Proposal for `define-toggle-variable'
17 years, 7 months
Zajcev Evgeny
Zajcev Evgeny
Hello there!
I would like to see macro like below, defined somewhere in (S)XEmacs
distribution:
(defmacro define-toggle-variable (var value doc &rest args)
"Define new toggle variable.
VAR is either a symbol, or list of two symbols in form
(VARNAME FUNCNAME), where VARNAME specifies name for variable and
FUNCNAME specifies name for toggle command.
VALUE, DOC and ARGS are same as for `defcustom'.
ARGS may content additional :message keyword of boolean value.
If value for :message keyword is non-nil then display message in echo
area when toggling value."
(let ((funame (or (and (listp var) (cadr var)) var))
(var (or (and (listp var) (car var)) var))
(msg (plist-get args :message)))
(setq args (plist-remprop args :message))
`(progn
(defcustom ,var ,value ,doc
:type 'boolean ,＠args)
(defun ,funame (arg)
,(format "Toggle `%s' on or off." var)
(interactive "_P")
(customize-set-variable
',var (if (null arg)
(not ,var)
(> (prefix-numeric-value arg) 0)))
,(when msg
`(message "%S is %s" ',var (if ,var "ON" "OFF")))))))
this macro simplifies definition of toggle variables/commands. For
example:
(define-toggle-variable (debug-on-error toggle-debug-on-error) nil
"Toggle debugger on error."
:message t)
or
(define-toggle-variable
(whitespace-check-buffer-trailing whitespace-toggle-trailing-check) nil
"Toggle checking for trailing space in buffer."
:message nil
:set (lambda (s v)
(set s v)
(message "Will%s check for trailing space in buffer."
(if v "" " not"))
(when v (whitespace-buffer-trailing))))
What do you think guys, do we need that stuff? And if we do, what is
the best place to put it in?
Thanks!

Scrollbar Left Side
17 years, 7 months
David Raleigh Arnold
David Raleigh Arnold
It should be obvious that it is better to have the vertical scrollbar
on the left side, because there is more text on the left side than
the right and because it is more common to want to access the beginning
of a line than the end. Bill Gates puts scrollbars on the right so that
the window will seem more like the page of a written book. This makes
no sense, but it's done that way so that windows users won't be afraid.
That's fine. Why can't I persuade xemacs to put the vertical scrollbar
on the left side, where I want it? I can't find any option, or
documentation for one, anywhere on the xemacs web site.
There is a way with emacs, but it's not in their menus either. daveA

[Bug] [21.4] Custom buffers missing lotsa buttons
17 years, 7 months
Didier Verna
Didier Verna
Hi !
That's with the latest CVS XEmacs 21.4 and packages. My Custom buffers
are missing a lot of buttons under X11. I get no particular message or
error or anything. I usually start a gnuclient -nw to customize stuff;
that's really annoying.
Does somebody know what's going on ?
Here's some info:
A custom buffer (created on an X11 frame):

The same one created on a tty frame, and then viewed in an x11 one:

[RFC] whitespace.el
17 years, 7 months
Didier Verna
Didier Verna
Hello,
I have some extensions to whitespace.el that I'd like to commit, but I
would like to know the status wrt GNU Emacs:
- No news from the apparent maintainer: Rajesh Vaidheeswarran <rv(a)gnu.org>
- Last incorporation in packages seems to be 2 years old:
$Id: whitespace.el,v 1.3 2005/03/25 17:09:08 aidan Exp $
- But it says: Synched up with: FSF 21.3.
- Advertised URL is inoperative: http://www.dsmit.com/lisp/
So, should I just commit my changes, propose them to the GNU Emacs team,
or what ?
