25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This package provides the `view' minor mode documented in the Emacs
28 ;; user's manual.
29 ;; View mode entry and exit is done through the functions view-mode-enter
30 ;; and view-mode-exit. Use these functions to enter or exit view-mode from
31 ;; emacs lisp programs.
32 ;; We use both view- and View- as prefix for symbols. View- is used as
33 ;; prefix for commands that have a key binding. view- is used for commands
34 ;; without key binding. The purpose of this is to make it easier for a
35 ;; user to use command name completion.
37 ;;; Suggested key bindings:
39 ;; (define-key ctl-x-4-map "v" 'view-file-other-window) ; ^x4v
40 ;; (define-key ctl-x-5-map "v" 'view-file-other-frame) ; ^x5v
42 ;; You could also bind view-file, view-buffer, view-buffer-other-window and
43 ;; view-buffer-other-frame to keys.

396 take prefix arguments. Page commands default to \"page size\"
397 lines which is almost a whole window, or number of lines set by
398 \\[View-scroll-page-forward-set-page-size] or \\[View-scroll-page-backward-set-page-size].
399 Half page commands default to and set \"half page size\" lines
400 which initially is half a window full. Search commands default
401 to a repeat count of one.
403 H, h, ? This message.
404 Digits provide prefix arguments.
405 \\[negative-argument] negative prefix argument.
406 \\[beginning-of-buffer] move to the beginning of buffer.
407 > move to the end of buffer.
408 \\[View-scroll-to-buffer-end] scroll so that buffer end is at last line of window.
409 SPC scroll forward \"page size\" lines.
410 With prefix scroll forward prefix lines.
411 DEL, S-SPC scroll backward \"page size\" lines.
412 With prefix scroll backward prefix lines.
413 \\[View-scroll-page-forward-set-page-size] like \\[View-scroll-page-forward] but with prefix sets \"page size\" to prefix.
414 \\[View-scroll-page-backward-set-page-size] like \\[View-scroll-page-backward] but with prefix sets \"page size\" to prefix.
415 \\[View-scroll-half-page-forward] scroll forward \"half page size\" lines. With prefix, sets
416 \"half page size\" to prefix lines and scrolls forward that much.
417 \\[View-scroll-half-page-backward] scroll backward \"half page size\" lines. With prefix, sets
418 \"half page size\" to prefix lines and scrolls backward that much.
419 RET, LFD scroll forward one line. With prefix scroll forward prefix line(s).
420 y scroll backward one line. With prefix scroll backward prefix line(s).
421 \\[View-revert-buffer-scroll-page-forward] revert-buffer if necessary and scroll forward.
422 Use this to view a changing file.
423 \\[what-line] prints the current line number.
424 \\[View-goto-percent] goes prefix argument (default 100) percent into buffer.
425 \\[View-goto-line] goes to line given by prefix argument (default first line).
426 . set the mark.
427 x exchanges point and mark.
428 \\[View-back-to-mark] return to mark and pops mark ring.
429 Mark ring is pushed at start of every successful search and when
430 jump to line occurs. The mark is set on jump to buffer start or end.
431 \\[point-to-register] save current position in character register.
432 \\=' go to position saved in character register.
433 s do forward incremental search.
434 r do reverse incremental search.
435 \\[View-search-regexp-forward] searches forward for regular expression, starting after current page.
436 ! and @ have a special meaning at the beginning of the regexp.
437 ! means search for a line with no match for regexp. @ means start
438 search at beginning (end for backward search) of buffer.
439 \\ searches backward for regular expression, starting before current page.
440 \\[View-search-last-regexp-forward] searches forward for last regular expression.
441 p searches backward for last regular expression.
442 \\[View-quit] quit View mode, restoring this window and buffer to previous state.
443 \\[View-quit] is the normal way to leave view mode.
444 \\[View-exit] exit View mode but stay in current buffer. Use this if you started
445 viewing a buffer (file) and find out you want to edit it.
446 This command restores the previous read-only status of the buffer.
447 \\[View-exit-and-edit] exit View mode, and make the current buffer editable
448 even if it was not editable before entry to View mode.
449 \\[View-quit-all] quit View mode, restoring all windows to previous state.
450 \\[View-leave] quit View mode and maybe switch buffers, but don't kill this buffer.
451 \\[View-kill-and-leave] quit View mode, kill current buffer and go back to other buffer.
453 The effect of \\[View-leave], \\[View-quit] and \\[View-kill-and-leave] depends on how view-mode was entered. If it was
454 entered by view-file, view-file-other-window, view-file-other-frame, or
455 \\[dired-view-file] \(\\[view-file], \\[view-file-other-window],
456 \\[view-file-other-frame], or the Dired mode v command),
457 then \\[View-quit] will try to kill the current buffer.
458 If view-mode was entered from another buffer, by \\[view-buffer],
459 \\[view-buffer-other-window], \\[view-buffer-other frame], \\[view-file],
460 \\[view-file-other-window], or \\[view-file-other-frame],
461 then \\[View-leave], \\[View-quit] and \\[View-kill-and-leave] will return to that buffer.
