26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; Purpose of this package:
29 ;; 1. Offer a function for letting the user choose buffer,
30 ;; not necessarily for switching to it.
31 ;; 2. Make a better mouse-buffer-menu. This is done as a global
32 ;; minor mode, msb-mode.
33 ;;
34 ;; Customization:
35 ;; Look at the variable `msb-menu-cond' for deciding what menus you
36 ;; want. It's not that hard to customize, despite my not-so-good
37 ;; doc-string. Feel free to send me a better doc-string.
38 ;; There are some constants for you to try here:
39 ;; msb--few-menus
40 ;; msb--very-many-menus (default)
41 ;;
42 ;; Look at the variable `msb-item-handling-function' for customization
43 ;; of the appearance of every menu item. Try for instance setting
44 ;; it to `msb-alon-item-handler'.
45 ;;
46 ;; Look at the variable `msb-item-sort-function' for customization
47 ;; of sorting the menus. Set it to t for instance, which means no
48 ;; sorting - you will get latest used buffer first.
49 ;;
50 ;; Also check out the variable `msb-display-invisible-buffers-p'.
52 ;; Known bugs:
53 ;; - Files-by-directory
54 ;; + No possibility to show client/changed buffers separately.
55 ;; + All file buffers only appear in a file sub-menu, they will
56 ;; for instance not appear in the Mail sub-menu.
58 ;; Future enhancements:

195 "Customizable buffer-selection with multiple menus."
200 "Set the value of custom variables for msb."
203 ;; wait until package has been loaded before bothering to update
204 ;; the buffer lists.
208 "List of criteria for splitting the mouse buffer menu.
209 The elements in the list should be of this type:
210 (CONDITION MENU-SORT-KEY MENU-TITLE ITEM-HANDLING-FN ITEM-SORT-FN).
212 When making the split, the buffers are tested one by one against the
213 CONDITION, just like a Lisp cond: When hitting a true condition, the
214 other criteria are *not* tested and the buffer name will appear in the
215 menu with the menu-title corresponding to the true condition.
217 If the condition returns the symbol `multi', then the buffer will be
218 added to this menu *and* tested for other menus too. If it returns
219 `no-multi', then the buffer will only be added if it hasn't been added
220 to any other menu.
222 During this test, the buffer in question is the current buffer, and
223 the test is surrounded by calls to `save-excursion' and
224 `save-match-data'.
226 The categories are sorted by MENU-SORT-KEY. Smaller keys are on top.
227 A value of nil means don't display this menu.
229 MENU-TITLE is really a format. If you add %d in it, the %d is
230 replaced with the number of items in that menu.
232 ITEM-HANDLING-FN is optional. If it is supplied and is a function,
233 then it is used for displaying the items in that particular buffer
234 menu, otherwise the function pointed out by
235 `msb-item-handling-function' is used.
237 ITEM-SORT-FN is also optional.
238 If it is not supplied, the function pointed out by
239 `msb-item-sort-function' is used.
240 If it is nil, then no sort takes place and the buffers are presented
241 in least-recently-used order.
242 If it is t, then no sort takes place and the buffers are presented in
243 most-recently-used order.
244 If it is supplied and non-nil and not t than it is used for sorting
245 the items in that particular buffer menu.
247 Note1: There should always be a `catch-all' as last element, in this
248 list. That is an element like (t TITLE ITEM-HANDLING-FUNCTION).
249 Note2: A buffer menu appears only if it has at least one buffer in it.
250 Note3: If you have a CONDITION that can't be evaluated you will get an
259 "The sort key for files sorted by mode."
266 "Non-nil means use separators.
267 The separators will appear between all menus that have a sorting key
268 that differs by this value or more."
277 "The maximum number of items in a menu.
278 If this variable is set to 15 for instance, then the submenu will be
279 split up in minor parts, 15 items each. A value of nil means no limit."
285 "The maximum number of items from different directories.
287 When the menu is of type `file by directory', this is the maximum
288 number of buffers that are clumped together from different
289 directories.
291 Set this to 1 if you want one menu per directory instead of clumping
292 them together.
294 If the value is not a number, then the value 10 is used."
300 "Where should the menu with the most recently used buffers be placed?"
306 "How many buffers should be in the most-recently-used menu.
307 No buffers at all if less than 1 or nil (or any non-number)."
313 "The title for the most-recently-used menu."
322 "Show invisible buffers or not.
323 Non-nil means that the buffer menu should include buffers that have
324 names that starts with a space character."
330 "The appearance of a buffer menu.
332 The default function to call for handling the appearance of a menu
333 item. It should take two arguments, BUFFER and MAX-BUFFER-NAME-LENGTH,
334 where the latter is the max length of all buffer names.
336 The function should return the string to use in the menu.
338 When the function is called, BUFFER is the current buffer. This
339 function is called for items in the variable `msb-menu-cond' that have
340 nil as ITEM-HANDLING-FUNCTION. See `msb-menu-cond' for more
344 "The order of items in a buffer menu.
346 The default function to call for handling the order of items in a menu
347 item. This function is called like a sort function. The items look
348 like (ITEM-NAME . BUFFER).
350 ITEM-NAME is the name of the item that will appear in the menu.
