;; --------------------------------------------------------------------
;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This package defines a set of routines, windmove-{left,up,right,
;; down}, for selection of windows in a frame geometrically. For
;; example, `windmove-right' selects the window immediately to the
;; right of the currently-selected one. This functionality is similar
;; to the window-selection controls of the BRIEF editor of yore.
;;
;; One subtle point is what happens when the window to the right has
;; been split vertically; for example, consider a call to
;; `windmove-right' in this setup:
;;
;; -------------
;; | | A |
;; | | |
;; | |-----
;; | * | | (* is point in the currently
;; | | B | selected window)
;; | | |
;; -------------
;;
;; There are (at least) three reasonable things to do:
;; (1) Always move to the window to the right of the top edge of the
;; selected window; in this case, this policy selects A.
;; (2) Always move to the window to the right of the bottom edge of
;; the selected window; in this case, this policy selects B.
;; (3) Move to the window to the right of point in the selected
;; window. This may select either A or B, depending on the
;; position of point; in the illustrated example, it would select
;; B.
;;
;; Similar issues arise for all the movement functions. Windmove
;; resolves this problem by allowing the user to specify behavior
;; through a prefix argument. The cases are thus:
;; * if no argument is given to the movement functions, or the
;; argument given is zero, movement is relative to point;
;; * if a positive argument is given, movement is relative to the top
;; or left edge of the selected window, depending on whether the
;; movement is to be horizontal or vertical;
;; * if a negative argument is given, movement is relative to the
;; bottom or right edge of the selected window, depending on whether
;; the movement is to be horizontal or vertical.
;;
;;
;; Another feature enables wrap-around mode when the variable
;; `windmove-wrap-around' is set to a non-nil value. In this mode,
;; movement that falls off the edge of the frame will wrap around to
;; find the window on the opposite side of the frame. Windmove does
;; the Right Thing about the minibuffer; for example, consider:
;;
;; -------------
;; | * |
;; |-----------|
;; | A |
;; |-----------| (* is point in the currently
;; | B | C | selected window)
;; | | |
;; -------------
;;
;; With wraparound enabled, windmove-down will move to A, while
;; windmove-up will move to the minibuffer if it is active, or to
;; either B or C depending on the prefix argument.
;;
;;
;; A set of default keybindings is supplied: shift-{left,up,right,down}
;; invoke the corresponding Windmove function. See the installation
;; section if you wish to use these keybindings.
;; Installation:
;;
;; Put the following line in your `.emacs' file:
;;
;; (windmove-default-keybindings) ; shifted arrow keys
;;
;; or
;;
;; (windmove-default-keybindings 'hyper) ; etc.
;;
;; to use another modifier key.
;;
;;
;; If you wish to enable wrap-around, also add a line like:
;;
;; (setq windmove-wrap-around t)
;;
;;
;; Note: If you have an Emacs that manifests a bug that sometimes
;; causes the occasional creation of a "lost column" between windows,
;; so that two adjacent windows do not actually touch, you may want to
;; increase the value of `windmove-window-distance-delta' to 2 or 3:
;;
;; (setq windmove-window-distance-delta 2)

;; Implementation overview:
;;
;; The conceptual framework behind this code is all fairly simple. We
;; are on one window; we wish to move to another. The correct window
;; to move to is determined by the position of point in the current
;; window as well as the overall window setup.
;;
;; Early on, I made the decision to base my implementation around the
;; built-in function `window-at'. This function takes a frame-based
;; coordinate, and returns the window that contains it. Using this
;; function, the job of the various top-level windmove functions can
;; be decomposed: first, find the current frame-based location of
;; point; second, manipulate it in some way to give a new location,
;; that hopefully falls in the window immediately at left (or right,
;; etc.); third, use `window-at' and `select-window' to select the
;; window at that new location.
;;
;; This is probably not the only possible architecture, and it turns
;; out to have some inherent cruftiness. (Well, okay, the third step
;; is pretty clean....) We will consider each step in turn.
;;
;; A quick digression about coordinate frames: most of the functions
;; in the windmove package deal with screen coordinates in one way or
;; another. These coordinates are always relative to some reference
;; points. Window-based coordinates have their reference point in the
;; upper-left-hand corner of whatever window is being talked about;
;; frame-based coordinates have their reference point in the
;; upper-left-hand corner of the entire frame (of which the current
;; window is a component).
;;
;; All coordinates are zero-based, which simply means that the
;; reference point (whatever it is) is assigned the value (x=0, y=0).
;; X-coordinates grow down the screen, and Y-coordinates grow towards
;; the right of the screen.
;;
;; Okay, back to work. The first step is to gather information about
;; the frame-based coordinates of point, or rather, the reference
;; location. The reference location can be point, or the upper-left,
;; or the lower-right corner of the window; the particular one used is
;; controlled by the prefix argument to `windmove-left' and all the
;; rest.
;;
;; This work is done by `windmove-reference-loc'. It can figure out
;; the locations of the corners by calling `window-edges' combined
;; with the result of `posn-at-point'.
;;
;; The second step is more messy. Conceptually, it is fairly simple:
;; if we know the reference location, and the coordinates of the
;; current window, we can "throw" our reference point just over the
;; appropriate edge of the window, and see what other window is
;; there. More explicitly, consider this example from the user
;; documentation above.
;;
;; -------------
;; | | A |
;; | | |
;; | |-----
;; | * | | (* is point in the currently
;; | | B | selected window)
;; | | |
;; -------------
;;
;; The asterisk marks the reference point; we wish to move right.
;; Since we are moving horizontally, the Y coordinate of the new
;; location will be the same. The X coordinate can be such that it is
;; just past the edge of the present window. Obviously, the new point
;; will be inside window B. This in itself is fairly simple: using
;; the result of `windmove-reference-loc' and `window-edges', all the
;; necessary math can be performed. (Having said that, there is a
;; good deal of room for off-by-one errors, and Emacs 19.34, at least,
;; sometimes manifests a bug where two windows don't actually touch,
;; so a larger skip is required.) The actual math here is done by
;; `windmove-other-window-loc'.
;;
;; But we can't just pass the result of `windmove-other-window-loc' to
;; `window-at' directly. Why not? Suppose a move would take us off
;; the edge of the screen, say to the left. We want to give a
;; descriptive error message to the user. Or, suppose that a move
;; would place us in the minibuffer. What if the minibuffer is
;; inactive?
;;
;; Actually, the whole subject of the minibuffer edge of the frame is
;; rather messy. It turns out that with a sufficiently large delta,
;; we can fly off the bottom edge of the frame and miss the minibuffer
;; altogether. This, I think, is never right: if there's a minibuffer
;; and you're not in it, and you move down, the minibuffer should be
;; in your way.
;;
;; (By the way, I'm not totally sure that the code does the right
;; thing in really weird cases, like a frame with no minibuffer.)
;;
;; So, what we need is some ways to do constraining and such. The
;; early versions of windmove took a fairly simplistic approach to all
;; this. When I added the wrap-around option, those internals had to
;; be rewritten. After a *lot* of futzing around, I came up with a
;; two-step process that I think is general enough to cover the
;; relevant cases. (I'm not totally happy with having to pass the
;; window variable as deep as I do, but we can't have everything.)
;;
;; In the first phase, we make sure that the new location is sane.
;; "Sane" means that we can only fall of the edge of the frame in the
;; direction we're moving in, and that we don't miss the minibuffer if
;; we're moving down and not already in the minibuffer. The function
;; `windmove-constrain-loc-for-movement' takes care of all this.
;;
;; Then, we handle the wraparound, if it's enabled. The function
;; `windmove-wrap-loc-for-movement' takes coordinate values (both X
;; and Y) that fall off the edge of the frame, and replaces them with
;; values on the other side of the frame. It also has special
;; minibuffer-handling code again, because we want to wrap through the
;; minibuffer if it's not enabled.
;;
;; So, that's it. Seems to work. All of this work is done by the fun
;; function `windmove-find-other-window'.
;;
;; So, now we have a window to move to (or nil if something's gone
;; wrong). The function `windmove-do-window-select' is the main
;; driver function: it actually does the `select-window'. It is
;; called by four little convenience wrappers, `windmove-left',
;; `windmove-up', `windmove-right', and `windmove-down', which make
;; for convenient keybinding.
;; Quick & dirty utility function to add two (x . y) coords.
