If not, see . ;;; Commentary: ;; WebJump provides a sort of ``programmable hotlist'' of Web sites that can ;; quickly be invoked in your Web browser. Each Web site in the hotlist has a ;; name, and you select the desired site name via a completing string prompt in ;; the minibuffer. The URL for each Web site is defined as a static string or ;; a built-in or custom function, allowing interactive prompting for ;; site-specific queries and options. ;; Note that WebJump was originally intended to complement your conventional ;; browser-based hotlist, not replace it. (Though there's no reason you ;; couldn't use WebJump for your entire hotlist if you were so inclined.) ;; The `webjump-sites' variable, which defines the hotlist, defaults to some ;; example sites. You'll probably want to override it with your own favorite ;; sites. The documentation for the variable describes the syntax. ;; You may wish to add something like the following to your init file: ;; ;; (global-set-key "\C-cj" 'webjump) ;; (setq webjump-sites ;; (append '( ;; ("My Home Page" . "www.someisp.net/users/joebobjr/") ;; ("Pop's Site" . "www.joebob-and-son.com/") ;; ) ;; webjump-sample-sites)) ;; ;; The above loads this package, binds `C-c j' to invoke WebJump, and adds your ;; personal favorite sites to the hotlist. ;; The `webjump-sample-sites' variable mostly contains some site entries that ;; are expected to be generally relevant to many users, but excluding ;; those that the GNU project would not want to recommend. ;; The `browse-url' package is used to submit URLs to the browser, so any ;; browser-specific configuration should be done there. ;;; Code: ;; TODO: ;; - Add a menu bar and tool bar for this library. ;; - Add commands to create/delete link from the hotlist. ;; - Add something like a bookmark folder in modern browsers. ;; - Add a command that can open/follow all links in a folder. ;; - Add tags for Web sites in the hotlist. ;;-------------------------------------------------------- Package Dependencies (require 'browse-url) ;;------------------------------------------------------------------- Constants (defgroup webjump nil "Programmable Web hotlist." :prefix "webjump-" :group 'browse-url) (defconst webjump-sample-sites '( ;; FSF, not including Emacs-specific.

The hotlist is represented as an association list, with the CAR of each cell being the name of the Web site, and the CDR being the definition for the URL of that site. The URL definition can be a string (the URL), a vector (specifying a special \"builtin\" which returns a URL), a symbol (name of a function which returns a URL), or a list (which when `eval'ed yields a URL). If the URL definition is a vector, then a \"builtin\" is used. A builtin has a Lisp-like syntax, with the name as the first element of the vector, and any arguments as the following elements. The three current builtins are `name', which returns the name of the site as the URL, `simple-query', which returns a URL that is a function of a query entered by the user, and `mirrors', which allows the user to select from among multiple mirror sites for the same content. The first argument to the `simple-query' builtin is a static URL to use if the user enters a blank query. The second and third arguments are the prefix and suffix, respectively, to add to the encoded query the user enters. This builtin covers Web sites that have single-string searches with the query embedded in the URL. The arguments to the `mirrors' builtin are URLs of mirror sites. If the symbol of a function is given, then the function will be called with the Web site name (the one you specified in the CAR of the alist cell) as a parameter. This might come in handy for various kludges. For convenience, if the `http://', `ftp://', or `file://' prefix is missing from a URL, WebJump will make a guess at what you wanted and prepend it before submitting the URL." :type '(alist :key-type (string :tag "Name") :value-type (choice :tag "URL" (string :tag "URL") function (vector :tag "Builtin" (symbol :tag "Name") (repeat :inline t :tag "Arguments" string)) (sexp :tag "Expression to eval")))) ;;------------------------------------------------------- Sample Site Functions (defun webjump-to-iwin (name) (let* ((prefix "http://www.nws.noaa.gov/view/") (state (webjump-read-choice name "state" (append '(("Puerto Rico" .
