I sent a fix for this long ago to the devel list and I think I still
have it in my patched version of Emas+EmacsW32 (if not some merge has
erased it).

I'll take a look at this.

It would be great if there were some way to subscribe to get emails for
bug reports that match a certain regexp.  I'd do that for "bookmark".
(I suppose I could just subscribe to all bugs and then arrange the
appropriate client-side filtering, but life is short.)

I'll take a look at this too.

This affect also some gnus files (gnus-sum.el, gnus-article.el).
I use this in bookmark-extensions.el since some months now with success.

Yes it would be great, don't know how to do that unfortunately.

Karl, you might want to have a look at org-gnus.el, which provides
linking support to gnus articles and groups for org-mode.  Maybe you can
either borrow some code from me or even better, use those few functions.

FYI bookmarking from gnus(summary) is now provided in Emacs(24).
What is missing is bookmarking from gnus-article buffer.
The patch i propose apply on my precedent work.
If you want to reuse org code, you will have much more work to enable it
for bookmark (rewrite all), as the things are differents.
I attach here my patch again.

Allow to bookmark a mail from a Gnus article buffer and retrieve position.

* lisp/bookmark.el (bookmark-make-record-default) Avoid recording *-context-string when not needed.

* lisp/gnus/gnus-art.el set `bookmark-make-record-function' local.

* lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-bookmark-make-record) allow recording from article buffer.
                        (gnus-summary-bookmark-jump) maybe jump to article buffer.

Base patch for bug #5975 (bookmarking from Gnus Article buffer).

[Karl Fogel]

I have a branch that prepares the way for setting bookmarks in Gnus
Article buffers, based on Thierry's patch in bug #5975.

I'm not sure where to apply this.  Is pushing changes to trunk is okay
right now?  Starting from [1] and [2], I didn't find any notice that we
are in feature freeze, but I'm pretty sure last time I pushed it turned
out to be a mistake and that I should not have pushed to trunk.

Independently of the above, Thierry, note I made some changes to your
patch.  You used (or kept) parameter names `point-only' and `read-only';
I changed those to `no-file' and `no-context', to describe what they are
actually doing (whether the buffer is read-only or not is irrelevant to
whether one wants the front/rear context strings in bookmark record).  I
also fixed up the doc string to mention your new POSN parameter, which I
moved to the end of the parameter list.  (Don't worry, I will adjust the
gnus-sum.el patch as needed when the time comes.)

I have not (yet) included your changes to gnus/gnus-art.el and
gnus/gnus-sum.el, which finish the new functionality.  Two reasons:

  1. You said in the bug that you fixed C-w later.  Could you provide
     that patch, please?

  2. I'm not sure whether it's okay to commit significant code changes
     under gnus/, since the master is maintained outside the Emacs tree. 
     If it is okay, then I am happy to apply your change (plus the C-w
     fix).  I did test it, and it worked, except for C-w of course.

Anyone who has comments or answers re the above, please chime in.

Just for reference, the current (preparatory) patch is below.  I will
follow up separately with the gnus/* patch, so it's in the archives.

Thanks for the patch, Thierry.  We're getting close.

bug#5975: 24.0.50; [PATCH]Feature request: bookmarking from gnus article buffer

[Thierry Volpiatto]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 11995 bytes --]

Hi,
actually we can bookmark a gnus mail/news only from summary buffer.
It is useful to be able to bookmark from article buffer and retrieve
position.
Find here a patch attached that fix that.
It is tested i already use it here.

Allow to bookmark a mail from a Gnus article buffer and retrieve position.

* lisp/bookmark.el (bookmark-make-record-default) Avoid recording *-context-string when not needed.

* lisp/gnus/gnus-art.el set `bookmark-make-record-function' local.

* lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-bookmark-make-record) allow recording from article buffer.
                        (gnus-summary-bookmark-jump) maybe jump to article buffer.

bug#5975: Base patch for bug #5975 (bookmarking from Gnus Article buffer).

[Glenn Morris]

Karl Fogel wrote:

> I'm not sure where to apply this.

Do you think it (for any value of "it") is safe for Emacs 23.3?
Is it very unlikely to introduce a regression with respect to Emacs 23.2?

If so, apply "it" only to the emacs-23 branch. It will get merged to
the trunk at some point.

If not, or if you aren't sure, or think it needs more testing, apply
"it" to the trunk.


Also, note that rather than saying "patch by X", you should make the
ChangeLog entry in X's name.

bug#5975: [PATCH] Allow using C-w (bookmark-yank-word) when bookmarking from a gnus article buffer.

Thanks for your work for commiting patch, i am very happy you separate
patchs (e.g without C-w, with C-w etc..), that's very clear for further look.
Just tested now and work fine.:-)

Here's that patch (still needs the C-w fix referred to in the bug, though).

BTW, generally for all contributors patchs:

if patch WORK and is basically correct and is accepted of course, why
not applying patch as it is and modifying as Emacs developpers like in
one or more little other commits.

Actually:
- contributor send patch
- patch is accepted and applyied after modification by Emacs developers.

Instead:
- Apply contributor patch as it is (if more or less correct and working
of course)
- Make changes you like in other commits.

Like that complete track of what have been done is kept.

Because there's a pedagogical value for the contributors in having
them fix their code according to review comments.

In general, you learn better what you do yourself, rather than
watching others do it for you.

That's the case where contributor modify himself the code according to
diverse comments. I agree.

But i am speaking of the case where contributor's code is modified by Emacs
developers, in this case it is better (IMHO) to commit over the initial
patch, specially if Emacs developer misunderstand some part of code and
make wrong changes (That's not the case here Karl ;-)) it is easier to
find whats wrong instead of long discussion.
Generally contributor need to all rewrite, sometime long time further.
That is extra work for contributor and also Emacs developer.

Do you have examples?  I think this is done only rarely, and only when
the patch is very small.

Most of my patchs including the last.
See all integration of bookmarking from Gnus/Woman/Man.
See also the M-g s command in bookmark.

It change nothing at the end but we can see in changelog all differents
steps easily, with quick reference to precedents patchs, that is great
help for emacs developers to eventually debug later if needed.

I don't know where to look in order "to see".  Can you show the patch
you submitted for Woman and `man' and point to a revno where its
modified version actually went in?

I think i am wrong for these patchs as i can retrieve initial changes i
made, and then the Stefan's modifications.
So apparently things have been done like i said by stefan:
Commit change of contributor and then commit differents changes on top
of this patch: (Sorry i have not bzr, i search faster with hg)

Yes.  The only reason I delayed was because I wasn't sure about making
those non-trivial modifications to Gnus.  However, no one has said it's
a problem, and the files are in our tree -- I guess I'll commit the
next patches, and then we'll fix the C-w problem afterwards.

Do you think it (for any value of "it") is safe for Emacs 23.3?
Is it very unlikely to introduce a regression with respect to Emacs 23.2?

If so, apply "it" only to the emacs-23 branch. It will get merged to
the trunk at some point.

If not, or if you aren't sure, or think it needs more testing, apply
"it" to the trunk.


Also, note that rather than saying "patch by X", you should make the
ChangeLog entry in X's name.

My goal is to get stuff into whatever line of Emacs will be a permanent
part of all future major release lines (not necessarily including minor
or "point" releases along an already-released line).  Usually trunk
serves this purpose, and my assumption had been that trunk is always a
safe place for a change (where as X.Y branch *might* be a safe place).

But I admit, I'm not really sure how we do this.  Is there policy
documentation somewhere on it?  I looked on the project pages and in the
tree and didn't see anything obvious.  (etc/CONTRIBUTE isn't quite it.)

>Also, note that rather than saying "patch by X", you should make the

Thanks for the reminder!  I can fix the ChangeLogs to be that way.  (It
should be both of us, really; I've seen that style before.)

I sent the patch at the time that provide this feature, but it seem it
had been lost.
I have merged this feature in bookmark-extensions.el and it work fine
since long time now.
I will try to retrieve the patch for Emacs, if i don't retrieve it, it
would be good you commit the changes without the C-w feature and i will
create a patch that apply on top of this.(I really don't remember yet
what i changed to make that working, need to check my logs and
bookmark-extensions.el)

Can't tell you for gnus, i am not aware of the procedure you use in
Emacs for developping Emacs<==>Gnus.

All is working fine here since long time now, C-w included.

I have committed the changes, including the changes to Gnus (see Bzr
revs below).  Please post the C-w patch and I will apply that too.

Thanks!

bug#5975: Base patch for bug #5975 (bookmarking from Gnus Article buffer).

[Karl Fogel]

I have a branch that prepares the way for setting bookmarks in Gnus
Article buffers, based on Thierry's patch in bug #5975.

I'm not sure where to apply this.  Is pushing changes to trunk is okay
right now?  Starting from [1] and [2], I didn't find any notice that we
are in feature freeze, but I'm pretty sure last time I pushed it turned
out to be a mistake and that I should not have pushed to trunk.

Independently of the above, Thierry, note I made some changes to your
patch.  You used (or kept) parameter names `point-only' and `read-only';
I changed those to `no-file' and `no-context', to describe what they are
actually doing (whether the buffer is read-only or not is irrelevant to
whether one wants the front/rear context strings in bookmark record).  I
also fixed up the doc string to mention your new POSN parameter, which I
moved to the end of the parameter list.  (Don't worry, I will adjust the
gnus-sum.el patch as needed when the time comes.)

I have not (yet) included your changes to gnus/gnus-art.el and
gnus/gnus-sum.el, which finish the new functionality.  Two reasons:

  1. You said in the bug that you fixed C-w later.  Could you provide
     that patch, please?

  2. I'm not sure whether it's okay to commit significant code changes
     under gnus/, since the master is maintained outside the Emacs tree. 
     If it is okay, then I am happy to apply your change (plus the C-w
     fix).  I did test it, and it worked, except for C-w of course.

Anyone who has comments or answers re the above, please chime in.

Just for reference, the current (preparatory) patch is below.  I will
follow up separately with the gnus/* patch, so it's in the archives.

Thanks for the patch, Thierry.  We're getting close.

Sorry if I missed something, but if you'll look at the thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/122139/focus=123121

you'll see that Stefan had some questions for you, and that a version of
anything.el for inclusion in Emacs was never proposed by you, rubikitch,
or any of the other anything.el/anything-config.el developers (AFAIK).
But answering Stefan's questions about the anything.el behavior is
probably the best first step.

I have already answered questions in private, but i have no more news.
We did lot of work on anything since this time, anyone can see, try and
use anything on http://repo.or.cz/w/anything-config.git
If you like it, then we could include in emacs.

Strangely, I can't check it out over HTTP:

% git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/anything-config.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tzz/source/anything-config/.git/
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

(and nice warning, the checkout fails completely!)

but it works with the git://repo.or.cz/anything-config.git URL.

I think the revision history should be cut out of anything.el.

It's pretty hard for a novice to get started customizing the sources.
There is almost no Customize support AFAICT for anything-sources.  The
existing anything.el docs assume good knowledge of Emacs Lisp.  I don't
know if that is a problem, but a real manual would be very helpful for
beginners.

What sources should be on by default for Emacs users of anything.el?

I'm sure there are a lot of style and behavior issues I'm missing.  I'm
so used to anything.el that I'm probably not a good test case of how it
looks to an Emacs user.

anything-sources is deprecated and should be used with care with only
few sources, the one provided by default with anything.el are enough.

So the use of M-x anything is deprecated, you should use now commands
provided in anything-config.el.

Setting up a function for commands not provided is simple as:

(defun anything-buffers-only ()
  (interactive)
  (anything-other-buffer 'anything-c-source-buffers+ "*anything buffers*"))

Actually installing anything is easy and work out of the box with only:

(require 'anything-config)
(require 'anything-match-plugin) ; facultatif

Anything is now self documented both in mode-line and with C-h m or your
usual help command, but yes a manual would be nice.

Only the one that are already set in anything.el.

For packages included in emacs we try to avoid using require to
activate the package.  [I don't know anything about this particular
package, so...]

Can you please add some brief description of what it actually does?

;;;; anything.el --- open anything / QuickSilver-like candidate-selection framework

A lot of autoload cookies are missing in anything-config, however, 

(autoload 'anything-find-files "anything-config.el" "" t)

is enough to enable anything.

anything is a framework that allow to setup an interactive and
incremental display to select candidate and provide diverses actions on
it or many of them.

Basically, you can see that as a big completing-read, but incremental
with nice display, and providing differents action on candidate selected
in collection.

That's the same as using require.  The preferred way is to do it with
a function call, or a mode.

And how do you use it?

BTW, this might be obvious to you, but for people that have not used
the package is not.  Adding a few lines of describing what it does and
how to use it is very helpful.  [Please note that this has no relation
to getting this package included in emacs, this is just what a
potential user would like].

On the user side, if you use anything-config.el, there is already build
in sources ready for use, so you can use provided functions like any
other emacs one (e.g M-x anything-xfonts).

For the developper who want to write his own anything source the best
actually is to look at the sources wrote in anything-config.el.

Basically, you run anything like that:

(anything 'source)

source is an alist that you can write like that:
(Where name, candidates, action are anything attributes.
You have a lot of attributes, for full info, use:
M-x anything-describe-anything-attribute)

(defvar mysource
  '((name . "A simple example that open all file with extension .el")
    (candidates . (lambda ()
                   (loop for i in (directory-files default-directory)
                      when (string= (file-name-extension i) "el")
                      collect i)))
    (action . (("Open file" . find-file)
               ("Do something else" . (lambda (candidate)
                                        ;; Write here something more
                                        ;; useful than nil
                                        nil))))))

;; [EVAL] (anything 'mysource)

After evaluating line above to see if your new source work as expected,
you can now define your new anything command:

(defun my-new-anything-command ()
  (interactive)
  (anything 'mysource))

Say you want to see how look dejavu fonts in emacs:
M-x anything-xfonts RET

enter in prompt: deja

Move anything overlay with C-n/p or down/up
Hit C-z
Hit TAB to see provided actions
Hit C-g to exit doing nothing
Hit RET to exit doing the default action.

Did you read example i provide under here?

Does this happen automatically when you do x-choose-font?

As a user do I need to know a lot of anything-* function names, or
this happens automatically when I use completion?

No, I am looking at this from the point of view of a user, not a programmer.

You might want to step back, and think about how to present this to
someone that has not idea what anything.el is, and what it can do.

I can't help explain anything (*), but it has been compared to
quicksilver on the Mac, which I do use. And the problem with
explaining that is that it is (in some ways) so totally different from
traditional computer interfaces that it's almost impossible to
describe it meaningfully. You just have to see it in action. That
doesn't mean you cannot and should not try, but it explains why the
explanations this far fall short.

(Imagine explaining computers and what you can do with them to your
great-great-grandfather.)

(*) I love being able to say that.

It's similar to Gnome Do as well (or you can say Do is like
QuickSilver), for those who don't have a Mac.

We've had interactive completion in Emacs for a while and it actually
does a lot of cool things like anything.el.  Icicles also addresses
similar needs, although I personally did not like it.  So I don't think
it's necessarily a radical interface you'd have trouble explaining to
the Emacs crowd :)

AFAIK M-x provide completion on all emacs commands, why not for anything
commands?
You can use anything-M-x or anything-emacs-commands as a replacement of
M-x.

Ok.

On the user point of view, there is nothing to understand, anything
provide emacs commands like any other emacs package.

So you do M-x anything- TAB and try differents commands.

Sorry, x-select-font

BTW, anything-xfonts is not the best example, looking at fonts is not
a very frequent action.  Can you give an example of a more frequent
operation / mode of operation.

So are you saying that instead of using M-x SOMETHING one would use
M-x anything-SOMETHING?

Normally users don't do M-x find-file, they to C-x C-f, so if you do C-x C-f do you get 
M-x anything-find-file ? (and similar for other key bindings)

As a user, if the package does not quite tell me why would I want to
try it, I won't do it.  That's why I am asking from some simple, easy
to understand, significant examples.

>> (I still don't know after a few emails...)

I am not.  All I know that it's a package that does some kind of
completion that is activated after you do (require 'anything).  But
it's unclear what type of completion, and why would I want to use it.
Please don't get this wrong, many people are saying it's a great
package, but the description can use some improvement.

You can try anything-find-files that can be a replacement of C-x C-f
IF YOU WANT.
In any case, it will never replace standard C-x C-f (find-file) until
you write explicitely in your .emacs
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-f") 'anyting-find-files)
                                                  ^
                                                  Notice the s at end.

That the choice of the user to use the command he want.

As you will see anything-find-files will give you in addition of an
incremental search a bunch of actions on candidate:

,----
| Find File
| Find file in Dired
| Find file in Elscreen 
| Complete at point
| Delete File(s)
| Find file as root
| Open file externally (C-u to choose)
| Find file other window
| Find file other frame
`----

find file in elscreen appear in menu only if elscreen is loaded.

complete at point provide file completion in any buffer in emacs
(minibuffer compris)

Yes that is your choice, anything DONT REPLACE emacs commands unless you
do it explicitely by binding command.

No, as explained above, that's your choice, maybe one prefer using
standard C-x C-f (find-file) and not anything-find-files.

So you can install anything in emacs and continue to use emacs as you
always did.

As Harald said, it's difficult to describe until you use it.

anything.el does not change or interfere with the normal completion
system.  IMHO this is a good thing: it has allowed anything.el to
experiment freely and has made it a simple unobtrusive add-on.

How about

"anything.el: easy find/select/operate on files/fonts/anything interface.

A live-search (similar to Quicksilver and Gnome Do) alternative to
standard completion mechanisms you can try by exploring the anything-*
commands.  Does not change or interfere with standard completion and
requires no customizations out of the box."

Re: more on anything.el inclusion

[Wojciech Meyer]

I tried it at work today and I quite like it. To the extent I wanted
immediately bind it to a key. The idea is about implict context,
normally you have to supply conext in a form of specific function. To
open a file you have to say M-x load-file or to switch to a buffer you
have to say M-x ibuffer-switch, M-x anything try to guess the action
based on a context and give you a choice. So in this case you just say
M-x anything and type characters, and get list of options to do with
the names or symbols containig those.

OK.  Thanks for explaining.  So from the user's viewpoint, it should be
enough to autoload all the front-end anything-* functions (from
anything.el ideally, so users don't have to know about
anything-config.el as you had it in your autoload example).  Can you

Is there a list of the standard front-end functions (a subset of the

I don't think you need to explain too much about developer support in

Maybe a function that autoload all as suggested by Dan?
Would not need major work, but need to discuss it with Rubikitch.

In which menu should we add anything commands?
I mean this kind of menu:

(easy-menu-define nil global-map
  "`anything' menu"
  `("Anything commands"
    ["Find files" anything-find-files t]
    ["Show xfonts" anything-xfonts t]))

Here it is in global menu, but maybe that should go in tools or don't
know where.(i never used menus in emacs, toolbar is disabled here).

The menu location is not so important.  The point is to make a list of
"important" front-end functions that users should really know about.
The keyboard mappings are IMO much more important because anything-*
functions tend to be important while editing, not as an interactive
exploration (which menus do well).  So when we have the list we can
propose a list of mappings and depending on whether the list has 10 or
100 entries we can anticipate the mapping complexity.

Exposing functionality creates UI complexity; Emacs is already really
complex both in UI terms and in scope.  So I don't think adding a
general menu like that (have you seen how many minor modes Emacs has?)
would benefit the users.

OTOH it would be very nifty if there was a anything-minor-mode function

A misunderstanding. The problem today is that all minor mode menus
goes into the top level menu, i.e. the menu bar. So every minor mode
you turn on takes space in the menu bar, but the space in the menu bar
is limited.

What I suggested is that minor mode menus should not go into the menu
bar. They should go into a submenu for minor modes instead. (Perhaps
that should be customized per minor mode.)

Normally minor modes are not in the menus unless they are turned on.

The menus are also used for this. Functionality are sometimes put in
the menus so that it is easier to find it. I think that is a good
idea.

I see.  You meant "all active minor modes" in your original message.
Yes, in that limited case it could work but I'm not convinced it would

It depends on how many minor modes you use.

Also I think it would make the distinction between minor modes and
major modes a bit more clear for beginners.

I don't think a function is neccessary as anything don't modify other
things in emacs.
There is now an anything-command-map that can be autoloaded at emacs
startup.

The anything-command-map is now prefixed at '<f5> a', what can be
discussed.
If user like a command and want to replace it with standard
emacs command, he can bind it to global-map 
(e.g anything-find-files <=> find-file ==> C-x C-f)

There is also a menu showing important commands (again this list can be
discussed) that appear when autoloading anything-command-map.

We'll add autoload cookies to them.

The preconfigured anything commands are too many to include into menus
and some commands overlap other commands.
For example, M-x anything-for-files handles buffers (M-x anything-buffers+),
recentf (M-x anything-recentf), bookmarks (M-x anything-bookmarks) and locate (M-x anything-locate).
We offer single source (anything-c-source-*) and multiple sources commands so that
users can select preferred commands.

Instead of binding all anything commands to menu and keymap,
I created a navigator command for anything-* commands.
M-x anything-execute-anything-command lists all anything commands in anything-config.el.
Users can search and select appropriate command.
Then users can bind it to keys.

I think small amount of commands should be bound to menu and keymap.

It is already done, with a anything-command-map and a menu
(anything-config.el).
The prefix command is for the moment "<f5> a" for all anything commands.
The list or commands in menu and/or in anything-command-map should be
discussed, the prefix "f5 a" also.

Having gone through the same steps, plus some private discussion with
Thierry, here's my take on it:

   anything.el provides an alternate selection mechanism that differs
   from the usual minibuffer+completion mechanism in various ways,
   such as:
   - the *Completions* buffer is always displayed.
   - the *Completions* buffer is where the action takes place.
   - ...
   - the action to perform on the object(s) you selected is (or can be)
     chosen from the *Completions* buffer, i.e. after selecting the
     object rather than before.
   
   I.e. one difference is that the UI for selection is a bit different.
   And another is that the "paradigm" is changed from "choose action
   then choose on which object to apply it" to "choose object(s) and
   then choose action to apply to it/them".

I haven't delved far enough to give much further details.  I think it
would be good to try and decouple some of those aspects, especially
since I think that some of them could be included in
completion-list-mode (i.e. in the default UI).

Does this mean you'd rather not include anything.el in Emacs?

My view is that the anything.el system, separated from the Emacs
completion mechanism, has significant freedom with plugins and
functionality.  So improving the completion mechanism is not the same as
what anything.el can provide for Emacs users.

As you guess i think, this access to anything repo is not public, the
public access to anything is:

URL             git://repo.or.cz/anything-config.git
                http://repo.or.cz/r/anything-config.git
