27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This package defines a set of routines, windmove-{left,up,right,
30 ;; down}, for selection of windows in a frame geometrically. For
31 ;; example, `windmove-right' selects the window immediately to the
32 ;; right of the currently-selected one. This functionality is similar
33 ;; to the window-selection controls of the BRIEF editor of yore.
35 ;; One subtle point is what happens when the window to the right has
36 ;; been split vertically; for example, consider a call to
37 ;; `windmove-right' in this setup:
39 ;; -------------
40 ;; | | A |
41 ;; | | |
42 ;; | |-----
43 ;; | * | | (* is point in the currently
44 ;; | | B | selected window)
45 ;; | | |
46 ;; -------------
48 ;; There are (at least) three reasonable things to do:
49 ;; (1) Always move to the window to the right of the top edge of the
50 ;; selected window; in this case, this policy selects A.
51 ;; (2) Always move to the window to the right of the bottom edge of
52 ;; the selected window; in this case, this policy selects B.
53 ;; (3) Move to the window to the right of point in the selected
54 ;; window. This may select either A or B, depending on the
55 ;; position of point; in the illustrated example, it would select
56 ;; B.
58 ;; Similar issues arise for all the movement functions. Windmove
59 ;; resolves this problem by allowing the user to specify behavior
60 ;; through a prefix argument. The cases are thus:
61 ;; * if no argument is given to the movement functions, or the
62 ;; argument given is zero, movement is relative to point;
63 ;; * if a positive argument is given, movement is relative to the top
64 ;; or left edge of the selected window, depending on whether the
65 ;; movement is to be horizontal or vertical;
66 ;; * if a negative argument is given, movement is relative to the
67 ;; bottom or right edge of the selected window, depending on whether
68 ;; the movement is to be horizontal or vertical.
71 ;; Another feature enables wrap-around mode when the variable
72 ;; `windmove-wrap-around' is set to a non-nil value. In this mode,
73 ;; movement that falls off the edge of the frame will wrap around to
74 ;; find the window on the opposite side of the frame. Windmove does
75 ;; the Right Thing about the minibuffer; for example, consider:
77 ;; -------------
78 ;; | * |
79 ;; |-----------|
80 ;; | A |
81 ;; |-----------| (* is point in the currently
82 ;; | B | C | selected window)
83 ;; | | |
84 ;; -------------
86 ;; With wraparound enabled, windmove-down will move to A, while
87 ;; windmove-up will move to the minibuffer if it is active, or to
88 ;; either B or C depending on the prefix argument.
91 ;; A set of default keybindings is supplied: shift-{left,up,right,down}
92 ;; invoke the corresponding Windmove function. See the installation
93 ;; section if you wish to use these keybindings.
96 ;; Installation:
98 ;; Put the following line in your `.emacs' file:
100 ;; (windmove-default-keybindings) ; shifted arrow keys
102 ;; or
104 ;; (windmove-default-keybindings 'hyper) ; etc.
106 ;; to use another modifier key.
109 ;; If you wish to enable wrap-around, also add a line like:
111 ;; (setq windmove-wrap-around t)
114 ;; Note: If you have an Emacs that manifests a bug that sometimes
115 ;; causes the occasional creation of a "lost column" between windows,
116 ;; so that two adjacent windows do not actually touch, you may want to
117 ;; increase the value of `windmove-window-distance-delta' to 2 or 3:
119 ;; (setq windmove-window-distance-delta 2)

165 ;; Implementation overview:
167 ;; The conceptual framework behind this code is all fairly simple. We
168 ;; are on one window; we wish to move to another. The correct window
169 ;; to move to is determined by the position of point in the current
170 ;; window as well as the overall window setup.
172 ;; Early on, I made the decision to base my implementation around the
173 ;; built-in function `window-at'. This function takes a frame-based
174 ;; coordinate, and returns the window that contains it. Using this
175 ;; function, the job of the various top-level windmove functions can
176 ;; be decomposed: first, find the current frame-based location of
177 ;; point; second, manipulate it in some way to give a new location,
178 ;; that hopefully falls in the window immediately at left (or right,
179 ;; etc.); third, use `window-at' and `select-window' to select the
180 ;; window at that new location.
182 ;; This is probably not the only possible architecture, and it turns
183 ;; out to have some inherent cruftiness. (Well, okay, the third step
184 ;; is pretty clean....) We will consider each step in turn.
186 ;; A quick digression about coordinate frames: most of the functions
187 ;; in the windmove package deal with screen coordinates in one way or
188 ;; another. These coordinates are always relative to some reference
189 ;; points. Window-based coordinates have their reference point in the
190 ;; upper-left-hand corner of whatever window is being talked about;
191 ;; frame-based coordinates have their reference point in the
192 ;; upper-left-hand corner of the entire frame (of which the current
193 ;; window is a component).
195 ;; All coordinates are zero-based, which simply means that the
196 ;; reference point (whatever it is) is assigned the value (x=0, y=0).
197 ;; X-coordinates grow down the screen, and Y-coordinates grow towards
198 ;; the right of the screen.
200 ;; Okay, back to work. The first step is to gather information about
201 ;; the frame-based coordinates of point, or rather, the reference
202 ;; location. The reference location can be point, or the upper-left,
203 ;; or the lower-right corner of the window; the particular one used is
204 ;; controlled by the prefix argument to `windmove-left' and all the
205 ;; rest.
207 ;; This work is done by `windmove-reference-loc'. It can figure out
208 ;; the locations of the corners by calling `window-edges' combined
209 ;; with the result of `posn-at-point'.
211 ;; The second step is more messy. Conceptually, it is fairly simple:
212 ;; if we know the reference location, and the coordinates of the
213 ;; current window, we can "throw" our reference point just over the
214 ;; appropriate edge of the window, and see what other window is
215 ;; there. More explicitly, consider this example from the user
216 ;; documentation above.
218 ;; -------------
219 ;; | | A |
220 ;; | | |
221 ;; | |-----
222 ;; | * | | (* is point in the currently
223 ;; | | B | selected window)
224 ;; | | |
225 ;; -------------
227 ;; The asterisk marks the reference point; we wish to move right.
228 ;; Since we are moving horizontally, the Y coordinate of the new
229 ;; location will be the same. The X coordinate can be such that it is
230 ;; just past the edge of the present window. Obviously, the new point
231 ;; will be inside window B. This in itself is fairly simple: using
232 ;; the result of `windmove-reference-loc' and `window-edges', all the
233 ;; necessary math can be performed. (Having said that, there is a
234 ;; good deal of room for off-by-one errors, and Emacs 19.34, at least,
235 ;; sometimes manifests a bug where two windows don't actually touch,
236 ;; so a larger skip is required.) The actual math here is done by
237 ;; `windmove-other-window-loc'.
239 ;; But we can't just pass the result of `windmove-other-window-loc' to
240 ;; `window-at' directly. Why not? Suppose a move would take us off
241 ;; the edge of the screen, say to the left. We want to give a
242 ;; descriptive error message to the user. Or, suppose that a move
243 ;; would place us in the minibuffer. What if the minibuffer is
244 ;; inactive?
246 ;; Actually, the whole subject of the minibuffer edge of the frame is
247 ;; rather messy. It turns out that with a sufficiently large delta,
248 ;; we can fly off the bottom edge of the frame and miss the minibuffer
249 ;; altogther. This, I think, is never right: if there's a minibuffer
250 ;; and you're not in it, and you move down, the minibuffer should be
251 ;; in your way.
253 ;; (By the way, I'm not totally sure that the code does the right
254 ;; thing in really weird cases, like a frame with no minibuffer.)
256 ;; So, what we need is some ways to do constraining and such. The
257 ;; early versions of windmove took a fairly simplistic approach to all
258 ;; this. When I added the wrap-around option, those internals had to
259 ;; be rewritten. After a *lot* of futzing around, I came up with a
260 ;; two-step process that I think is general enough to cover the
261 ;; relevant cases. (I'm not totally happy with having to pass the
262 ;; window variable as deep as I do, but we can't have everything.)
264 ;; In the first phase, we make sure that the new location is sane.
265 ;; "Sane" means that we can only fall of the edge of the frame in the
266 ;; direction we're moving in, and that we don't miss the minibuffer if
267 ;; we're moving down and not already in the minibuffer. The function
268 ;; `windmove-constrain-loc-for-movement' takes care of all this.
270 ;; Then, we handle the wraparound, if it's enabled. The function
271 ;; `windmove-wrap-loc-for-movement' takes coordinate values (both X
272 ;; and Y) that fall off the edge of the frame, and replaces them with
273 ;; values on the other side of the frame. It also has special
274 ;; minibuffer-handling code again, because we want to wrap through the
275 ;; minibuffer if it's not enabled.
277 ;; So, that's it. Seems to work. All of this work is done by the fun
278 ;; function `windmove-find-other-window'.
280 ;; So, now we have a window to move to (or nil if something's gone
281 ;; wrong). The function `windmove-do-window-select' is the main
282 ;; driver function: it actually does the `select-window'. It is
283 ;; called by four little convenience wrappers, `windmove-left',
284 ;; `windmove-up', `windmove-right', and `windmove-down', which make
285 ;; for convenient keybinding.
