;;{{{ Documentation

;; `Follow mode' is a minor mode for Emacs and XEmacs that
;; combines windows into one tall virtual window.
;;
;; The feeling of a "virtual window" has been accomplished by the use
;; of two major techniques:
;;
;; * The windows always display adjacent sections of the buffer.
;;   This means that whenever one window is moved, all the
;;   others will follow.  (Hence the name Follow mode.)
;;
;; * Should the point (cursor) end up outside a window, another
;;   window displaying that point is selected, if possible.  This
;;   makes it possible to walk between windows using normal cursor
;;   movement commands.
;;
;; Follow mode comes to its prime when a large screen and two
;; side-by-side window are used.  The user can, with the help of Follow
;; mode, use two full-height windows as though they are one.
;; Imagine yourself editing a large function, or section of text,
;; and being able to use 144 lines instead of the normal 72... (your
;; mileage may vary).

;; To test this package, make sure `follow' is loaded, or will be
;; autoloaded when activated (see below).  Then do the following:
;;
;; * Find your favorite file (preferably a long one).
;;
;; * Resize Emacs so that it will be wide enough for two full size
;;   columns.  Delete the other windows and split the window with
;;   the commands `C-x 1 C-x 3'.
;;
;; * Give the command:
;;	M-x follow-mode <RETURN>
;;
;; * Now the display should look something like (assuming the text "71"
;;   is on line 71):
;;
;;		    +----------+----------+
;;		    |1         |73        |
;;		    |2         |74        |
;;		    |3         |75        |
;;		         ...        ...
;;		    |71        |143       |
;;		    |72        |144       |
;;		    +----------+----------+
;;
;;   As you can see, the right-hand window starts at line 73, the line
;;   immediately below the end of the left-hand window.  As long as
;;   `follow-mode' is active, the two windows will follow each other!
;;
;; * Play around and enjoy! Scroll one window and watch the other.
;;   Jump to the beginning or end.  Press `Cursor down' at the last
;;   line of the left-hand window.  Enter new lines into the
;;   text.  Enter long lines spanning several lines, or several
;;   windows.
;;
;; * Should you find `Follow' mode annoying, just type
;;	M-x follow-mode <RETURN>
;;   to turn it off.


;; The command `follow-delete-other-windows-and-split' maximises the
;; visible area of the current buffer.
;;
;; I recommend adding it, and `follow-mode', to hotkeys in the global
;; key map.  To do so, add the following lines (replacing `[f7]' and
;; `[f8]' with your favorite keys) to the init file:
;;
;; (global-set-key [f8] 'follow-mode)
;; (global-set-key [f7] 'follow-delete-other-windows-and-split)


;; There exist two system variables that control the appearence of
;; lines wider than the window containing them.  The default is to
;; truncate long lines whenever a window isn't as wide as the frame.
;;
;; To make sure lines are never truncated, please place the following
;; lines in your init file:
;;
;; (setq truncate-lines nil)
;; (setq truncate-partial-width-windows nil)


;; Since the display of XEmacs is pixel-oriented, a line could be
;; clipped in half at the bottom of the window.
;;
;; To make XEmacs avoid clipping (normal) lines, please place the
;; following line in your init-file:
;;
;; (setq pixel-vertical-clip-threshold 30)


;; The correct way to cofigurate Follow mode, or any other mode for
;; that matter, is to create one or more functions that do
;; whatever you would like to do.  These functions are then added to
;; a hook.
;;
;; When `Follow' mode is activated, functions stored in the hook
;; `follow-mode-hook' are called.  When it is deactivated
;; `follow-mode-off-hook' is run.
;;
;; The keymap `follow-key-map' contains key bindings activated by
;; `follow-mode'.
;;
;; Example:
;; (add-hook 'follow-mode-hook 'my-follow-mode-hook)
;;
;; (defun my-follow-mode-hook ()
;;    (define-key follow-mode-map "\C-ca" 'your-favorite-function)
;;    (define-key follow-mode-map "\C-cb" 'another-function))


;; Usage:
;;
;; To activate, issue the command "M-x follow-mode"
;; and press Return.  To deactivate, do it again.
;;
;; The following is a list of commands useful when follow-mode is active.
;;
;;	follow-scroll-up			 C-c . C-v
;;		Scroll text in a Follow mode window chain up.
;;
;;	follow-scroll-down			 C-c . v
;;		Like `follow-scroll-up', but in the other direction.
;;
;;	follow-delete-other-windows-and-split	 C-c . 1
;;		Maximize the visible area of the current buffer,
;;		and enter Follow mode. 	This is a very convenient
;;		way to start Follow mode, hence we recomend that
;;		this command be added to the global keymap.
;;
;;	follow-recenter				 C-c . C-l
;;		Place the point in the center of the middle window,
;;		or a specified number of lines from either top or bottom.
;;
;;	follow-switch-to-buffer			 C-c . b
;;		Switch buffer in all windows displaying the current buffer
;;		in this frame.
;;
;;	follow-switch-to-buffer-all		 C-c . C-b
;;		Switch buffer in all windows in the selected frame.
;;
;;	follow-switch-to-current-buffer-all
;;		Show the current buffer in all windows on the current
;;		frame and turn on `follow-mode'.
;;
;;	follow-first-window			 C-c . <
;;		Select the first window in the frame showing the same buffer.
;;
;;	follow-last-window			 C-c . >
;;		Select the last window in the frame showing the same buffer.
;;
;;	follow-next-window			 C-c . n
;;		Select the next window in the frame showing the same buffer.
;;
;;	follow-previous-window			 C-c . p
;;		Select the previous window showing the same buffer.


;; Well, it seems ok, but what if I really want to look at two different
;; positions in the text? Here are two simple methods to use:
;;
;; 1) Use multiple frames; `follow' mode only affects windows displayed
;;    in the same frame. (My apoligies to you who can't use frames.)
;;
;; 2) Bind `follow-mode' to key so you can turn it off whenever
;;    you want to view two locations.  Of course, `follow' mode can
;;    be reactivated by hitting the same key again.
;;
;;    Example from my ~/.emacs:
;;	(global-set-key [f8] 'follow-mode)


;; Implementation:
;;
;; In an ideal world, follow mode would have been implemented in the
;; kernel of the display routines, making sure that the windows (using
;; follow mode) ALWAYS are aligned.  On planet Earth, however, we must
;; accept a solution where we ALMOST ALWAYS can make sure that the
;; windows are aligned.
;;
;; Follow mode does this in three places:
;; 1) After each user command.
;; 2) After a process output has been perfomed.
;; 3) When a scrollbar has been moved.
;;
;; This will cover most situations. (Let me know if there are other
;; situations that should be covered.)
;;
;; Note that only the selected window is checked, for the reason of
;; efficiency and code complexity. (I.e. it is possible to make a
;; non-selected windows unaligned.  It will, however, pop right back
;; when it is selected.)

;;}}}

;;; Code:

;;{{{ Preliminaries

;; Make the compiler shut up!
;; There are two strategies:
;; 1) Shut warnings off completely.
;; 2) Handle each warning separately.
;;
;; Since I would like to see real errors, I've selected the latter
;; method.
;;
;; The problem with undefined variables and functions has been solved
;; by using `set', `symbol-value' and `symbol-function' rather than
;; `setq' and direct references to variables and functions.
;;
;; For example:
;;	(if (boundp 'foo)   ... (symbol-value 'foo) )
;;	(set 'foo ...)   <-- XEmacs doesn't fall for this one.
;;	(funcall (symbol-function 'set) 'bar ...)
;;
;; Note: When this file is interpreted, `eval-when-compile' is
;; evaluted.  Since it doesn't hurt to evaluate it, but it is a bit
;; annoying, we test if the byte-compiler has been loaded.  This can,
;; of course, lead to some occasional unintended evaluation...
;;
;; Should someone come up with a better solution, please let me
;; know.

;;{{{ Tail window handling

;; In Emacs (not XEmacs) windows showing nothing are sometimes
;; recentered.  When in Follow mode, this is not desirable for
;; non-first windows in the window chain.  This section tries to
;; make the windows stay where they should be.
;;
;; If the display is updated, all windows starting at (point-max) are
;; going to be recentered at the next redisplay, unless we do a
;; read-and-write cycle to update the `force' flag inside the windows.
;;
;; In 19.30, a new varible `window-scroll-functions' is called every
;; time a window is recentered.  It is not perfect for our situation,
;; since when it is called for a tail window, it is to late.  However,
;; if it is called for another window, we can try to update our
;; windows.
;;
;; By patching `sit-for' we can make sure that to catch all explicit
;; updates initiated by lisp programs.  Internal calls, on the other
;; hand, are not handled.
;;
;; Please note that the function `follow-avoid-tail-recenter' is also
;; called from other places, e.g. `post-command-hook' and
;; `post-command-idle-hook'.

;; If this function is called it is too late for this window, but
;; we might save other windows from being recentered.
