26 ;; Provides Capitalized Words minor mode for word movement in
27 ;; identifiers CapitalizedLikeThis.
29 ;; Note that the same effect could be obtained by frobbing the
30 ;; category of upper case characters to produce word boundaries, but
31 ;; the necessary processing isn't done for ASCII characters.
33 ;; Fixme: This doesn't work properly for mouse double clicks.
35 ;;; Code:
37 (defun capitalized-find-word-boundary (pos limit)
38 "Function for use in `find-word-boundary-function-table'.
39 Looks for word boundaries before capitals."
40 (save-excursion
41 (goto-char pos)
42 (let (case-fold-search)
43 (if (<= pos limit)
44 ;; Fixme: Are these regexps the best?

50 (or (re-search-backward "[[:upper:]]\\w*\\=" limit t)

63 "Toggle Capitalized Words mode.
65 In this minor mode, a word boundary occurs immediately before an
66 uppercase letter in a symbol. This is in addition to all the normal
67 boundaries given by the syntax and category tables. There is no
68 restriction to ASCII.
70 E.g. the beginning of words in the following identifier are as marked:
72 capitalizedWorDD
73 ^ ^ ^^
75 Note that these word boundaries only apply for word motion and
76 marking commands such as \\[forward-word]. This mode does not affect word
77 boundaries found by regexp matching (`\\>', `\\w' &c).
79 This style of identifiers is common in environments like Java ones,
80 where underscores aren't trendy enough. Capitalization rules are
81 sometimes part of the language, e.g. Haskell, which may thus encourage
82 such a style. It is appropriate to add `capitalized-words-mode' to
83 the mode hook for programming language modes in which you encounter
84 variables like this, e.g. `java-mode-hook'. It's unlikely to cause
85 trouble if such identifiers aren't used.
87 See also `glasses-mode' and `studlify-word'.
88 Obsoletes `c-forward-into-nomenclature'."
