-;; ==============
-;;
-;; - *IMPORTANT* `vcursor-key-bindings' is now nil by default, to avoid
-;; side-effects when the package is loaded. This means no keys are
-;; bound by default. Use customize to change it to t to restore
-;; the old behavior. (If you do it by hand in .emacs, it
-;; must come before vcursor is loaded.)
-;; - You can alter the main variables and the vcursor face via
-;; M-x customize: go to the Editing group and find Vcursor.
-;; - `vcursor-auto-disable' can now be 'copy (actually any value not nil
-;; or t), which means that copying from the vcursor will be turned
-;; off after any operation not involving the vcursor, but the
-;; vcursor itself will be left alone.
-;; - works on dumb terminals
-;; - new keymap `vcursor-map' for binding to a prefix key
-;; - `vcursor-compare-windows' substantially improved
-;; - `vcursor-execute-{key,command}' much better about using the
-;; right keymaps and arranging for the correct windows to be used
-;; - `vcursor-window-funcall' can call functions interactively
-;; - `vcursor-interpret-input' for special effects
-;;
-;; Introduction
-;; ============
-;;
-;; Virtual cursor commands. I got this idea from the old BBC micro.
-;; You need a window system for the best effects.
-;;
-;; This is much easier to use than the instructions are to read.
-;; First, you need to let vcursor define some keys: setting
-;; vcursor-key-bindings to t before loading, or by customize, will
-;; define various keys with the prefix C-S. You'll have to read
-;; further if you don't want this. Then I suggest you simply load it
-;; and play around with holding down Ctrl and Shift and pressing up,
-;; down, left, right, tab, return, and see what happens. (Find a
-;; scratch buffer before using C-S-tab: that toggles copying.)
-;;
-;; Most of the functions described in this documentation are in
-;; parentheses so that if you have the package loaded you can type C-h
-;; f on top of them for help.
-;;
-;; Using the cursor keys with both control and shift held down moves
-;; around a virtual cursor, which is initially at point. When active,
-;; it appears with an underline through it to distinguish it from the
-;; normal cursor. You can then use one of the other commands to copy
-;; characters from the location of the virtual cursor to point. This
-;; is very useful, for example, when copying some previous text while
-;; making changes to it at the same time, since you never have to move
-;; the "real" cursor away from where you are inserting.
-;;
-;; The remaining default key bindings are based around the PC-type
-;; cluster found above the cursor keys on a lot of keyboards, the
-;; function keys which my limited knowledge of X terminals expects to
-;; find at the top. Some functions are duplicated in more obvious
-;; places for the X version.
-;;
-;; All the keybindings require you to hold down control and shift at
-;; once. I assumed this combination wouldn't be heavily bound by most
-;; people and that it would be easy to type with the left hand.
-;; Inevitably it will clash with some other packages, but I can't help
-;; that: an intuitive binding is a prerequisite here. See below for
-;; other alternatives (search for "Oemacs"). There is also a keymap
-;; which you can bind to a prefix key, which may give some more
-;; intuitive alternatives in some cases, see `The vcursor keymap' below.
-;;
-;; Holding down control and shift and pressing insert (vcursor-copy)
-;; copies one character from wherever the virtual cursor is to point;
-;; point and the virtual cursor advance in the separate and equal
-;; station to which... (etc.). M-C-S-return (vcursor-copy-line)
-;; copies to the end of the line instead of just one character,
-;; C-S-delete or C-S-remove (vcursor-copy-word) copies a word.
-;;
-;; A more general way of copying is to use C-S-tab, which is a toggle.
-;; In the "on" state, moving the virtual cursor will copy the
-;; moved-over text to the normal cursor position (including when going
-;; backwards, though each piece of text moved over is copied forwards:
-;; compare the behavior of C-S-up and C-S-left).
-;;
-;; However, that's just a small part of the magic. If the virtual
-;; cursor goes off the display, it will be redisplayed in some other
-;; window. (See the function (vcursor-find-window) for details of how
-;; this window is chosen.) This gives you fingertip control over two
-;; windows at once.
-;;
-;; C-S-return (vcursor-disable) disables the virtual cursor, removing
-;; it so that it starts from point whenever you move it again --- note
-;; that simply moving the cursor and virtual cursor on top of one
-;; another does not have this effect.
-;;
-;; If you give C-S-return a positive prefix arg, it will also delete the
-;; window (unless it's the current one). Whenever the virtual cursor
-;; goes off-screen in its own window, point in that window is moved as
-;; well to restore it to view. (It's easier that way, that's why.
-;; However, point doesn't move unless the view in the window does, so
-;; it's not tied to the virtual cursor location.)
-;;
-;; You can also use C-S-return with a negative prefix argument which
-;; forces the vcursor to appear at point. This is particularly useful if
-;; you actually want to edit in another window but would like to
-;; remember the current cursor location for examining or copying from
-;; that buffer. (I just hit C-S-right C-S-left, but I'm a hopeless
-;; lowbrow.)
-;;
-;; There is also C-S-f6 (vcursor-other-window) which behaves like
-;; C-x o on the virtual rather than the real cursor, except that it
-;; will create another window if necessary.
-;;
-;; The keys C-S-prior (vcursor-scroll-down) and C-S-next
-;; (vcursor-scroll-up) (i.e., PageUp and PageDown) will scroll the
-;; virtual cursor window, appropriately chosen. They will always
-;; create a new window or take over an old one if necessary.
-;; Likewise, M-C-S-left and M-C-S-right move you to the
-;; beginning or end of a line, C-S-home and C-S-end the
-;; beginning or end of a buffer (these are also on M-C-S-up and
-;; M-C-S-down for those of us stuck with DEC keyboards).
-;;
-;; C-S-f7 (vcursor-goto) will take you to the vcursor position
-;; (swapping windows if it seems sensible) and (unless you give it a
-;; prefix argument) delete the virtual cursor, so this is useful for
-;; you to take over editing at the virtual cursor position. It is not
-;; an error if the virtual cursor is not active; it simply leaves you
-;; at point, because that is where the virtual cursor would start
-;; from.
-;;
-;; In a similar vein, M-C-S-tab (hope your left hand's flexible;
-;; C-S-select on DEC keyboards) (vcursor-swap-point) will take you to
-;; the virtual cursor position but simultaneously put the virtual
-;; cursor at the old cursor position. It is also supposed to ensure
-;; that both are visible.
-;;
-;; C-S-f8 (C-S-find on DEC keyboards) (vcursor-isearch-forward)
-;; allows you to do an isearch in another window. It works a bit like
-;; vcursor-scroll-*; it moves into another window, calls isearch
-;; there, and sets the virtual cursor position to the point found. In
-;; other words, it works just like isearch but with the virtual cursor
-;; instead of the real one (that's why it's called a "virtual
-;; cursor"). While you are isearching, you are editing in the virtual
-;; cursor window, but when you have finished you return to where you
-;; started. Note that once you are in isearch all the keys are normal
-;; --- use C-s, not C-S-f8, to search for the next occurrence.
-;;
-;; If you set the variable vcursor-auto-disable, then any command
-;; which does not involve moving or copying from the virtual cursor
-;; causes the virtual cursor to be disabled. If you set it to non-nil
-;; but not t, then the vcursor itself will remain active, but copying
-;; will be turned off, so that the next time the vcursor is moved no
-;; text is copied over. Experience shows that this setting is
-;; particularly useful. If you don't intend to use this, you can
-;; comment out the `add-hook' line at the bottom of this file. (This
-;; feature partially emulates the way the "copy" key on the BBC micro
-;; worked; actually, the copy cursor was homed when you hit return.
-;; This was in keeping with the line-by-line way of entering BASIC,
-;; but is less appropriate here.)
-;;
-;; vcursor-compare-windows is now a reliable adaption of
-;; compare-windows, which compares between point in the current buffer
-;; and the vcursor location in the other one. It is an error if
-;; vcursor is not set, however it will be brought up in another window
-;; if it is not currently visible. The prefix argument acts just like
-;; compare-windows, ignoring whitespace if set. (In versions before
-;; 1.6, this simply called compare-windows, which was much less likely
-;; to pick the two windows you wanted.)
-;;
-;; There is a way of moving the virtual cursor using ordinary
-;; commands: C-S-f9 (vcursor-execute-key) reads a key string,
-;; moves to the virtual cursor position, executes the command bound to
-;; the string, then returns to the original point. Thus C-S-f9 M-m
-;; moves the virtual cursor back to the first non-whitespace character
-;; on its line. As the command is called interactively all the usual
-;; ways of passing information to the command called, such as by a
-;; prefix argument, are available. This has many uses not necessarily
-;; related to moving the vcursor itself; it can do essentially
-;; everything that the \C-x 4 series of commands can do and a lot
-;; more. Note, however, that a new window is not used if the vcursor
-;; is visible in the current one: this can lead to some strange effects,
-;; but it is preferable to making a new window every time the vcursor
-;; is moved in this may.
-;;
-;; C-S-f10 (C-S-x) (vcursor-execute-command) behaves the same way but
-;; you enter the name of the command. To do anything really
-;; complicated, you are better off using M-C-S-tab
-;; (vcursor-swap-point), doing whatever it is, then calling M-C-S-tab
-;; again.
-;;
-;; If you want to add your own moving or copying functions you should
-;; be able to do this fairly easily with (vcursor-relative-move) and
-;; (vcursor-copy) together with (vcursor-get-char-count). If you want to
-;; do something in a different window, use (vcursor-window-funcall).
-;;
-;; Key bindings
-;; ============
-;;
-;; There is an alternative set of key bindings named "Oemacs" (for
-;; historical reasons). This set uses separate control, shift and
-;; meta keys with function keys 1 to 10. In particular, movement keys
-;; are concentrated on f5 to f8 with (in increasing order of distance
-;; traveled) C-, M- and S- as prefixes. See the actual bindings below
-;; (search for C-f1). This is because the C-S- prefix is represented
-;; by weird key sequences and the set is incomplete; if you don't mind
-;; that, some hints are given in comments below.
-;;
-;; You can specify which set of key bindings to use by customizing the
-;; user option `vcursor-key-bindings'.
-;;
-;; Usage on dumb terminals
-;; =======================
-;;
-;; If Emacs has set the variable window-system to nil, vcursor will
-;; assume that overlays cannot be displayed in a different face, and
-;; will instead use a string (the variable vcursor-string, by default "**>")
-;; to show its position. Unlike the old-fashioned overlay arrow (as
-;; used by debuggers), this appears between existing text, which can
-;; make it hard to read if you're not used to it. (This seemed the
-;; better option here.) This means moving the vcursor up and down is
-;; a very efficient way of locating it!
-;;
-;; Everything else should function as expected, but there is no way to
-;; get an easy key binding for the vcursor keys on a generic terminal.
-;; Consequently a special keymap is defined for you to use traditional
-;; methods: the keymap, however, is available on any terminal type.
-;;
-;; The vcursor keymap
-;; ==================
-;;
-;; In addition to any other bindings, vcursor-map contains key definitions
-;; for handling the vcursor. You should assign this to a prefix key
-;; in the usual way, e.g.
-;; (keymap-global-set "<f14>" vcursor-map)
-;; and also as usual \C-h in this map will list the key definitions, which
-;; are designed to be easy to remember.
-;;
-;; A special feature is provided by (vcursor-use-vcursor-map), bound
-;; to t in that keymap. With this in effect, the main keymap
-;; is overridden by the vcursor map, so keys like \C-p and so on
-;; move the vcursor instead. Remember how to turn it off (type t),
-;; or you are in serious trouble! Note that the cursor keys are not
-;; bound by default in this keymap and will continue to move the
-;; ordinary cursor.
-;;
-;; Interpreted input
-;; =================
-;;
-;; Just occasionally, you may want to pretend the strings copied from
-;; the vcursor position are to be interpreted as if you had typed them
-;; from the keyboard. Normally, they will just insert themselves anyway,
-;; but in some modes (Info and calc for example) typing ordinary characters
-;; does something else. To get this effect, set
-;; vcursor-interpret-input to t. This is normally not a good idea as
-;; interpreting input is very much slower than copying text.
-;;
-;; Un-features
-;; ===========
-;;
-;; - The vcursor will not move to point-max, since otherwise it would
-;; disappear. However, no error is flagged as point-max is a valid
-;; point in the buffer. Thus cursor right or down at the second
-;; last point in the file does not flag an error, which is inconsistent,
-;; and if copying is on the last character (typically newline) will
-;; be repeatedly copied. (I've tried making it flag an error
-;; instead and that's worse since often the vcursor is sent to
-;; point in some other window, which may be point-max.)
-;; - The vcursor widens when over a tab character or right at the
-;; end of the line. You're welcome to consider this a feature;
-;; it's just a part of how overlays work.
-;; - The vcursor obscures the real cursor. Creative use of overlays
-;; could cure this.
-;; - The vcursor does not remember its own previous positions. If
-;; you cycle it back into a window it was in before, it will be at
-;; point in that window. Often, that is where a previous recenter
-;; left point, not where the vcursor was before.
-;; (Note, however, that the vcursor does remember where it *is*,
-;; even if it's off-screen. This can also lead to surprises, but I
-;; don't think it's a bug.)
-;; - vcursor-window-funcall could perhaps be smarter about restoring
-;; the previous window state on failure.
-;; - The logic in vcursor-find-window is rather complicated and
-;; therefore bug-prone, though in practice it seems to work OK.
-;;
-;; Possible enhancements:
-;; It would be easy to implement vcursor-push (save vcursor position
-;; as mark and deactivate) and vcursor-pop (deactivate vcursor and
-;; move to last pushed position) functions.
