25 ;;; Commentary:
|
|
26 ;;;
|
|
27 ;;; For those who are annoyed by the mouse pointer obscuring text,
|
|
28 ;;; this mode moves the mouse pointer - either just a little out of
|
|
29 ;;; the way, or all the way to the corner of the frame.
|
|
30 ;;; To use, load or evaluate this file and type M-x mouse-avoidance-mode .
|
|
31 ;;; To set up permanently, put this file on your load-path and put the
|
|
32 ;;; following in your .emacs:
|
|
33 ;;;
|
|
34 ;;; (cond (window-system
|
|
35 ;;; (require 'avoid)
|
|
36 ;;; (mouse-avoidance-mode 'cat-and-mouse)))
|
|
37 ;;;
|
6106
|
38 ;;; The 'cat-and-mouse can be
|
|
39 ;;; 'banish or 'jump or 'animate or 'proteus if you prefer.
|
5745
|
40 ;;; See the documentation for function `mouse-avoidance-mode' for
|
|
41 ;;; details of the different modes.
|
5119
|
42 ;;;
|
|
43 ;;; For added silliness, make the animatee animate...
|
|
44 ;;; put something similar to the following into your .emacs:
|
|
45 ;;;
|
|
46 ;;; (cond (window-system
|
|
47 ;;; (setq x-pointer-shape
|
|
48 ;;; (eval (nth (random 4)
|
|
49 ;;; '(x-pointer-man x-pointer-spider
|
|
50 ;;; x-pointer-gobbler x-pointer-gumby))))
|
|
51 ;;; (set-mouse-color (cdr (assoc 'mouse-color (frame-parameters))))))
|
|
52 ;;;
|
|
53 ;;; For completely random pointer shape, replace the setq above with:
|
|
54 ;;; (setq x-pointer-shape (mouse-avoidance-random-shape))
|
|
55 ;;;
|
|
56 ;;; Bugs & Warnings:
|
|
57 ;;;
|
5745
|
58 ;;; - Due to a bug in (mouse-position), this code can cause emacs
|
|
59 ;;; 19.22 to crash when deleting a frame if the mouse has not moved
|
|
60 ;;; since creating the frame. Versions earlier than 19.21 will
|
|
61 ;;; crash more easily; this program should not be used with them.
|
5119
|
62 ;;;
|
|
63 ;;; - Using this code does slow emacs down. "banish" mode shouldn't
|
|
64 ;;; ever be too bad though, and on my workstation even "animate" doesn't
|
|
65 ;;; seem to have a noticable effect.
|
|
66 ;;;
|
|
67 ;;; - There are some situations where it doesn't do what you expect,
|
|
68 ;;; notably when there are long wrapped lines in the buffer. Since
|
|
69 ;;; there is no low-level command for finding point's position
|
|
70 ;;; on the screen, it can fail to move the pointer when on such a line.
|
|
71
|
|
72 ;;; Credits:
|
|
73 ;;; This code was helped by all those who contributed suggestions, fixes, and
|
|
74 ;;; additions:
|
|
75 ;;; Joe Harrington (and his advisor), for the original inspiration
|
|
76 ;;; Ken Manheimer, for dreaming up the Protean mode
|
|
77 ;;; Richard Stallman, for the awful cat-and-mouse pun, among other things
|
|
78 ;;; Mike Williams, Denis Howe, Bill Benedetto, Chris Moore, Don Morris,

218 overlapping frame, it is put back \(until the next keypress).

220 * CAT-AND-MOUSE: Same as `animate'.

221 * PROTEUS: As `animate', but changes the shape of the mouse pointer too.
