2010-04-04 John Wiegley <[e-mail]> * ido.el (ido-use-virtual-buffers): New variable to indicate whether "virtual buffer" support is enabled for IDO. Essentially it works as follows: Say you are visiting a file and the buffer gets cleaned up by mignight.el. Later, you want to switch to that buffer, but find it's no longer open. With virtual buffers enabled, the buffer name stays in the buffer list (using the ido-virtual face, and always at the end), and if you select it, it opens the file back up again. This allows you to think less about whether recently opened files are still open or not. Most of the time you can quit Emacs, restart, and then switch to a file buffer that was previously open as if it still were. NOTE: This feature has been present in iswitchb for several years now, and I'm porting the same logic to IDO. (ido-virtual): Face used to indicate virtual buffers in the list. (ido-buffer-internal): If a buffer is chosen, and no such buffer exists, but a virtual buffer of that name does (which would be why it was in the list), recreate the buffer by reopening the file. (ido-make-buffer-list): If virtual buffers are being used, call `ido-add-virtual-buffers-to-list' before the make list hook. (ido-virtual-buffers): New variable which contains a copy of the current contents of the `recentf-list', albeit pared down for the sake of speed, and with proper faces applied. (ido-add-virtual-buffers-to-list): Using the `recentf-list', create a list of "virtual buffers" to present to the user in addition to the currently open set. Note that this logic could get rather slow if that list is too large. With the default `recentf-max-saved-items' of 200, there is little speed penalty.

;;; Commentary:

;; Support for random cookie fetches from phrase files, used for such
;; critical applications as emulating Zippy the Pinhead and confounding
;; the NSA Trunk Trawler.
;;
;; The two entry points are `cookie' and `cookie-insert'.  The helper
;; function `shuffle-vector' may be of interest to programmers.
;;
;; The code expects phrase files to be in one of two formats:
;;
;; * ITS-style LINS format (strings terminated by ASCII 0 characters,
;; leading whitespace ignored).
;;
;; * UNIX fortune file format (quotes terminated by %% on a line by itself).
;;
;; Everything up to the first delimiter is treated as a comment.  Other
;; formats could be supported by adding alternates to the regexp
;; `cookie-delimiter'.
;;
;; strfile(1) is the program used to compile the files for fortune(6).
;; In order to achieve total compatibility with strfile(1), cookie files
;; should start with two consecutive delimiters (and no comment).
;;
;; This code derives from Steve Strassman's 1987 spook.el package, but
;; has been generalized so that it supports multiple simultaneous
;; cookie databases and fortune files.  It is intended to be called
;; from other packages such as yow.el and spook.el.
