Re: Distinguishing: Temporary v. Semi-Permanent -- Horizontal Scrolling

[Keith David Bershatsky <esq@lawlist.com>]

As far as I am aware, there are four (4) basic situations that I need to be aware of in terms of horizontal scrolling:

1a.  Temporary Horizontal Scrolling:  (scroll-left 1)
1b.  Current line is horizontally scrolled the same as all other lines.

2a.  Temporary Horizontal Scrolling:  (scroll-left 1)
2b.  Current line is horizontally scrolled _differently_ than all other lines.
2c.  Assumes (setq-local auto-hscroll-mode 'current-line)

3a.  Semi-permanent Horizontal Scrolling:  (scroll-left 1 t)
3b.  Current line is horizontally scrolled the same as all other lines.

4a.  Semi-permanent Horizontal Scrolling:  (scroll-left 1 t)
4b.  Current line is horizontally scrolled _differently_ than all other lines.
4c.  Assumes (setq-local auto-hscroll-mode 'current-line)

In a previous post, you taught me that (it->w->min_hscroll > 0) tells us that semi-permanent horizontal scrolling is in effect.

I have been using the following hscl test for the 2nd situation above:

  bool hscl = (!it->w->suspend_auto_hscroll
               && EQ (Fbuffer_local_value (Qauto_hscroll_mode, buf), Qcurrent_line)
               && it->w->hscroll > 0);

The hscl test is _true_ for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th situations above.  Thus, the hscl test does not help us distinguish between the 3rd and 4th situations above.

Q:  In addition to (it->w->min_hscroll > 0), what test will help us distinguish between the 3rd and 4th situations above?
