Re: mode-fn.el v1.0 --- Execute mode-specific function using a common function name

Here's a similar package I wrote a while ago: use defmodel to define the calling conventions (and create the dispatching function) and defmodal to define the implementation for a mode or modes. modal-functions.el -- make a function which despatches on current major mode ;;; Time-stamp:

Sorry, that got garbled by the posting system... here is one trimmed to be narrow enough not to provoke that (I hope): modal-functions.el -- make a function which despatches on current major mode ;;; Time-stamp: 2011-03-11 12:04:31 johnstu ;; ;; Copyright (C) 2004, 2006, 2011 John C.

In-buffer viewer for DVI files

I found a machine I was using didn't have xdvi, so I wrote some elisp to call dvipng and put the resulting pages together in an Emacs buffer; then I made it into a major mode, with next and previous commands, etc. Here it is: dvi-view.el -- View a DVI file in an Emacs buffer ;;; Time-stamp:

A combined installer and configurer, with on-demand loading

Here's a combined installer and configurer, which defines an autofetch (like autoload, but downloading from the network -- or other media) and also conveniently sets up various things it's useful to have on eval-after-load forms. This lets you write package descriptions such as: (use-package vm

odf-mode.el

Here is a very rudimentary major mode for handling Open Document Format files. Not fully usable yet, I'm really releasing it to see whether anyone else is doing something similar, or can do a better job of this than I can, before I put much more time into it. In the present form, nested spans will

Re: other-window-or-buffer

Just out of curiousity, which keybinding have you replaced? C-x o or C-x b ? The keybinding it replaces is actually C-kp-next, but that's because, in order to reduce the load on my hands (I have RSI) I have a set of footswitch units daisy-chained onto the keyboard, each unit having three

Re: predictive.el -- New Release

There are lots of things that it might be useful to do on getting a RET keypress- perhaps a return-key-hook would be useful? Likewise, for some things I've done, I would have found an end-of-word-typed hook useful, to be triggered whenever the user types something that ends a word (probably at

jpeg-mode.el

I've written a major mode for jpeg files, which displays a more human-readable interpretation of the meta-data by means of overlays. The interpretation is not complete yet, but I'll carry on filling it in as time goes by. The code is at

Banner text generator

Here's one I wrote long ago: a banner text generator, that converts strings to large ASCII-art letters. It's at http://www.cb1.com/~john/computing/emacs/lisp/misc/banner.el ___ gnu-emacs-sources mailing list gnu-emacs-sources@gnu.org

split-window-multi

http://www.cb1.com/~john/computing/emacs/lisp/appearance/split-window-multi.el contains code to put lots of buffers on your screen at once, either vertically, or horizontally, or in a square grid. You can then pick the one you want, and do delete-other-windows from it.

other-window-or-buffer

Here's one of those commands I wouldn't be without, to avoid all that typing of buffer names (and all that hurried mistyping of buffer names). (defun other-window-or-buffer () (interactive) Switch to the next window, or, if there is only one window, the next buffer. If done repeatedly when

Re: Colour scheme chooser

Thanks -- I hadn't seen that... it looks much better than mine. I was starting to go through my collection to share them rather than hoard them, but now I think I should first go through them to see what I've duplicated, first! ___ gnu-emacs-sources
