;;; Commentary:

;; Latest changes
;; ==============
;;
;; - *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 with Emacs 19.29 and later
;; - 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 Emacs 19 or 20 and a window system for the best effects.
;; For character terminals, at least Emacs 19.29 is required
;; (special behavior for the overlay property
;; "before-string" must be implemented).  Search for "dumb terminals"
;; for more information.
;;
;; 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 which will be used
;; automatically for a PC if Oemacs is detected.  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 the usual or the Oemacs bindings by setting the
;; variable vcursor-key-bindings to `xterm' or `oemacs'.  You can also set
;; it to nil, in which case vcursor will not make any key bindings
;; and you can define your own.  The default is t, which makes vcursor
;; guess (it will use xterm unless it thinks Oemacs is running).  The
;; oemacs set will work on an X terminal with function keys, but the
;; xterm set will not work under Oemacs.
;;
;; 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.  This was first implemented
;; in Emacs 19.29.  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.
;;      (global-set-key [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.
