncate-partial-width-windows nil)
112 ;; Since the display of XEmacs is pixel-oriented, a line could be
113 ;; clipped in half at the bottom of the window.
115 ;; To make XEmacs avoid clipping (normal) lines, please place the
116 ;; following line in your init-file:
118 ;; (setq pixel-vertical-clip-threshold 30)
121 ;; The correct way to cofigurate Follow mode, or any other mode for
122 ;; that matter, is to create one or more functions that do
123 ;; whatever you would like to do. These functions are then added to
126 ;; When `Follow' mode is activated, functions stored in the hook
127 ;; `follow-mode-hook' are called. When it is deactivated
128 ;; `follow-mode-off-hook' is run.
130 ;; The keymap `follow-key-map' contains key bindings activated by
134 ;; (add-hook 'follow-mode-hook 'my-follow-mode-hook)
136 ;; (defun my-follow-mode-hook ()
137 ;; (define-key follow-mode-map "\C-ca" 'your-favorite-function)
138 ;; (define-key follow-mode-map "\C-cb" 'another-function))
143 ;; To activate, issue the command "M-x follow-mode"
144 ;; and press Return. To deactivate, do it again.
146 ;; The following is a list of commands useful when follow-mode is active.
148 ;; follow-scroll-up C-c . C-v
149 ;; Scroll text in a Follow mode window chain up.
151 ;; follow-scroll-down C-c . v
152 ;; Like `follow-scroll-up', but in the other direction.
154 ;; follow-delete-other-windows-and-split C-c . 1
155 ;; Maximize the visible area of the current buffer,
156 ;; and enter Follow mode. This is a very convenient
157 ;; way to start Follow mode, hence we recomend that
158 ;; this command be added to the global keymap.
160 ;; follow-recenter C-c . C-l
161 ;; Place the point in the center of the middle window,
162 ;; or a specified number of lines from either top or bottom.
164 ;; follow-switch-to-buffer C-c . b
165 ;; Switch buffer in all windows displaying the current buffer
168 ;; follow-switch-to-buffer-all C-c . C-b
169 ;; Switch buffer in all windows in the selected frame.
171 ;; follow-switch-to-current-buffer-all
172 ;; Show the current buffer in all windows on the current
173 ;; frame and turn on `follow-mode'.
175 ;; follow-first-window C-c . <
176 ;; Select the first window in the frame showing the same buffer.
178 ;; follow-last-window C-c . >
179 ;; Select the last window in the frame showing the same buffer.
181 ;; follow-next-window C-c . n
182 ;; Select the next window in the frame showing the same buffer.
184 ;; follow-previous-window C-c . p
185 ;; Select the previous window showing the same buffer.
188 ;; Well, it seems ok, but what if I really want to look at two different
189 ;; positions in the text? Here are two simple methods to use:
191 ;; 1) Use multiple frames; `follow' mode only affects windows displayed
192 ;; in the same frame. (My apoligies to you who can't use frames.)
194 ;; 2) Bind `follow-mode' to key so you can turn it off whenever
195 ;; you want to view two locations. Of course, `follow' mode can
196 ;; be reactivated by hitting the same key again.
198 ;; Example from my ~/.emacs:
199 ;; (global-set-key [f8] 'follow-mode)
204 ;; In an ideal world, follow mode would have been implemented in the
205 ;; kernel of the display routines, making sure that the windows (using
206 ;; follow mode) ALWAYS are aligned. On planet Earth, however, we must
207 ;; accept a solution where we ALMOST ALWAYS can make sure that the
208 ;; windows are aligned.
210 ;; Follow mode does this in three places:
211 ;; 1) After each user command.
212 ;; 2) After a process output has been perfomed.
213 ;; 3) When a scrollbar has been moved.
215 ;; This will cover most situations. (Let me know if there are other
216 ;; situations that should be covered.)
218 ;; Note that only the selected window is checked, for the reason of
219 ;; efficiency and code complexity. (I.e. it is possible to make a
220 ;; non-selected windows unaligned. It will, however, pop right back
221 ;; when it is selected.)
229 ;; Make the compiler shut up!
230 ;; There are two strategies:
231 ;; 1) Shut warnings off completely.
232 ;; 2) Handle each warning separately.
234 ;; Since I would like to see real errors, I've selected the latter
237 ;; The problem with undefined variables and functions has been solved
238 ;; by using `set', `symbol-value' and `symbol-function' rather than
239 ;; `setq' and direct references to variables and functions.
242 ;; (if (boundp 'foo) ... (symbol-value 'foo) )
243 ;; (set 'foo ...) <-- XEmacs doesn't fall for this one.
244 ;; (funcall (symbol-function 'set) 'bar ...)
246 ;; Note: When this file is interpreted, `eval-when-compile' is
247 ;; evaluted. Since it doesn't hurt to evaluate it, but it is a bit
248 ;; annoying, we test if the byte-compiler has been loaded. This can,
249 ;; of course, lead to some occasional unintended evaluation...
