This is a massive diff that I had to do in a hurry - when leaving Urbint. I'm pretty sure that most of these are updating Emacs packages, but I'm not positive.

;; ######## Compatibility ########################################
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Works with Emacs-20.3, 20.6, 20.7, 21.2, 21.4, 22.1 and 23.1
|
|
;; Does not work with Emacs-19.31 nor XEmacs-20.4 and 21.4.
|
|
|
|
;; ######## Quick start ########################################
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Add to your ~/.emacs
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (require 'key-chord)
|
|
;; (key-chord-mode 1)
|
|
;;
|
|
;; and some chords, for example
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global "hj" 'undo)
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global ",." "<>\C-b")
|
|
|
|
;; ######## Terminology ########################################
|
|
;;
|
|
;; In this package, a "key chord" is two keys pressed simultaneously,
|
|
;; or a single key quickly pressed twice.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (Sometimes pressing SHIFT and/or META plus another key is call a chord,
|
|
;; but not here. However SHIFT plus two normal keys can be a "key chord".)
|
|
|
|
;; ######## Description ########################################
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Key chord mode acts like a global minor mode controlled by the function
|
|
;; `key-chord-mode'.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Key chord definitions are stored in ordinary key-maps.
|
|
;; The function `key-chord-define-global' defines a chord in the global
|
|
;; key-map and `key-chord-define' defines a chord in a specified key-map,
|
|
;; for example for a specific mode.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; A TWO-key chord is two distinct keys pressed simultaneously (within
|
|
;; one tenth of a second, or so).
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Examples:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global ",." "<>\C-b")
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global "hj" 'undo)
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global [?h ?j] 'undo) ; the same
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global "jk" 'dabbrev-expand)
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global "cv" 'reindent-then-newline-and-indent)
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global "4r" "$")
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Comma and dot pressed together insert a pair of angle brackets.
|
|
;; `h' and `j' pressed together invoke the undo command.
|
|
;; `j' and `k' pressed together invoke the dabbrev-expand command.
|
|
;; 'c' and 'v' pressed together insert a newline.
|
|
;; `4' and `r' pressed together insert a dollar sign.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; A ONE-key chord is a single key quickly pressed twice (within one third
|
|
;; of a second or so).
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Examples:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global "''" "`'\C-b")
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global ",," 'indent-for-comment)
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global "qq" "the ")
|
|
;; (key-chord-define-global "QQ" "The ")
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Tick (') pressed twice inserts a back-tick and a tick (`').
|
|
;; Comma (,) pressed twice indents for and/or inserts a comment.
|
|
;; `q' pressed twice inserts the word "the ".
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Examples: Mode specific chords
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (key-chord-define c++-mode-map ";;" "\C-e;")
|
|
;; (key-chord-define c++-mode-map "{}" "{\n\n}\C-p\t")
|
|
;;
|
|
;; The command `key-chord-describe' lists currently defined key chords.
|
|
;; The standard command `describe-bindings' (C-h b) will also show key chords.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; The standard command `describe-key' (C-h k) will accept a key chord and
|
|
;; show its definition. (Isn't that amazing. There is no explicit code to
|
|
;; carry out this functionality.)
|
|
|
|
;; ######## Tips ########################################
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Don't chord key combinations that exists in the languages you typically
|
|
;; write. Otherwise, if you are typing fast, two key intended to be separate
|
|
;; letters might instead trig a chord.
|
|
;; E.g. "uu" would be a good chord in spanish but not in finnish, and
|
|
;; "hj" would be a good chord in english but not in swedish.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Don't rely solely on /usr/dict/words to find unusual combination.
|
|
;; For example "cv" or "fg" can be quite common in certain kinds of
|
|
;; programming. Grep your own texts to verify that a combination is unusual.
|
|
;; And don't forget to check both permutations: "fg" and "gf".
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Choose two keys that are close to each other on the keyboard, so they
|
|
;; can be quickly typed without effort. Chords involving two hands (as
|
|
;; opposed to two fingers on one hand) are harder to type (quickly).
|
|
;; The idea is that key chords are to replace function keys for functions
|
|
;; that are frequently performed while the hands are in writing position.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Key chords might not work well over a slow network.
|
|
|
|
;; ######## Limitations ########################################
|
|
;;
|
|
;; When recording keyboard macros, the time between keyboard inputs are not
|
|
;; recorded. Thus, the key-chord-input-method cannot know for sure if two keys
|
|
;; in a macro was a chord or not. The current solution remembers the first key
|
|
;; of the chords typed during macro recording, and keys that match those (and
|
|
;; are defined as chords) are considered key-chords during macro execution.
|
|
;; This knowledge is not saved with `name-last-kbd-macro', so they may
|
|
;; execute wrong if they contain pair of keys that match defined chords.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Emacs will not call input-method-function for keys that have non numeric
|
|
;; codes or whos code is outside the range 32..126. Thus you cannot define
|
|
;; key chords involving function keys, control keys, or even your non-english
|
|
;; letters (on national keyboards) that otherwise are well positioned for
|
|
;; chording on your keyboard.
|
|
;; (I think chording left and right arrow keys would be useful, but cannot do.
|
|
;; I consider this a bug in Emacs. Input methods could happily return
|
|
;; unmodified *any* key they don't know about.)
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Key chords longer that 2 keys are not supported. It could be done, but I
|
|
;; don't think it is worth the trubbel since most keyboards will not reliably
|
|
;; send all key codes when 3 or more keys are pressed simultaneously.
|
|
;; It might also be a bit trickier to maintain performance.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Key chord mode uses input-method-function. And so do internationalisation
|
|
;; packages (mule, quail, etc). Do not expect them to work well together.
|
|
;; The last one that gets the input-method-function rules.
|
|
|
|
;; ######## Implementation ########################################
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Key chords piggy back in ordinary key maps, so they can be defined
|
|
;; per mode without having to add hooks to all modes.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Key chord key codes are vectors beginning with the atom `key-chord'.
|
|
;; A two key chord, e.g. "hj", will add two entries in the key-map.
|
|
;; E.g. [key-chord ?h ?j] and [key-chord ?j ?h].
|
|
;;
|
|
;; When key-chord-mode is enabled input-method-function is set to
|
|
;; key-chord-input-method.
|
|
|
|
;; ######## To do ########################################
|
|
;;
|
|
;; * Find a way to save key-chord info in keyboard macros.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; * Save previous value of input-method-function? And call it?
|
|
;;
|
|
;; * input-method-function is reset in *info* buffers! What to do?
|
|
;;
|
|
;; * How to enter interactively command OR string in key-chord-define-global?
|
|
;;
|
|
;; * Customize public vars (defcustom).
