  30 ;; Installation:
  31 ;; To get the functions in this package bound to keys, use
  32 ;; M-x iswitchb-mode or customize the option `iswitchb-mode'.
  33 ;; Alternatively, add the following line to your .emacs:
  34 ;; (iswitchb-mode 1)
  35
  36 ;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers currently matching
  37 ;; the substring is displayed as you type.  The list is ordered so
  38 ;; that the most recent buffers visited come at the start of the list.
  39 ;; The buffer at the start of the list will be the one visited when
  40 ;; you press return.  By typing more of the substring, the list is
  41 ;; narrowed down so that gradually the buffer you want will be at the
  42 ;; top of the list.  Alternatively, you can use C-s and C-r to rotate
  43 ;; buffer names in the list until the one you want is at the top of
  44 ;; the list.  Completion is also available so that you can see what is
  45 ;; common to all of the matching buffers as you type.
  46
  47 ;; This code is similar to a couple of other packages.  Michael R Cook
  48 ;; <cook@sightpath.com> wrote a similar buffer switching package, but
  49 ;; does exact matching rather than substring matching on buffer names.
  50 ;; I also modified a couple of functions from icomplete.el to provide
  51 ;; the completion feedback in the minibuffer.
  52
  53 ;;; Example
  54
  55 ;; If I have two buffers called "123456" and "123", with "123456" the
  56 ;; most recent, when I use iswitchb, I first of all get presented with
  57 ;; the list of all the buffers
  58 ;;
  59 ;;       iswitch  {123456,123}
  60 ;;
  61 ;; If I then press 2:
  62 ;;       iswitch 2[3]{123456,123}
  63 ;;
  64 ;; The list in {} are the matching buffers, most recent first (buffers
  65 ;; visible in the current frame are put at the end of the list by
  66 ;; default).  At any time I can select the item at the head of the
  67 ;; list by pressing RET.  I can also put the first element at the end
  68 ;; of the list by pressing C-s, or put the last element at the head of
  69 ;; the list by pressing C-r.  The item in [] indicates what can be
  70 ;; added to my input by pressing TAB.  In this case, I will get "3"
  71 ;; added to my input.  So, press TAB:
  72 ;;       iswitch 23{123456,123}
  73 ;;
  74 ;; At this point, I still have two matching buffers.
  75 ;; If I want the first buffer in the list, I simply press RET.  If I
  76 ;; wanted the second in the list, I could press C-s to move it to the
  77 ;; top of the list and then RET to select it.
  78 ;;
  79 ;; However, if I type 4, I only have one match left:
  80 ;;       iswitch 234[123456] [Matched]
  81 ;;
  82 ;; Since there is only one matching buffer left, it is given in [] and we
  83 ;; see the text [Matched] afterwards.  I can now press TAB or RET to go
  84 ;; to that buffer.
  85 ;;
  86 ;; If however, I now type "a":
  87 ;;       iswitch 234a [No match]
  88 ;; There are no matching buffers.  If I press RET or TAB, I can be
  89 ;; prompted to create a new buffer called "234a".
  90 ;;
  91 ;; Of course, where this function comes in really useful is when you
  92 ;; can specify the buffer using only a few keystrokes.  In the above
  93 ;; example, the quickest way to get to the "123456" buffer would be
  94 ;; just to type 4 and then RET (assuming there isn't any newer buffer
  95 ;; with 4 in its name).
  96
  97 ;; To see a full list of all matching buffers in a separate buffer,
  98 ;; hit ? or press TAB when there are no further completions to the
  99 ;; substring.  Repeated TAB presses will scroll you through this
 100 ;; separate buffer.
 101
 102 ;; The buffer at the head of the list can be killed by pressing C-k.
 103 ;; If the buffer needs saving, you will be queried before the buffer
 104 ;; is killed.
 105
 106 ;; If you find that the file you are after is not in a buffer, you can
 107 ;; press C-x C-f to immediately drop into find-file.
 108
 109 ;; See the doc string of iswitchb for full keybindings and features.
 110 ;; (describe-function 'iswitchb)
 111
 112 ;; Case matching: The case of strings when matching can be ignored or
 113 ;; used depending on the value of iswitchb-case (default is the same
 114 ;; as case-fold-search, normally t).  Imagine you have the following
 115 ;; buffers:
 116 ;;
 117 ;; INBOX *info* *scratch*
 118 ;;
 119 ;; Then these will be the matching buffers, depending on how you type
 120 ;; the two letters `in' and the value of iswitchb-case:
 121 ;;
 122 ;; iswitchb-case   user input  | matching buffers
 123 ;; ----------------------------------------------
 124 ;; nil             in          | *info*
 125 ;; t               in          | INBOX, *info*
 126 ;; t               IN          | INBOX
 127 ;; t               In          | [No match]
 128
 129 ;;; Customisation
 130
 131 ;; See the User Variables section below for easy ways to change the
 132 ;; functionality of the program.  These are accessible using the
 133 ;; custom package.
 134 ;; To modify the keybindings, use something like:
 135 ;;
 136 ;;(add-hook 'iswitchb-mode-hook 'iswitchb-my-keys)
 137 ;;(defun iswitchb-my-keys ()
 138 ;;  "Add my keybindings for iswitchb."
 139 ;;  (define-key iswitchb-mode-map " " 'iswitchb-next-match))
 140 ;;
 141 ;; Seeing all the matching buffers
 142 ;;
 143 ;; If you have many matching buffers, they may not all fit onto one
 144 ;; line of the minibuffer.  In Emacs 21, the variable
 145 ;; `resize-mini-windows' controls how many lines of the minibuffer can
 146 ;; be seen.  For older versions of emacs, you can use
 147 ;; `resize-minibuffer-mode'.  You can also limit iswitchb so that it
 148 ;; only shows a certain number of lines -- see the documentation for
 149 ;; `iswitchb-minibuffer-setup-hook'.
 150
 151 ;; Changing the list of buffers
 152
 153 ;; By default, the list of current buffers is most recent first,
 154 ;; oldest last, with the exception that the buffers visible in the
 155 ;; current frame are put at the end of the list.  A hook exists to
 156 ;; allow other functions to order the list.  For example, if you add:
 157 ;;
 158 ;; (add-hook 'iswitchb-make-buflist-hook 'iswitchb-summaries-to-end)
 159 ;;
 160 ;; then all buffers matching "Summary" are moved to the end of the
 161 ;; list.  (I find this handy for keeping the INBOX Summary and so on
 162 ;; out of the way.)  It also moves buffers matching "output\*$" to the
 163 ;; end of the list (these are created by AUCTeX when compiling.)
 164 ;; Other functions could be made available which alter the list of
 165 ;; matching buffers (either deleting or rearranging elements.)
 166
 167 ;; Font-Lock
 168
 169 ;; font-lock is used to highlight the first matching buffer.  To
 170 ;; switch this off, set (setq iswitchb-use-faces nil).  Colouring of
 171 ;; the matching buffer name was suggested by Carsten Dominik
 172 ;; (dominik@strw.leidenuniv.nl)
 173
 174 ;; Replacement for read-buffer
 175
 176 ;; iswitchb-read-buffer has been written to be a drop in replacement
 177 ;; for the normal buffer selection routine `read-buffer'.  To use
 178 ;; iswitch for all buffer selections in Emacs, add:
 179 ;; (setq read-buffer-function 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
 180 ;; (This variable was introduced in Emacs 20.3.)
 181 ;; XEmacs users can get the same behaviour by doing:
 182 ;; (defalias 'read-buffer 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
 183 ;; since `read-buffer' is defined in lisp.
 184
 185 ;; Using iswitchb for other completion tasks.
 186
 187 ;; Kin Cho (kin@neoscale.com) sent the following suggestion to use
 188 ;; iswitchb for other completion tasks.
 189 ;;
 190 ;; (defun my-icompleting-read (prompt choices)
 191 ;;   "Use iswitch as a completing-read replacement to choose from
 192 ;; choices.  PROMPT is a string to prompt with.  CHOICES is a list of
 193 ;; strings to choose from."
 194 ;;   (let ((iswitchb-make-buflist-hook
 195 ;;          (lambda ()
 196 ;;            (setq iswitchb-temp-buflist choices))))
 197 ;;     (iswitchb-read-buffer prompt)))
 198 ;;
 199 ;; example:
 200 ;; (my-icompleting-read "Which fruit? " '
 201 ;;                   ("apple" "pineapple" "pear" "bananas" "oranges") )
 202
 203 ;; Kin Cho also suggested the following defun.  Once you have a subset of
 204 ;; matching buffers matching your current prompt, you can then press
 205 ;; e.g. C-o to restrict matching to those buffers and clearing the prompt:
 206 ;; (defun iswitchb-exclude-nonmatching()
 207 ;;    "Make iswitchb work on only the currently matching names."
 208 ;;    (interactive)
 209 ;;    (setq iswitchb-buflist iswitchb-matches)
 210 ;;    (setq iswitchb-rescan t)
 211 ;;    (delete-minibuffer-contents))
 212 ;;
 213 ;; (add-hook 'iswitchb-define-mode-map-hook
 214 ;;        '(lambda () (define-key
 215 ;;                      iswitchb-mode-map "\C-o"
 216 ;;                      'iswitchb-exclude-nonmatching)))
 217
 218 ;; Other lisp packages extend iswitchb behaviour to other tasks.  See
 219 ;; ido.el (by Kim Storm) and mcomplete.el (Yuji Minejima).
 220
 221 ;; Window managers: Switching frames/focus follows mouse; Sawfish.
 222
 223 ;; If you switch to a buffer that is visible in another frame,
 224 ;; iswitchb can switch focus to that frame.  If your window manager
 225 ;; uses "click to focus" policy for window selection, you should also
 226 ;; set focus-follows-mouse to nil.
 227
 228 ;; iswitch functionality has also been implemented for switching
 229 ;; between windows in the Sawfish window manager.
 230
 231 ;; Regexp matching
 232
 233 ;; There is provision for regexp matching within iswitchb, enabled
 234 ;; through `iswitchb-regexp'.  This allows you to type `c$' for
 235 ;; example and see all buffer names ending in `c'.  No completion
 236 ;; mechanism is currently offered when regexp searching.
