Add new functions to mark/unmark/delete all bookmarks

Add new functions to mark/unmark/delete all bookmarks

[Matthew White]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1023 bytes --]

Hello,

Attached here there is a patch to add new functions to mark, unmark,
and delete all bookmarks at once.

Menu entries and bindings are updated too, and tests are included.

You may consider this both a suggestion and a way to get an opinion
from the community.

I felt that some functions where missing, I'm used to type "U" in
dired to unmark all marks...

Summary (just main functions are described here):

* bookmark-delete-all: With ARG nil asks for confirmation. Deletes all
  bookmarks. Bound to "D" in `bookmark-map'.
* bookmark-bmenu-mark-all: Operates in the *Bookmark List* buffer.
  Marks all bookmarks. Bound to "M" in `bookmark-bmenu-mode-map'.
* bookmark-bmenu-unmark-all: Operates in the *Bookmark List* buffer.
  Unmarks all bookmarks. Bound to "U" in `bookmark-bmenu-mode-map'.
* bookmark-bmenu-delete-all: Operates in the *Bookmark List* buffer.
  Marks all bookmarks for deletion. Bound to "D" in `bookmark-bmenu-mode-map'.

Well, I naturally am not in favor of seeing this.

All of that is in Bookmark+, but better, IMO.
You could have taken some of what's there, either
as is or as a starting point.

The Bookmark+ behavior borrows heavily from Dired
(and not just for marking).  `U', like `M-DEL',
unmarks all of a given kind of mark, or all marks.

There are commands to mark different kinds of
bookmarks and commands to mark bookmarks that
satisfy various conditions.

`M-m' marks all bookmarks.  (`M' is a prefix key
for marking or showing only `man' bookmarks.  Most
uppercase letters are prefix keys for acting on
particular kinds of bookmarks.  `M' as a suffix
key marks bookmarks of the type indicated by the
prefix key; e.g., `I M' marks Info bookmarks.)

Marking flexibility carries over for deletion.
As in Dired, `D' deletes the marked bookmarks -
it doesn't flag for deletion.  `d' and `C-d' flag
individually.  As in Dired, there's no need for a
command to flag all, IMO.

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus#MarkingAndUnmarkingBookmarks

Some of the commands involving mark (`>') and flag
(`D') that are bound to keys:

d	- Flag bookmark `D' for deletion, then move down
C-d	- Flag bookmark `D' for deletion, then move up
x	- Delete (visible) bookmarks flagged `D'
D	- Delete (visible) bookmarks marked `>'

m	- Mark bookmark

Hi Drew Adams,

Thanks for your great work.

> https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus#MarkingAndUnmarkingBookmarks

I assure you that I never looked into the code of Bookmark+, hence
there is no code I borrowed in writing my patch to add some common
features to bookmark.el. I'm sorry if people think things that way.

What about the repository of Bookmark+ on GitHub?

His code is covered by the GPL *and* he signed the copyright paperwork,
so I don't think his issue is the reverse: he'd rather that the "new
code" be taken from his to reduce the difference between bookmark.el and
bookmark+.el.

And I don't think that's a reasonable expectation for Drew to have --
there's no requirement for people working on bookmark.el to look at the
bookmark+.el code.

Matthew's code looks good to me, and seems like a real improvement to
bookmark.el, but I looked at the copyright assignment papers, and
apparently Matthew's only assigned copyright for wget, and not for
Emacs?  Or am I misreading the file?

Hi Stefan,

Do you think they at assign@gnu.org are overwhelmed in this period...
or maybe I made a mistake compiling the form...?

What do you suggest?

It might be a that they're a bit overwhelmed, tho 4 days to reply to
this seems more than what I've seen in the past.
As for a mistake in filling the form, that doesn't sound likely: the
copyright clerk (usually Donald) would have contacted you asking
about it.

Can you try sending a followup-email asking for the status of your
request (and put me in Cc)?

I have no such expectation, believe me.

I only said that Emacs is welcome to take stuff
from Bookmark+, "either as is or as a starting
point."

I do think that doing so would benefit vanilla
Emacs (as well as potentially help me in terms
of perhaps reducing some Bookmark+ maintenance).

But I don't expect that to happen - not at all.

The features of Bookmark+ - the ideas - are
useful, I think.  The implementation is also
reasonable, but the features are the main
thing it has to offer.  They might at least
serve as food for thought.

IMO, bookmarks are a pretty general tool.  They
can be used for all kinds of things.

The name "bookmark" can be somewhat misleading,
as Emacs bookmarks are just another way to hook
in arbitrary bits of code - like hooks, timers,
etc.  That they are often associated with target
"places" is a plus, but not a requirement.

And besides hooking in code they hook in data:
timestamps, number of uses/visits, annotations,
anything at all...

Yes.

To the extent that some of the stuff in Bookmark+
were to be integrated into vanilla bookmark.el, I
wouldn't need to include it anymore in Bookmark+
(except for older Emacs releases).  IOW, a plus
for me, in terms of Bookmark+ maintenance.

A more important reason for others is that (IMHO)
the Bookmark+ versions of overlapping features are
generally better than the vanilla versions.

And there are a lot more features, many of which
could be added to vanilla bookmark.el with little
trouble, I expect.

I'm not volunteering to help with any such
integration (I haven't the time, energy, or will),
but I'd be happy to help with understanding the
Bookmark+ code if someone did try to integrate
some of the functionality.

I didn't mean to suggest that you did.
I'm saying that you can, if you like. ;-)
That's all.

What about it?

Someone else mirrors the files from Emacs Wiki there,
I believe. They look relatively up-to-date, judging
only by the indicated dates.  I can't vouch for them,
otherwise, but I trust the guys who apparently mirrored
them.

I wonder (1) why bookmark-menu is not derived from
tabulated-list-mode, and (2) if maybe tabulated-list-mode would
benefit from a generic implementation of multiple marking, unmarking,
marking-for-deletion, and command application.

AFAIK `tabulated-list-mode` was born much later than `bookmark-menu`.
I think we'd welcome a patch to make it use `tabulated-list-mode`.

Maybe "for deletion" is too application-specific (some uses of
`tabulated-list-mode` can't "delete" or at least not conveniently enough
that it's a common use case), but a definite +1 for the rest.

My point is that there are many instances of a generic scenario:
Display a list of items; enable the user to perform operations on a
single item at point or to mark multiple items and operate on them as
a subset. Currently, each mode derived from ‘tabulated-list-mode’ has
to reimplement marking, unmarking, mark preservation over refresh,
iterating over marked items, and fallback to the item at point when no
marks are set. One high-visible derived mode hijacks the “unmark all”
key for “mark upgradable packages”. I think they would benefit from a
common implementation and the unification of the UI stemming from
that.


One possibility would be for a derived mode to set some buffer-local
variables to inform ‘tabulated-list-mode’ which marks it supports.
E.g.:

* Set ‘tabulated-list-delete-function’ to a non-nil function that will

‘D’ will invoke that function and remove its visual representation
from the buffer; ‘d’ will mark the item at point for deletion; ‘x’
will go through all the items marked for deletion and actually delete
and remove them; ‘u’ will unmark the item at point; and ‘U’ will
unmark all items.

contains ‘>’, ‘m’ will mark the item at point with ‘>’. Other marks
listed in the string can be set by the derived mode binding a key to a
function that will call (tabulated-list-set-mark CHAR). ‘u’ and ‘U’
will unmark the item at point or all items, respectively. A helper
function, (tabulated-list-map CHAR FUNC), will execute FUNC on each
item marked CHAR or on the item at point if no items are marked,
optionally removing the item or unmarking it depending on FUNC’s
return value; this can be invoked in any commands bound in the derived
mode keymap.


I might implement something if this general direction is deemed
desirable. Details can be discussed.

Something like that would be most welcome; I'm using a custom
'dired-like' implementation for mu4e's header-view, and I need the
marking / unmarking, applying commands, adding/removing entries etc.; if
emacs were to gain some standard facility for that, that would really
help.

Some bonus items would be to allow for a tree-view, with
expand/collapse, and multi-line items.

Kind regards,
Dirk.

Fully agreed.  I was just pointing out that to keep it generic it might
be better to start with limiting it to support "mark/unmark" and "apply
command to marked elements" without presuming that "deletion" might be
such a command (e.g. in package.el I'm not sure "deletion" makes a lot
of sense since most of the entries listed reflect the existence of
something on a remote server that's not under the user's control).

Fair enough. Given a generic marking facility, derived modes can just
treat deletion as one kind of a mark.

Indeed, I think that is an unfortunate and surprising default that is
at odds with the rest of Emacs (notably Dired).  (I'd be in favour of
changing it, FWIW.)

I've had the same idea in the past and would definitely appreciate
such an addition.

See bug #39293:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=39293

Tabulated-list mode is quite rigid and rudimentary.

The kinds of marking, not to mention more complex
features, that Dired provides are not available
(and may not be feasible currently) with t-l mode.

If someone is eager to propagate t-l mode, start
with something like Ibuffer.

(Just one opinion.)

Hi, Matthew.  Thanks so much for this.  I have reviewed the patch against 'master' (since it applies cleanly there, whereas it does not quite apply cleanly to 'emacs-27').  It is very good; I have just some minor comments below.

First, a couple of presentation issues:

1) It helps to include a summary line at the top of your commit message, followed by a blank line.  The summary line should be limited to 50 characters or fewer, if possible.  (This is all documented in the "Commit messages" section in the 'CONTRIBUTE' file in the top level of the Emacs source tree, by the way).  In your case, the Subject header of your email almost does the job -- we can shorten it a bit to fit within 50 characters:

  "Add ability to mark/unmark/delete all bookmarks"

2) In the commit message, you don't need to repeat the filename ("* lisp/bookmark.el") each time.  You can just write it once, and then underneath it show everything affected in that file.  Taking the first three entries in your original log message as an example:

   * lisp/bookmark.el (bookmark-delete-all): New function to delete all
     bookmarks.
   * lisp/bookmark.el (bookmark-bmenu-mark-all): New function to mark all
     bookmarks in the bookmark list buffer.
   * lisp/bookmark.el (bookmark-bmenu-unmark-all): New function to unmark
     all bookmarks in the bookmark list buffer.

...they would instead be written like this:

   * lisp/bookmark.el (bookmark-delete-all): New function to delete all
     bookmarks.
     (bookmark-bmenu-mark-all): New function to mark all bookmarks in the
     bookmark list buffer. 
     (bookmark-bmenu-unmark-all): New function to unmark all bookmarks in
     the bookmark list buffer.

Quick digression:

You can use 'git log' to see this style used in past Emacs commits.  However, note that there a *few* commits that do it the way you did it, and one of them happens to be quite recent, 0d7d422b767c.  So if you did look in the logs, and you happened to see that one, then it would be understandable for you to have taken it as an example :-).  Nevertheless, it is an exception and is not the normal style (also, even within 0d7d422b767c's commit message the style is inconsistent, if you look closely).  See the 'CONTRIBUTE' file for more details on this -- it in turn points to https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html, which, I now discover, *also* does not give a clear example of the "multiple changes inside one file" scenario we're talking about here even though it is a very common case.

Sigh :-).

Anyway, look through the Emacs logs and you'll see that the way I demonstrate above is the common way.

Other than those two issues, your commit message is very clear.  I was able to understand the intent and manner of the change from reading the commit message.

Below I'll quote the entire log message and patch, so people can know that they're seeing everything in this response, even though I only make a few inline comments.

Better to call ARG something like NO-CONFIRM, so its name reflects its purpose.

And a suggestion: have the prompt say "Permanently delete all bookmarks? " instead.

Because of subtle assumptions associated with English word order, the current prompt ("Delete all bookmarks permanently? ") implies that the alternative might be to delete the bookmarks non-permanently.  E.g., a user might think that if she responds "no", the next thing she'll get is a prompt offering various choices of non-permanent ways to delete them :-).  This is not a huge problem, of course -- when she doesn't get any followup prompt, she'd figure out what's going on.  But it's better to just ask the question in a way that makes the choice clear in the first place.

Regarding the "FIXME" comment: that assumption is embedded throughout the bookmark-bmenu-* code, so I think there's no need for the "FIXME" (and indeed the comment may cause confusion, since its presence calls the assumption into question).

It might be good to make a followup change in which we document the last-line-is-empty assumption, but that's a separate change of course.

These tests are a huge contribution -- thanks for taking the time to write them.

This patch looks good to me.  I've tested it myself and it works as advertised, and the new tests pass 'make check'.

If you have time to revise the patch slightly as per above (if you agree with the comments, of course -- otherwise, let's discuss here) that would be great.  I see that Stefan has already sent you the assignment paperwork.

Best regards,
-Karl

Hi Karl. I'm flattered, thanks!

I appreciate so much that you took the time to review my patch, and
I eagerly followed your suggestions!

You will find attached both a patch that applies to master, and one
that applies to emacs-27... They are the same in term of changes.

I'm still waiting a reply to the copyright assignment... But in the
meantime we can freely discuss about the patch...

Thanks for pointing that out. Now that I read the 'CONTRIBUTE' file,
I have some questions (by the way, I needed a remainder to read...):

1) I did commit a message with a summary line, as you described...

   [ Actually my line was the subject of the thread, yours (above)
     is better, hence I switched to your idea, thanks again ;) ]

   And indeed I use `git format-patch -1` as suggested in 'CONTRIBUTE'
   to produce a patch, but the command "strips" the summary line from
   the commit message and uses it as 'Subject:' in the patch, where it
   is prefixed with '[PATCH] ' if the option -k isn't also given...

   Once the patch is applied via `git am`, the 'Subject:' is put back
   in the commit message as summary, without the '[PATCH] ' prefix.

   So, I wonder if you used `git am` to apply the patch...? Could you
   tip me off, please?

2) With which quotes should I surround the variable/function names in
   the commit message? `' or '' or ‘’? I could not figure that out...

[x] Don't repeat the file name each time in the commit message.

    ...And yes, I did take a look at the `git log`...

In `bookmark-delete-all':

[x] Chage ARG to NO-CONFIRM.
[x] Prompt "Permanently delete all bookmarks? ".

That's a very smart thought... I'm truly impressed!

[x] Remove the "FIXME" code comments.

Following your guidelines is very instructing, Karl!

I also:

[x] Change `nameN' and `fileN' into `name-N' and `file-N' (i.e. name0
    -> name-0) in all new functions and in the new test-list.bmk file.
[x] Indent new functions to split long lines into shorter ones.
[x] bookmark-tests.el (bookmark-test-bmenu-any-marks-list): New function
    to test `bookmark-bmenu-any-marks' with a list of bookmarks.

Again, thank you very much Karl for all your effort reviewing my patch,
and especially for your brilliant insights!

I hope to get back soon with good news about the copyright assignment.

Catch you later!

You should quote 'like this' in commit log messages (and also in NEWS
entries and comments).

In Lisp comments, objects quoted 'like-this' are not
highlighted. Objects quoted `like-this' are. That's why the latter
quotation seems to be preferred for Lisp comments, IME.

What is the utility of highlighting quoted symbols in comments?  Do
you mean doc strings?

No, I mean Lisp comments. I like highlighted symbols there, for discoverability.

To clarify: I don't mind such a style _in_Lisp_comments_.

Sure. But the original question was how-to-quote. And a quoting
`like-this' in Lisp comments seems to be preferred. Until we add
highlighting for quoting 'like-this' in Lisp comments.

(No, I don't vote for this feature. I just think we shall be consistent
in our recommendations.)

The original question was how to quote in *commit messages*.  The part
about comments was my addition.

Thanks to all, Eli Zaretskii, Michael Albinus, and Drew Adams.

Yes, the question, as Eli pointed out, was about quoting (E)LISP
elements (variables, functions, etc.) in *commit messages*... In
Emacs it's so cool the fontification of comments `like-this'. So
I do have the habit of using the same style in commit messages.

What do you suggest? Is it ok to be consistent using Emacs style
in commit messages when typing Emacs' elements?

There is also ‘this’ kind of quoting in Emacs. Is it just `this'
rendered into `this', or should you write ‘this’ to begin with?

Just to rephrase.  In Emacs I write elisp elements `like-this'.
Is it the "right" style or should I write ‘like-this’.  Then in
*commit messages* I keep writing elisp elements `like-this' [or
should I write ‘like-this’?], but not non-elisp elements, which
I quote 'like-this' or "like-this"...

Forgive me... I don't want to raise confusion.  I hope that you
all may find reasoning in my bad writing "style"... ;)

Thanks!

There's no need to be "consistent" between Lisp comments and commit
log messages.  They are different contexts.

In commit log messages please quote 'like this'.

> There is also ‘this’ kind of quoting in Emacs.

This requires non-ASCII characters, so could produce mojibake on some
less capable displays.  So please don't use that style in our log
messages.

Once again, we are talking only about commit log messages.  Lisp
comments, let alone doc strings, are another matter.

Thanks!  I'll test against both branches, then.

I didn't use 'git am' the previous time, but I will this time.

I wish that the output produced by 'git format-patch' were both a little more self-identifying and more self-explanatory.  While I recognized the patch as such output, I forgot that the Subject line therefore would contain the first line of the commit message :-).  Had I reviewed the commit message after application, I would have seen that line appear, of course.  Anyway, you did the right thing here -- I just need to adjust my own process a bit.

I saw the followup discussion about this, with the answer being 'like so'.

Sounds good.

On both branches, I'll apply the corresponding new changesets, run 'make check', and test manually.  I'll also look over the diffs again.  I'll follow up here after I've done so.

I'm actually not sure yet which branch we should apply on -- I think 'emacs-27' is the right answer, as per CONTRIBUTE, but if anyone knows better please say so.

(I would make sure to use 'git am' to apply, to preserve attribution and history information, of course.)

Definitely not `emacs-27` since that one is in hard-freeze until the
Emacs-27.1 release (i.e. only apply patches there which have been
explicitly allowed by the high command (i.e., Eli) because they fix
known bugs in an obviously safe way; with less stringent conditions when
the patch only changes the docs).

Hi, Matthew.  I had a chance to try out your latest patch for 'master'.  Note I only tried that one, since this change will go onto 'master' and not onto 'emacs-27'.

When I tested manually, everything works fine: marking all, unmarking all, deleting, everything's good.  However, bookmark shows one test failure now in 'make check':

  FAILED   2/47  bookmark-test-bmenu-any-marks-list (0.000279 sec)

I haven't had time to investigate further yet, but I wanted to know if you're also seeing the same failure?  I applied your patch using 'git am'.  Below are HEAD and HEAD^ in my tree, so you can see exactly what code I'm testing with:

Hi, Karl. You got me...! Thanks for taking the time to test the patch
again. I admit, I was lazy and didn't test the amended patch with the
new function `bookmark-test-bmenu-any-marks-list' I added... and this
is the result...

Yes, I have the same failure as yours...

There was one extra 'looking-at "^> "' (changed to 'looking-at "^  "').

I attach revised patches (master and emacs-27, with the latter just in
case someone wants to test it on emacs-27).

PS: I finally got the PDF copyright assignment... I signed and emailed
it back... now I'm waiting for the FSF signature.

Cheers!

Got it!  I will try again with the new the 'master' patch (both manual testing and 'make check').  I'll also do a top-to-bottom review again of the diff, just so we can be sure.

More soon.

Hi, Matthew.  I have had a chance to test the new changes against the 'master' branch, both manually and with 'make check'.  Everything looks good.

I also re-reviewed the diff.  Actually, I diffed the *new* diff against your original diff from July 24th, since I'd already reviewed that one, and then I just reviewed the meta-diff :-).  Everything seems fine.  I see that in the tests you add some hyphens to bookmark names, e.g., "name0" to "name-0" (no problem).  You also started using the existing `bookmark-bmenu-any-marks' in the tests -- good thinking; I had forgotten that that function existed.

There is one very minor thing that I should have spotted before.  It is so minor that there is no need to post a new patch -- I can just add a fixup commit after applying your commit.  In the new function `bookmark-delete-all', the doc string says:

  "Permanently delete all bookmarks.
   Doesn't ask for confirmation if NO-CONFIRM is non-nil."

A more Emacs-y way to write this would be:

  "Permanently delete all bookmarks.
   If optional argument NO-CONFIRM is non-nil, don't ask for confirmation."

There are actually several changes there:

  - Say that the argument is optional.

  - Put the condition before the consequence.

  - Use an active verb rather than a semi-stative one ("don't" instead
    of "doesn't").  You did this in the first sentence ("delete all
    bookmarks"), just not in the second.  For more on doc strings, see
    https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Documentation-Tips.html .
    
Again, there is no need to redo the patch (unless you feel like it).  We can take care of it in a follow-up commit.

Please let us know when your paperwork is all done.  I'm looking forward to having this change in Emacs.

Best regards,
-Karl

Hi Karl, you keep surprising me. Thanks!

Karl, I waited to answer you in the hope of getting the paperwork...
Still nothing here...  I don't know if the FSF already registered my
copyright assignment request, they have my signature, though.

About the patch, your help is priceless, Karl. I have no trouble to
attach an amended patch, what pressures me is to give you the right
credits!  In these days I was thinking how you make me look smarter
than I really am...

Do as you feel, Karl.  The attached patch is my attempt to give you
credit, but you are free to do a follow-up commit, if you prefer.

Best regards,
Matthew

I'll ask about it in a separate thread, no problem.  Maybe it's all done and we just didn't get the news yet.

Aw, Matthew, thanks, but you did all the hard work here!  If you're okay with it, when I apply the commit I'll just change your commit message to include a simple phrase like "Thanks to Karl Fogel for pre-commit review" or something like that.

Best regards,

At this point, we wait and see about the paperwork...

I still don't see your assignment on file, so let's wait for a couple
of days for it to appear.

Could you check for [gnu.org #976762] too, please. Stefan wrote me
about it... it was an assignment I made in 2015 for company-mode.

I don't know if the company-mode assignment applies to Emacs too.

The new assignment is [gnu.org #1578599].

Confirmed -- I heard from the FSF copyright clerk that Matthew's assignment paperwork is complete.

Accordingly, I retested the change against the latest sources (just to be sure) and then pushed it:

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=450644e9f7923c30ef3d885638e69d3263bfa3a8

Thank you for the excellent contribution, Matthew!

Uh, they stand out.  Lisp comments can talk about
specific functions, vars, etc.  Greatly improves
readability, IMO.

E.g., Contrast these comments in dired.el, which quote:

;; Note this can't simply be run inside function `dired-ls' as the hook
;; functions probably depend on the dired-subdir-alist to be OK.

;; We make heavy use of MATCH-ANCHORED, since the regexps don't identify the
;; file name itself.  We search for Dired defined regexps, and then use the
;; Dired defined function `dired-move-to-filename' before searching for the
;; simple regexp ".+".  It is that regexp which matches the file name.

;; Files suffixed with `completion-ignored-extensions'.

;; If a dialog is used, call `read-directory-name' so the
;; dialog code knows we want directories.  Some dialogs
;; can only select directories or files when popped up,
;; not both.  If no dialog is used, call `read-file-name'
;; because the user may want completion of file names for
;; use in a wildcard pattern.

;; Do not auto-revert when the dired buffer can be currently
;; written by the user as in `wdired-mode'.

;; Use point difference instead of `current-column', because
;; the former works when `dired-hide-details-mode' is enabled.

;; Always revert when `dir-or-list' is a cons.  Also revert
;; if `dired-directory' is a cons but `dir-or-list' is not.

with these comments, in the same file, which don't quote:

;; Inherit from font-lock-comment-delimiter-face since with min-colors 8
;; font-lock-comment-face is not colored any more.

;; If the argument was syntactically  a directory name not a file name,
;; or if it happens to name a file that is a directory,
;; convert it syntactically to a directory name.
;; The reason for checking initially-was-dirname
;; and not just file-directory-p
;; is that file-directory-p is slow over ftp.

and with this comment, which both does and doesn't quote:

;; If DIR-OR-LIST is a string and there is an existing dired buffer
;; for it, just leave buffer as it is (don't even call dired-revert).
;; This saves time especially for deep trees or with ange-ftp.
;; The user can type `g' easily, and it is more consistent with find-file.
;; But if SWITCHES are given they are probably different from the
;; buffer's old value, so call dired-sort-other, which does
;; revert the buffer.
;; Revert the buffer if DIR-OR-LIST is a cons or `dired-directory'
;; is a cons and DIR-OR-LIST is a string.
;; A pity we can't possibly do "Directory has changed - refresh? "
;; like find-file does.
;; Optional argument MODE is passed to dired-find-buffer-nocreate,
;; see there.
