25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; "Electric" has been used in Emacs to refer to different things.
28 ;; Among them:
30 ;; - electric modes and buffers: modes that typically pop-up in a modal kind of
31 ;; way a transient buffer that automatically disappears as soon as the user
32 ;; is done with it.
34 ;; - electric keys: self inserting keys which additionally perform some side
35 ;; operation which happens to be often convenient at that time. Examples of
36 ;; such side operations are: reindenting code, inserting a newline,
37 ;; ... auto-fill-mode and abbrev-mode can be considered as built-in forms of
38 ;; electric key behavior.
40 ;;; Code:
42 ;; This loop is the guts for non-standard modes which retain control
43 ;; until some event occurs. It is a `do-forever', the only way out is
44 ;; to throw. It assumes that you have set up the keymap, window, and
45 ;; everything else: all it does is read commands and execute them -
46 ;; providing error messages should one occur (if there is no loop
47 ;; function - which see). The required argument is a tag which should
48 ;; expect a value of nil if the user decides to punt. The second
49 ;; argument is the prompt to be used: if nil, use "->", if 'noprompt,
50 ;; don't use a prompt, if a string, use that string as prompt, and if
51 ;; a function of no variable, it will be evaluated in every iteration
52 ;; of the loop and its return value, which can be nil, 'noprompt or a
53 ;; string, will be used as prompt. Given third argument non-nil, it
54 ;; INHIBITS quitting unless the user types C-g at toplevel. This is
55 ;; so user can do things like C-u C-g and not get thrown out. Fourth
56 ;; argument, if non-nil, should be a function of two arguments which
57 ;; is called after every command is executed. The fifth argument, if
58 ;; provided, is the state variable for the function. If the
59 ;; loop-function gets an error, the loop will abort WITHOUT throwing
60 ;; (moral: use unwind-protect around call to this function for any
61 ;; critical stuff). The second argument for the loop function is the
62 ;; conditions for any error that occurred or nil if none.
