Subject: highlight current argument in Eldoc for Elisp
Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 18:13:24 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200706301813.24815.pogonyshev@gmx.net> (raw)
Hi,
This is my old patch for Eldoc mode, which I recovered. I also made
some improvements. I hope now that 22.1 is finally out, this patch
won't be delayed.
Briefly, it highlights the current argument in Eldoc mode with bold
text. So, if you write `(> 2' it will print `>: (NUM1 NUM2)' with
`NUM1' in bold. If you now put a space, it will highlight `NUM2'
instead. If you start a third arg, it will remove boldness and
highlight the closing paren in `font-lock-warning-face'.
Paul

* emacs-lisp/eldoc.el (eldoc-last-data): Revise documentation.
(eldoc-print-current-symbol-info): Adjust for changed helper
function signatures.
(eldoc-get-fnsym-args-string): Add `args' argument. Use new
`eldoc-highlight-function-argument'.
(eldoc-highlight-function-argument): New function.
(eldoc-get-var-docstring): Format documentation with
`font-lock-variable-name-face'.
(eldoc-docstring-format-sym-doc): Add `face' argument and apply it
where suited.
(eldoc-fnsym-in-current-sexp): Return a list with argument index.
(eldoc-beginning-of-sexp): Return number of skipped sexps.
