33 ;; Scrolling can be distracting because your eyes may lose
34 ;; orientation. This library implements a minor mode that highlights
35 ;; the previously visible buffer part after each scroll.
37 ;; Installation: Put this library somewhere in your load-path, or
38 ;; install via M-x package-list-packages. Then add to your init-file:
40 ;; (require 'on-screen)
42 ;; To invoke on-screen globally for all buffers, also add
44 ;; (on-screen-global-mode +1)
46 ;; Alternatively you can use the buffer local version `on-screen-mode'.
47 ;; For example, add this line to your init file:
49 ;; (add-hook 'Info-mode-hook 'on-screen-mode)
51 ;; to enable it in all Info buffers.
53 ;; By default, fringe markers are used for highlighting - see
54 ;; `on-screen-highlight-method' to change that. Type M-x
55 ;; customize-group RET on-screen RET to see what else can be
56 ;; configured. If you use a configuration file (.emacs), you may also
57 ;; want to define mode specific settings by using buffer local
58 ;; variables. For example, to use non intrusive fringe markers by
59 ;; default, but transparent overlays in w3m, you would add
63 ;; (defun my-w3m-setup-on-screen ()
64 ;; (setq-local on-screen-highlight-method 'shadow)))
68 ;; If you use transparent overlays for highlighting and there is the
69 ;; library "hexrgb.el" in your `load-path', it will be used to compute
70 ;; highlighting colors dynamically instead of using constant faces.
71 ;; I.e. if you use non-default background colors (e.g. from custom
72 ;; themes), on-screen will try to perform highlighting with a
73 ;; suitable, slightly different color. See
74 ;; `on-screen-highlighting-to-background-delta' to control this.
77 ;; Implementation notes (mainly for myself):
79 ;; Implementing this functionality is not as straightforward as one
80 ;; might think. There are commands that scroll other windows than the
81 ;; current one. Not only scrolling commands can scroll text - also
82 ;; editing or even redisplay can cause windows to scroll. There is
83 ;; weird stuff such as folding and narrowing, influencing the visible
84 ;; buffer part. And although highlighting is realized in the
85 ;; displayed buffers (with overlays), it must be organized on a
86 ;; per-window basis, because different buffer parts may be displayed
87 ;; in different windows, and their highlightings must not interfere.
89 ;; That all makes it necessary to observe windows via hacks in
90 ;; different hooks, and to manage information about buffers, visible
91 ;; parts and timers in a data structure (`on-screen-data'). It is
92 ;; realized as an association list whose keys are windows. There are
93 ;; some pitfalls - e.g. the data can be out of date if the window
94 ;; configuration has changed and windows display different buffers
95 ;; now. The data must be updated, but not simply be thrown away,
96 ;; because the highlightings in the old buffers must be removed
102 ;; This library was inspired by a similar feature of the "Conqueror"
105 ;; Thanks for Drew Adams for testing and contributions.
