;;; Commentary:
;; Installation:
-;; To get the functions in this package bound to keys, do
-;; (iswitchb-default-keybindings)
-;;
-;; If you want to use the features of iswitchb, but without rebinding
-;; the keys as above, then you need to add the following hook:
-;; (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'iswitchb-minibuffer-setup)
+;; To get the functions in this package bound to keys, use
+;; M-x iswitchb-mode or customize the option `iswitchb-mode'.
;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers currently matching
-;; the substring are displayed as you type. The list is ordered so
+;; the substring is 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
+;; top of the list. Alternatively, you can use C-s and 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.
;; I also modified a couple of functions from icomplete.el to provide
;; the completion feedback in the minibuffer.
-;;; Example
+;;; 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 list of all the buffers
;;
-;; iswitch {123456,123}
+;; iswitch {123456,123}
;;
;; If I then press 2:
;; iswitch 2[3]{123456,123}
;; 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:
+;; will get "3" added to my input. So, press TAB:
;; iswitch 23{123456,123}
;;
;; At this point, I still have two matching buffers.
;; Case matching: The case of strings when matching can be ignored or
;; used depending on the value of iswitchb-case (default is the same
;; as case-fold-search, normally t). Imagine you have the following
-;; buffers:
+;; buffers:
;;
;; INBOX *info* *scratch*
;;
;;
;; iswitchb-case user input | matching buffers
;; ----------------------------------------------
-;; nil in | *info*
-;; t in | INBOX, *info*
-;; t IN | INBOX
-;; t In | [No match]
+;; nil in | *info*
+;; t in | INBOX, *info*
+;; t IN | INBOX
+;; t In | [No match]
;;; Customisation
;; (setq read-buffer-function 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
;; (This variable should be present in Emacs 20.3+)
;; XEmacs users can get the same behaviour by doing:
-;; (defalias 'read-buffer 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
+;; (defalias 'read-buffer 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
;; since `read-buffer' is defined in lisp.
;; Regexp matching
;; We have the old custom-library, hack around it!
