annotate lisp/iswitchb.el @ 18092:8428d56cd207

(smtpmail-via-smtp): Recognize XVRB as a synonym for VERB and XONE as a synonym for ONEX. (smtpmail-read-response): Add "%s" to `message' calls to avoid problems with percent signs in strings. (smtpmail-read-response): Return all lines of the response text as a list of strings. Formerly only the first line was returned. This is insufficient when one wants to parse e.g. an EHLO response. Ignore responses starting with "0". This is necessary to support the VERB SMTP extension. (smtpmail-via-smtp): Try EHLO and find out which SMTP service extensions the receiving mailer supports. Issue the ONEX and XUSR commands if the corresponding extensions are supported. Issue VERB if supported and `smtpmail-debug-info' is non-nil. Add SIZE attribute to MAIL FROM: command if SIZE extension is supported. Add code that could set the BODY= attribute to MAIL FROM: if the receiving mailer supports 8BITMIME. This is currently disabled, since doing it right might involve adding MIME headers to, and in some cases reencoding, the message.

;;; Installation:

;; To get the functions in this package bound to keys, do
;; (iswitchb-default-keybindings)

;;; Commentary:

;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers currently matching
;; the substring are displayed as you type.  The list is ordered so
;; that the most recent buffers visited come at the start of the list.
;; The buffer at the start of the list will be the one visited when
;; you press return.  By typing more of the substring, the list is
;; narrowed down so that gradually the buffer you want will be at the
;; top of the list.  Alternatively, you can use C-s an C-r to rotate
;; buffer names in the list until the one you want is at the top of
;; the list.  Completion is also available so that you can see what is
;; common to all of the matching buffers as you type.

;; This code is similar to a couple of other packages.  Michael R Cook
;; <[e-mail] wrote a similar buffer switching package, but
;; does exact matching rather than substring matching on buffer names.
;; I also modified a couple of functions from icomplete.el to provide
;; the completion feedback in the minibuffer.

;;; Example 

;;If I have two buffers called "123456" and "123", with "123456" the
;;most recent, when I use iswitchb, I first of all get presented with
;;the default buffer (xxx) to switch to:
;;
;;       iswitch  {default xxx} 
;;
;; If I then press 2:
;;       iswitch 2[3]{123456,123}
;;
;; The list in {} are the matching buffers, most recent first (buffers
;; visible in the current frame are put at the end of the list by
;; default).  At any time I can select the item at the head of the
;; list by pressing RET.  I can also bring the put the first element
;; at the end of the list by pressing C-s, or put the last element at
;; the head of the list by pressing C-r.  The item in [] indicates
;; what can be added to my input by pressing TAB.  In this case, I
;; will get "3" added to my input.  So, press TAB: 
;;	 iswitch 23{123456,123}
;;
;; At this point, I still have two matching buffers.
;; If I want the first buffer in the list, I simply press RET.  If I
;; wanted the second in the list, I could press C-s to move it to the
;; top of the list and then RET to select it.
;;
;;However, If I type 4, I only have one match left:
;;       iswitch 234[123456] [Matched]
;;
;;Since there is only one matching buffer left, it is given in [] and we
;;see the text [Matched] afterwards.  I can now press TAB or RET to go
;;to that buffer.
;;
;; If however, I now type "a":
;;       iswitch 234a [No match]
;; There are no matching buffers.  If I press RET or TAB, I can be
;; prompted to create a new buffer called "234a".
;;
;; Of course, where this function comes in really useful is when you
;; can specify the buffer using only a few keystrokes.  In the above
;; example, the quickest way to get to the "123456" buffer would be
;; just to type 4 and then RET (assuming there isnt any newer buffer
;; with 4 in its name).

;; To see a full list of all matching buffers in a separate buffer,
;; hit ? or press TAB when there are no further completions to the
;; substring.

;;
;;  See the doc string of iswitchb for full keybindings and features.
;;  (describe-function 'iswitchb)

;;; Customisation

;; See the User Variables section below for easy ways to change the
;; functionality of the program.
;; To modify the keybindings, use the hook provided.  For example:
;;(add-hook 'iswitchb-define-mode-map-hook
;;	  'iswitchb-my-keys)
;;
;;(defun iswitchb-my-keys ()
;;  "Add my keybings for iswitchb."
;;  (define-key iswitchb-mode-map " " 'iswitchb-next-match)
;;  )
;;
;; Seeing all the matching buffers.
;; If you have many matching buffers, they may not all fit onto one
;; line of the minibuffer.  In this case, you should use rsz-mini
;; (resize-minibuffer-mode).  You can also limit iswitchb so that it
;; only shows a certain number of lines -- see the documentation for
;; `iswitchb-minibuffer-setup-hook'.


;; Changing the list of buffers.

;; By default, the list of current buffers is most recent first,
;; oldest last, with the exception that the buffers visible in the
;; current frame are put at the end of the list.  A hook exists to
;; allow other functions to order the list.  For example, if you add:
;;
;; (add-hook 'iswitchb-make-buflist-hook 'iswitchb-summaries-to-end)
;;
;; then all buffers matching "Summary" are moved to the end of the
;; list.  (I find this handy for keeping the INBOX Summary and so on
;; out of the way.)  It also moves buffers matching "output\*$" to the
;; end of the list (these are created by AUC TeX when compiling.)
;; Other functions could be made available which alter the list of
;; matching buffers (either deleting or rearranging elements.)

;; Font-Lock

;; If you have font-lock loaded, the first matching buffer is
;; highlighted.  To switch this off, set (setq iswitchb-use-fonts nil)
;; I don't use font-lock that much, so I've hardcoded the faces.  If
;; this is too harsh, let me know.  Colouring of the matching buffer
;; name was suggested by Carsten Dominik ([e-mail])

;;; Comparison with iswitch-buffer

;; This package is a rewrite of iswitch-buffer, using the minibuffer
;; rather than the echo area.  The advantages of using the minibuffer
;; are several:
;; o minibuffer has more powerful editing facilities
;; o doesnt interfere with other packages that use the echo area
;; o *Messages* buffer doesnt get filled up with all of the messages that
;;   go to the modeline
;; o cursor is in the minibuffer, which somehow looks right.
;; o minibuffer can be resized dynamically to show all the possible matching
;;   buffers rather than just the first line's worth (using rsz-mini).
;;
;; Disadvantages:
;; o cant change the prompt to indicate status of searching (eg whether
;;   regexp searching is currently on).

;; others for testing earlier versions.

;;; THINGS TO DO / BUGS

;; In Xemacs, the default buffer is not shown the first time you enter
; the minibuffer, but if you type a char and then delete a char, the
; default appears.  The first time we enter the minibuffer in XEmacs,
; the default msg is not displayed, presumably because the hook is not
; being called.  I have put in a temporary hack therefore at the
; bottom of this file.  
;
; There is also a problem with the backspace key in XEmacs, so I have
; bound it to the normal backward-delete-char.

;; iswitch-buffer features Not yet implemented:
;  C-f Quit iswitch and drop into find-file


;; Do we need the variable iswitchb-use-mycompletion?
