30 ;; To get the functions in this package bound to keys, use
31 ;; M-x iswitchb-mode or customize the option `iswitchb-mode'.
33 ;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers currently matching
34 ;; the substring is displayed as you type. The list is ordered so
35 ;; that the most recent buffers visited come at the start of the list.
36 ;; The buffer at the start of the list will be the one visited when
37 ;; you press return. By typing more of the substring, the list is
38 ;; narrowed down so that gradually the buffer you want will be at the
39 ;; top of the list. Alternatively, you can use C-s and C-r to rotate
40 ;; buffer names in the list until the one you want is at the top of
41 ;; the list. Completion is also available so that you can see what is
42 ;; common to all of the matching buffers as you type.
44 ;; This code is similar to a couple of other packages. Michael R Cook
45 ;; <cook@sightpath.com> wrote a similar buffer switching package, but
46 ;; does exact matching rather than substring matching on buffer names.
47 ;; I also modified a couple of functions from icomplete.el to provide
48 ;; the completion feedback in the minibuffer.
52 ;;If I have two buffers called "123456" and "123", with "123456" the
53 ;;most recent, when I use iswitchb, I first of all get presented with
54 ;;the list of all the buffers
56 ;; iswitch {123456,123}
59 ;; iswitch 2[3]{123456,123}
61 ;; The list in {} are the matching buffers, most recent first (buffers
62 ;; visible in the current frame are put at the end of the list by
63 ;; default). At any time I can select the item at the head of the
64 ;; list by pressing RET. I can also bring the put the first element
65 ;; at the end of the list by pressing C-s, or put the last element at
66 ;; the head of the list by pressing C-r. The item in [] indicates
67 ;; what can be added to my input by pressing TAB. In this case, I
68 ;; will get "3" added to my input. So, press TAB:
69 ;; iswitch 23{123456,123}
71 ;; At this point, I still have two matching buffers.
72 ;; If I want the first buffer in the list, I simply press RET. If I
73 ;; wanted the second in the list, I could press C-s to move it to the
74 ;; top of the list and then RET to select it.
76 ;;However, If I type 4, I only have one match left:
77 ;; iswitch 234[123456] [Matched]
79 ;;Since there is only one matching buffer left, it is given in [] and we
80 ;;see the text [Matched] afterwards. I can now press TAB or RET to go
83 ;; If however, I now type "a":
84 ;; iswitch 234a [No match]
85 ;; There are no matching buffers. If I press RET or TAB, I can be
86 ;; prompted to create a new buffer called "234a".
88 ;; Of course, where this function comes in really useful is when you
89 ;; can specify the buffer using only a few keystrokes. In the above
90 ;; example, the quickest way to get to the "123456" buffer would be
91 ;; just to type 4 and then RET (assuming there isn't any newer buffer
92 ;; with 4 in its name).
94 ;; To see a full list of all matching buffers in a separate buffer,
95 ;; hit ? or press TAB when there are no further completions to the
96 ;; substring. Repeated TAB presses will scroll you through this
99 ;; The buffer at the head of the list can be killed by pressing C-k.
100 ;; If the buffer needs saving, you will be queried before the buffer
103 ;; If you find that the file you are after is not in a buffer, you can
104 ;; press C-x C-f to immediately drop into find-file.
107 ;; See the doc string of iswitchb for full keybindings and features.
108 ;; (describe-function 'iswitchb)
110 ;; Case matching: The case of strings when matching can be ignored or
111 ;; used depending on the value of iswitchb-case (default is the same
112 ;; as case-fold-search, normally t). Imagine you have the following
115 ;; INBOX *info* *scratch*
117 ;; Then these will be the matching buffers, depending on how you type
118 ;; the two letters `in' and the value of iswitchb-case:
120 ;; iswitchb-case user input | matching buffers
121 ;; ----------------------------------------------
123 ;; t in | INBOX, *info*
129 ;; See the User Variables section below for easy ways to change the
130 ;; functionality of the program. These are accessible using the
132 ;; To modify the keybindings, use the hook provided. For example:
133 ;;(add-hook 'iswitchb-define-mode-map-hook
134 ;; 'iswitchb-my-keys)
136 ;;(defun iswitchb-my-keys ()
137 ;; "Add my keybindings for iswitchb."
138 ;; (define-key iswitchb-mode-map " " 'iswitchb-next-match)
141 ;; Seeing all the matching buffers
143 ;; If you have many matching buffers, they may not all fit onto one
144 ;; line of the minibuffer. In Emacs 21, the variable
145 ;; `resize-mini-windows' controls how many lines of the minibuffer can
146 ;; be seen. For older versions of emacs, you can use
147 ;; `resize-minibuffer-mode'. You can also limit iswitchb so that it
148 ;; only shows a certain number of lines -- see the documentation for
149 ;; `iswitchb-minibuffer-setup-hook'.
151 ;; Changing the list of buffers
153 ;; By default, the list of current buffers is most recent first,
154 ;; oldest last, with the exception that the buffers visible in the
155 ;; current frame are put at the end of the list. A hook exists to
156 ;; allow other functions to order the list. For example, if you add:
158 ;; (add-hook 'iswitchb-make-buflist-hook 'iswitchb-summaries-to-end)
160 ;; then all buffers matching "Summary" are moved to the end of the
161 ;; list. (I find this handy for keeping the INBOX Summary and so on
162 ;; out of the way.) It also moves buffers matching "output\*$" to the
163 ;; end of the list (these are created by AUC TeX when compiling.)
164 ;; Other functions could be made available which alter the list of
165 ;; matching buffers (either deleting or rearranging elements.)
169 ;; If you have font-lock loaded, the first matching buffer is
170 ;; highlighted. To switch this off, set (setq iswitchb-use-fonts nil)
171 ;; I don't use font-lock that much, so I've hardcoded the faces. If
172 ;; this is too harsh, let me know. Colouring of the matching buffer
173 ;; name was suggested by Carsten Dominik (dominik@strw.leidenuniv.nl)
175 ;; Replacement for read-buffer
177 ;; iswitchb-read-buffer has been written to be a drop in replacement
178 ;; for the normal buffer selection routine `read-buffer'. To use
179 ;; iswitch for all buffer selections in Emacs, add:
180 ;; (setq read-buffer-function 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
181 ;; (This variable should be present in Emacs 20.3+)
182 ;; XEmacs users can get the same behaviour by doing:
183 ;; (defalias 'read-buffer 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
184 ;; since `read-buffer' is defined in lisp.
188 ;; There is limited provision for regexp matching within iswitchb,
189 ;; enabled through `iswitchb-regexp'. This allows you to type `c$'
190 ;; for example and see all buffer names ending in `c'. This facility
191 ;; is quite limited though in two respects. First, you can't
192 ;; currently type in expressions like `[0-9]' directly -- you have to
193 ;; type them in when iswitchb-regexp is nil and then toggle on the
194 ;; regexp functionality. Likewise, don't enter an expression
195 ;; containing `\' in regexp mode. If you try, iswitchb gets confused,
196 ;; so just hit C-g and try again. Secondly, no completion mechanism
197 ;; is currently offered when regexp searching.

204 ;; first version of this package, iswitch-buffer. Thanks also to many
205 ;; others for testing earlier versions.
