;;; Commentary:

;; A minor mode: "Highlight Changes mode".
;;

;; Highlight Changes mode has 2 submodes: active and passive.
;; When active, changes to the buffer are displayed in a different face.
;; When passive, any existing displayed changes are saved and new ones
;; recorded but are not displayed differently.
;; Why active and passive?  Having the changes visible can be handy when you
;; want the information but very distracting otherwise.  So, you can keep
;; Highlight Changes mode in passive state while you make your changes, toggle
;; it on to active mode to see them, then toggle it back off to avoid
;; distraction.
;;
;; When active, changes are displayed in the `highlight-changes' face.
;; When text is deleted, the following character is displayed in the
;; `highlight-changes-delete' face.
;;
;;
;; You can "age" different sets of changes by using
;; `highlight-changes-rotate-faces'.  This rotates through a series
;; of different faces, so you can distinguish "new" changes from "older"
;; changes.  You can customize these "rotated" faces in two ways.  You can
;; either explicitly define each face by customizing
;; `highlight-changes-face-list'.  If, however, the faces differ from
;; the `highlight-changes' face only in the foreground color, you can simply set
;; `highlight-changes-colors'.  If `highlight-changes-face-list' is nil when
;; the faces are required they will be constructed from
;; `highlight-changes-colors'.
;;
;;
;; When a Highlight Changes mode is on (either active or passive) you can go
;; to the next or previous change with `highlight-changes-next-change' and
;; `highlight-changes-previous-change'.
;;
;;
;; You can also use the command highlight-compare-with-file to show changes
;; in this file compared with another file (typically the previous version
;; of the file).  The command highlight-compare-buffers can be used to
;; compare two buffers.
;;
;;
;; There are currently three hooks run by `highlight-changes-mode':
;; `highlight-changes-enable-hook'  - is run when Highlight Changes mode
;;				    is initially enabled for a buffer.
;; `highlight-changes-disable-hook' - is run when Highlight Changes mode
;;				    is turned off.
;; `highlight-changes-toggle-hook'  - is run each time `highlight-changes-mode'
;;				    is called.  Typically this is when
;;				    toggling between active and passive
;;				    modes.  The variable
;;				    `highlight-changes-mode' contains the new
;;				    state (`active' or `passive'.)
;;
;;
;;
;; Example usage:
;; (defun my-highlight-changes-enable-hook ()
;;   (add-hook 'write-file-functions 'highlight-changes-rotate-faces nil t)
;; )
;;
;; (defun my-highlight-changes-disable-hook ()
;;   (remove-hook 'write-file-functions 'highlight-changes-rotate-faces t)
;; )
;;
;; (add-hook 'highlight-changes-enable-hook 'my-highlight-changes-enable-hook)
;; (add-hook 'highlight-changes-disable-hook
;;		'my-highlight-changes-disable-hook)


;;           Explicit vs. Implicit
;;

;; Normally, Highlight Changes mode is turned on explicitly in a buffer.
;;
;; If you prefer to have it automatically invoked you can do it as
;; follows.
;;
;; 1. Most modes have a major-hook, typically called MODE-hook.  You
;; can use `add-hook' to call `highlight-changes-mode'.
;;
;;   Example:
;;	(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'highlight-changes-mode)
;;
;;  If you want to make it start up in passive mode (regardless of the
;;  setting of highlight-changes-initial-state):
;;      (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook
;; 	    (lambda ()
;; 	      (highlight-changes-mode 'passive)))
;;
;; However, this cannot be done for Fundamental mode for there is no
;; such hook.
;;
;; 2. You can use the function `global-highlight-changes'
;;
;; This function, which is fashioned after the way `global-font-lock' works,
;; toggles on or off global Highlight Changes mode.  When activated, it turns
;; on Highlight Changes mode in all "suitable" existing buffers and will turn
;; it on in new "suitable" buffers to be created.
;;
;; A buffer's "suitability" is determined by variable
;; `highlight-changes-global-modes', as follows.  If the variable is
;; * nil  -- then no buffers are suitable;
;; * a function -- this function is called and the result is used.  As
;;   an example, if the value is `buffer-file-name' then all buffers
;;   who are visiting files are suitable, but others (like dired
;;   buffers) are not;
;; * a list -- then the buffer is suitable if its mode is in the
;;   list, except if the first element is `not', in which case the test
;;   is reversed (i.e. it is a list of unsuitable modes).
;; * Otherwise, the buffer is suitable if its name does not begin with
;;   ` ' or `*' and if `buffer-file-name' returns true.
;;



;;     Possible bindings:
;; (global-set-key '[C-right] 'highlight-changes-next-change)
;; (global-set-key '[C-left]  'highlight-changes-previous-change)
;;
;;     Other interactive functions (which could be bound if desired):
;; highlight-changes-mode
;; highlight-changes-remove-highlight
;; highlight-changes-rotate-faces
;; highlight-compare-with-file
;; highlight-compare-buffers

;;
;; You can automatically rotate faces when the buffer is saved;
;; see function `highlight-changes-rotate-faces' for how to do this.
;;


;;; Bugs:

;; - the next-change and previous-change functions are too literal;
;;   they should find the next "real" change, in other words treat
;;   consecutive changes as one.


;;; To do (maybe), notes, ...

;; - having different faces for deletion and non-deletion: is it
;;   really worth the hassle?
;; - should have better hooks:  when should they be run?
;; - highlight-compare-with-file should allow RCS files - e.g. nice to be
;;   able to say show changes compared with version 2.1.
;; - Maybe we should have compare-with-buffer as well.  (When I tried
;;   a while back I ran into a problem with ediff-buffers-internal.)


;;; History:

;; R Sharman ([e-mail]) Feb 1998:
;; - initial release as change-mode.
;; Jari Aalto <[e-mail]> Mar 1998
;; - fixes for byte compile errors
;; - use eval-and-compile for autoload
;; Marijn Ros <[e-mail]> Mar 98
;; - suggested turning it on by default
;; Eric Ludlam <[e-mail]> Suggested using overlays.
;; July 98
;; - global mode and various stuff added
;; - Changed to use overlays
;; August 98
;; - renamed to Highlight Changes mode.
;; Dec 2003
;; - Use require for ediff stuff
;; - Added highlight-compare-buffers

  If Highlight Changes mode is not enabled, then enable it (in either active
  or passive state as determined by the variable
  `highlight-changes-initial-state'); otherwise, toggle between active
  and passive state.

With an argument ARG:
  If ARG is positive, set state to active;
  If ARG is zero, set state to passive;
  If ARG is negative, disable Highlight Changes mode completely.

Active state  - means changes are shown in a distinctive face.
Passive state - means changes are kept and new ones recorded but are
		not displayed in a different face.

Functions:
\\[highlight-changes-next-change] - move point to beginning of next change
\\[highlight-changes-previous-change] - move to beginning of previous change
\\[highlight-compare-with-file] - mark text as changed by comparing this
	buffer with the contents of a file
\\[highlight-changes-remove-highlight] - remove the change face from the region
\\[highlight-changes-rotate-faces] - rotate different \"ages\" of changes \
through
	various faces

Hook variables:
`highlight-changes-enable-hook'  - when enabling Highlight Changes mode
`highlight-changes-toggle-hook'  - when entering active or passive state
`highlight-changes-disable-hook' - when turning off Highlight Changes mode"

;; `find-file-hook' is called when visiting a file, the new mode is

;; `change-major-mode-hook' is called when a buffer is changing mode.
;; This could be because of finding a file in which case
;; `find-file-hook' has already been called and has done its work.
;; However, it also catches the case where a new mode is being set by
;; the user.  However, it is called from `kill-all-variables' and at
;; this time the mode is the old mode, which is not what we want.
;; So, our function temporarily sets `post-command-hook' which will
;; be called after the buffer has been completely set up (with the new
;; mode).  It then removes the `post-command-hook'.
;; One other wrinkle - every M-x command runs the `change-major-mode-hook'
