;;; Commentary:

;;; This package allows the entire contents (or as much as possible) of the
;;; minibuffer to be visible at once when typing.  As the end of a line is
;;; reached, the minibuffer will resize itself.  When the user is done
;;; typing, the minibuffer will return to its original size.

;;; In window systems where it is possible to have a frame in which the
;;; minibuffer is the only window, the frame itself can be resized.  In FSF
;;; GNU Emacs 19.22 and earlier, the frame may not be properly returned to
;;; its original size after it ceases to be active because
;;; `minibuffer-exit-hook' didn't exist until version 19.23.

;;; Note that the minibuffer and echo area are not the same!  They simply
;;; happen to occupy roughly the same place on the frame.  Messages put in
;;; the echo area will not cause any resizing by this package.

;;; This package is considered a minor mode but it doesn't put anything in
;;; minor-mode-alist because this mode is specific to the minibuffer, which
;;; has no mode line.

;;; To use this package, put the following in your .emacs:
;;;
;;;     (autoload 'resize-minibuffer-mode "rsz-mini" nil t)
;;;
;;; Invoking the command `resize-minibuffer-mode' will then enable this mode.
;;; Simply loading this file will enable resize-minibuffer-mode.

;;; Code:


;;;###autoload
(defvar resize-minibuffer-mode nil
  "*If non-`nil', resize the minibuffer so its entire contents are visible.")

;;;###autoload
(defvar resize-minibuffer-window-max-height nil
  "*Maximum size the minibuffer window is allowed to become.
If less than 1 or not a number, the limit is the height of the frame in
which the active minibuffer window resides.")

;;;###autoload
(defvar resize-minibuffer-window-exactly t
  "*If non-`nil', make minibuffer exactly the size needed to display all its contents.
Otherwise, the minibuffer window can temporarily increase in size but
never get smaller while it is active.")


;;;###autoload
(defvar resize-minibuffer-frame nil
  "*If non-`nil' and the active minibuffer is the sole window in its frame, allow changing the frame height.")

;;;###autoload
(defvar resize-minibuffer-frame-max-height nil
  "*Maximum size the minibuffer frame is allowed to become.
If less than 1 or not a number, there is no limit.")

;;;###autoload
(defvar resize-minibuffer-frame-exactly nil
  "*If non-`nil', make minibuffer frame exactly the size needed to display all its contents.
Otherwise, the minibuffer frame can temporarily increase in size but
never get smaller while it is active.")


;;;###autoload
(defun resize-minibuffer-mode (&optional prefix)
  "Enable or disable resize-minibuffer mode.
A negative prefix argument disables this mode.  A positive argument or
argument of 0 enables it.

When this minor mode is enabled, the minibuffer is dynamically resized to
contain the entire region of text put in it as you type.

The variable `resize-minibuffer-mode' is set to t or nil depending on
whether this mode is active or not.

The maximum height to which the minibuffer can grow is controlled by the
variable `resize-minibuffer-window-max-height'.

The variable `resize-minibuffer-window-exactly' determines whether the
minibuffer window should ever be shrunk to make it no larger than needed to
display its contents.

When using a window system, it is possible for a minibuffer to be the sole
window in a frame.  Since that window is already its maximum size, the only
way to make more text visible at once is to increase the size of the frame.
The variable `resize-minibuffer-frame' controls whether this should be
done.  The variables `resize-minibuffer-frame-max-height' and
`resize-minibuffer-frame-exactly' are analogous to their window
counterparts."
