2002-01-07 Michael Kifer <[e-mail]> * viper-init.el (viper-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs): new macro that replaces viper-emacs-p and viper-xemacs-p in many cases. Used to reduce the number of warnings. * viper-cmd.el: use viper-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. (viper-standard-value): moved here from viper.el. (viper-set-unread-command-events): moved to viper-util.el (viper-check-minibuffer-overlay): make sure viper-minibuffer-overlay is moved to cover the entire input field. * viper-util.el: use viper-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. (viper-read-key-sequence, viper-set-unread-command-events, viper-char-symbol-sequence-p, viper-char-array-p): moved here. * viper-ex.el: use viper-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. * viper-keym.el: use viper-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. * viper-mous.el: use viper-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. * viper-macs.el (viper-char-array-p, viper-char-symbol-sequence-p, viper-event-vector-p): moved to viper-util.el * viper.el (viper-standard-value): moved to viper-cmd.el. Use viper-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. * ediff-help.el: use ediff-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. * ediff-hook.el: use ediff-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. * ediff-init.el (ediff-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs): new macro designed to be used in many places where ediff-emacs-p or ediff-xemacs-p was previously used. Reduces the number of warnings. Use ediff-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs in many places in lieue of ediff-xemacs-p. (ediff-make-current-diff-overlay, ediff-highlight-diff-in-one-buffer, ediff-convert-fine-diffs-to-overlays, ediff-empty-diff-region-p, ediff-whitespace-diff-region-p, ediff-get-region-contents): moved to ediff-util.el. (ediff-event-key): moved here. * ediff-merge.el: got rid of unreferenced variables. * ediff-mult.el: use ediff-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. * ediff-util.el: use ediff-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. (ediff-cleanup-mess): improved the way windows are set up after quitting ediff. (ediff-janitor): use ediff-dispose-of-variant-according-to-user. (ediff-dispose-of-variant-according-to-user): new function designed to be smarter and also understands indirect buffers. (ediff-highlight-diff-in-one-buffer, ediff-unhighlight-diff-in-one-buffer, ediff-unhighlight-diffs-totally-in-one-buffer, ediff-highlight-diff, ediff-highlight-diff, ediff-unhighlight-diff, ediff-unhighlight-diffs-totally, ediff-empty-diff-region-p, ediff-whitespace-diff-region-p, ediff-get-region-contents, ediff-make-current-diff-overlay): moved here. (ediff-format-bindings-of): new function by Hannu Koivisto <[e-mail]>. (ediff-setup): make sure the merge buffer is always widened and modifiable. (ediff-write-merge-buffer-and-maybe-kill): refuse to write the result of a merge into a file visited by another buffer. (ediff-arrange-autosave-in-merge-jobs): check if the merge file is visited by another buffer and ask to save/delete that buffer. (ediff-verify-file-merge-buffer): new function to do the above. * ediff-vers.el: load ediff-init.el at compile time. * ediff-wind.el: use ediff-cond-compile-for-xemacs-or-emacs. * ediff.el (ediff-windows, ediff-regions-wordwise, ediff-regions-linewise): use indirect buffers to improve robustness and make it possible to compare regions of the same buffer (even overlapping regions). (ediff-clone-buffer-for-region-comparison, ediff-clone-buffer-for-window-comparison): new functions. (ediff-files-internal): refuse to compare identical files. (ediff-regions-internal): get rid of the warning about comparing regions of the same buffer. * ediff-diff.el (ediff-convert-fine-diffs-to-overlays): moved here. Plus the following fixes courtesy of Dave Love: Doc fixes. (ediff-word-1): Use word class and move - to the front per regexp documentation. (ediff-wordify): Bind forward-word-function outside loop. (ediff-copy-to-buffer): Use insert-buffer-substring rather than consing buffer contents. (ediff-goto-word): Move syntax table setting outside loop.

Please specify your level of familiarity with the venomous VI PERil

You can change it at any time by typing `M-x viper-set-expert-level RET'

 1 -- BEGINNER: Almost all Emacs features are suppressed.
       Feels almost like straight Vi.  File name completion and
       command history in the minibuffer are thrown in as a bonus.
       To use Emacs productively, you must reach level 3 or higher.
 2 -- MASTER: C-c now has its standard Emacs meaning in Vi command state,
       so most Emacs commands can be used when Viper is in Vi state.
       Good progress---you are well on the way to level 3!
 3 -- GRAND MASTER: Like 3, but most Emacs commands are available also
       in Viper's insert state.
 4 -- GURU: Like 3, but user settings are respected for viper-no-multiple-ESC,
       viper-ex-style-motion, viper-ex-style-editing, and
       viper-re-search variables.  Adjust these settings to your taste.
 5 -- WIZARD: Like 4, but user settings are also respected for viper-always,
       viper-electric-mode, viper-want-ctl-h-help, viper-want-emacs-keys-in-vi,
       and viper-want-emacs-keys-in-insert.  Adjust these to your taste.

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES
------------------------------

Before reporting a bug, please verify that it is related to Viper, and is
not cause by other packages you are using.

Don't report compilation warnings, unless you are certain that there is a
problem.  These warnings are normal and unavoidable.

Please note that users should not modify variables and keymaps other than
those advertised in the manual.  Such `customization' is likely to crash
Viper, as it would any other improperly customized Emacs package.

If you are reporting an error message received while executing one of the
Viper commands, type:

    M-x set-variable <Return> debug-on-error <Return> t <Return>

Then reproduce the error.  The above command will cause Emacs to produce a
back trace of the execution that leads to the error.  Please include this
trace in your bug report.

If you believe that one of Viper's commands goes into an infinite loop
\(e.g., Emacs freezes\), type:

    M-x set-variable <Return> debug-on-quit <Return> t <Return>

Then reproduce the problem.  Wait for a few seconds, then type C-g to abort
the current command.  Include the resulting back trace in the bug report.
