1.1 root 1: This is a catalog of EMACS macros in the library
2:
3: balance: W. A. Montgomery (Version 3.4)
4: This file contains macros to display for each closing
5: parenthesis, brace, or bracket, the matching opening
6: character. It re-defines these characters to do so, and
7: beeps if no match is found. The effect on the file is the
8: same as if the macro library were not there with the
9: exception that } always behaves as it does in C mode. The
10: maximum nesting depth that can be handled is about 20.
11:
12: rmail: W. A. Montgomery (version 3.4)
13: This file contains a macro put on ^Xr for processing mail.
14: It gathers new and old mail (old mail from $HOME/rmail) and
15: allows the user to peruse it. ? provides a brief
16: description of the available commands. Among others, you
17: can selectively delete and undelete messages, reply to
18: messages, write messages to files, and gather the most
19: recent UNIX news items.
20:
21: vmail: W. A. Montgomery (version 4.0)
22: This file contains a macro that responds to your mail while
23: you are vacation. It will copy all new mail into
24: $HOME/rmail, and respond to each message, giving the date of
25: the message, the file $HOME/response, and your signature to
26: each. The macro is put on ^Xv when loaded.
27: The intended use of this package is to set it up to run
28: periodically while you are away on vacation (or for some
29: other extended period of time) via at(1) jobs or the like.
30: You do this by having the job run emacs -i <foo> where foo
31: is a file that does ^X^Lvmail\n^Xv^Z. Each time you run it,
32: all new mail is replied to, and accumulates in $HOME/rmail
33: awating your return.
34:
35: abbrev: W. A. Montgomery (version 3.2)
36: This file contains a single macro that is put on @ that
37: causes abbreviations to be expanded. The word preceeding
38: the '@' is looked up in a list of abbreviations for
39: expansion. The abbreviation list
40: is taken from the file .abbrevs in the current directory.
41: The file contains a series of entries of the form:
42:
43: abbreviation@ what it expands to.
44:
45: Everything after the "@ " up to the next line containing
46: an '@' becomes the expansion of "abbreviation", so that you
47: may have multi-line abbreviations if you like.
48:
49: appropos: W. A. Montgomery (version 3.2)
50: This file contains a single macro on ^X? that provides a
51: different form of help information. ^X? will prompt for a
52: subject, and display help explanations for all commands and
53: macros that pertain to that subject. (actually, the subject
54: is used as a search string and all help explanations that
55: include the subject are displayed).
56:
57: lcase: W. A. Montgomery (version 3.4)
58: This file contains macros for converting letters or words to lower
59: case. M-l converts a single letter to lower case, while ^Xl
60: converrts an entire word to lower case.
61:
62: refmac: W. A. Montgomery (version 3.2)
63: This file contains macros to interface with J. W. Leth's
64: nroff pre processor (nrpp) to maintain reference lists in
65: memoranda. M-R places the user in the bibliography
66: file, and allows the user to move around in the
67: bibliography file through ordinary emacs commands.
68: When the user exits from the bilbliography file via
69: ^Z, the reference definition at the cursor position in the
70: bibliography is put into the file being edited at the cursor
71: position where M-R was invoked. If the cursor position in
72: the bibliography is at the beginning of the buffer, no
73: reference definition is inserted into the edited file.
74: ^XR can be used
75: while in the bibliography file to send the reference
76: description at the cursor position to the department
77: clerk for inclusion in the department bibliography.
78:
79: spell: W. A. Montgomery (Version 3.4)
80: This macro package contains a single macro on M-S
81: that causes the spell program to be invoked on the
82: file in the buffer, and causes the result to be
83: analyzed. The words found by spell are filtered through a
84: local dictionary (maintained in $HOME/.dict) so that you can
85: add words to your local dictionary that are not in the spell
86: dictionary.
87:
88: For each misspelled word, spell will prompt for
89: action. You can file the word in your local dictionary by
90: typing 'd'. 'n' goes to the next word without looking up the
91: occurances of the current word. '?' displays instructions.
92:
93: A space causes the cursor to move to the first occurance of
94: the misspelled word. You can then edit the file to correct
95: the word and type ^Z to move on to the next occurance. When
96: you reach the last occurance, spell moves on to the next word.
97:
98: tags: W. A. Montgomery (Version 3.6)
99: Tags is a macro library that facilitates working with
100: a collection of related files. This package works
101: with a tags file, which defines a set of names for
102: positions in the files. The macro placed on
103: ^Xf will prompt for a tag name, reads the file
104: containing the position implied by the specified
105: tag, and moves to the indicated position. This is
106: useful, for example, with a set of source files that
107: contain C function definitions when you want to find
108: a function and don't know or care what file it is in.
109:
110: A second macro in this package (C_TAGS) can be used
111: to construct a tags file from a C source file. When
112: C_TAGS is invoked, it scans the current buffer for
113: function definitions, and prompts you. If you enter
114: a space, it defines a tag whose name is the function.
115: Any other character causes the current definition to
116: be ignored. Note: If you declare functions with
117: types, like char *foobar(x,y), put the type on one
118: line and the function definition on a line by
119: itself, otherwise this will not work.
120:
121: The command ^xt defines a tag from the current line of the
122: current file, and can be used to update tags files.
123:
124: The tags are accumulated in a buffer called .tags
125: which should be saved before you exit emacs. Tags
126: from several files can be put in the same tags file
127: simply by running C_TAGS on several source files.
128: There is currently no check for an attempt to
129: re-define the same tag name, which will fail.
130:
131: For those who like the nitty gritty, the format of
132: the tags file is a series of entries of the form
133:
134: @<tag_name>:<file_name>:<search_string>:
135:
136: Any of the fields can contain any character
137: (including newline) except : and @.
138:
139: crypt: W. A. Montgomery (Version 4.0)
140: This macro library contains macros for reading and writing
141: files encrypted with crypt (1). The library has three macros:
142:
143: ^XR (READ_ENCRYPTED) This macro prompts the user for a key
144: and a file name and reads the specfied file into the current
145: buffer.
146:
147: ^XW (WRITE_ENCRYPTED) This macro prompts for a key and a
148: file name and writes the buffer to the file, using the key
149: specified.
150:
151: ^XS (SAVE_ENCRYPTED) Prompts for a key and writes saves the
152: current buffer under the specified key.
153:
154: All of these commands are rather slow, as they use the crypt
155: command to do the reading and writing.
156:
157: debug: W. A. Montgomery (Version 4.0)
158:
159: This library contains several useful macros for debugging
160: and generaal programming.
161:
162: display_killstack: Puts the items in the kill stack into a
163: buffer, and allows you to examine them.
164:
165: PNUMB: Converts its argument to a character string and
166: leaves the result in the buffer at the current position.
167:
168: TO_DECIMAL: Converts the top item of the kill stack to
169: a decimal integer and returns the result.
170:
171: loader: W. A. Montgomery (Version 4.1)
172:
173: This file contains a number of macros to load macros from
174: this library when invoked. If you use macros like spell,
175: rmail, refmac, and crypt, infrequently, load loader instead.
176: When you first invoke a macro in any of those libraries it
177: will be automatically loaded for you.
178:
179: shell: Joe Steffen and Bill Paulson (Version 4.4)
180: This file contains macros that provide convenient execution
181: of your frequently executed shell commands, and allow you to
182: see the output of several commands at once.
183:
184: The M-E macro allows you to edit a file of shell commands
185: called $HOME/.commands. Enter the
186: command(s) you want to execute on a line, or move the cursor to a
187: different line of commands, and optionally enter ^Z to exit. Enter
188: M-^E to execute the command line the cursor was pointing at. The
189: shell output will be put into the .exec buffer and
190: displayed in the bottom emacs window, unless
191: the command line started with a '!', in which case the
192: output will be displayed as the commands execute.
193:
194: The M-C macro displays the current line in
195: this file in case you forget. M-N and M-P move the cursor down and up,
196: respectively, in the file and display the current line. They take an
197: argument just like ^N and ^P. These commands make it easy to switch
198: between several command lines without using the M-E macro.
199:
200: The ^Xs macro executes the shell interactively
201: instead of prompting for each command. This allows cd
202: commands to stay in effect and allows you to see the results of
203: several commands. The prompt is changed to 'emacs' to remind you
204: that you are still within emacs. Enter ^D instead of a null line to
205: return to emacs.
206:
207: list: C. Douglas Blewett (DR30L19) Version 4
208:
209: This file contains a command that allows the user to edit
210: (recursively) a list of files. This is much like vi's :next
211: command. The list of files is collected in .exec and the files
212: are edited in .list. This is useful for making changes in a global
213: variable that appears in a list of files (e.g. ^XL *.c).
214:
215: If an argument other than 1 is given then the command looks up the
216: file name in the directories known to contain manual pages. This
217: routine contains a string with embedded paths to the manual
218: directories.
219:
220: An "ls -d" is performed, so full Bourne shell style wild carding is
221: available. This is very useful for manual page searches
222: (e.g. ^U^XL *open*).
223:
224: Modified to preserve the sanity of .exec. Saves the point, mark,
225: and extent of .exec.
226:
227: registers: C. Douglas Blewett (DR30L19) Version 4
228:
229: This file contains two routines for implementing registers
230: (like those found in MIT EMACS or TECO). M-P copies the current
231: area into the named register. M-G copies the named register
232: to the current point.
233:
234: The registers are kept in a buffer named .registers
235:
236: wild: C. Douglas Blewett (DR30L19) Version 4
237:
238: This file contains assorted wild carding routines. The
239: macro "Wild" wild cards
240: the string found in the kill stack and returns its result in the
241: kill stack. The interface routines (those called directly by the
242: user) prompt for a string containing wild carding characters.
243:
244: Modified to preserve the sanity of .exec. Saves the point, mark,
245: and extent of .exec.
246:
247: Interface routines
248: ^Xc change directory
249: ^Xr read file
250: ^Xf find file
251:
252: shift: C. Douglas Blewett (DR30L19) Version 4
253:
254: Shift a region right or left. An argument of != 1 shift
255: left, otherwise right. This is very useful for programing
256: a highly indented language.
257:
258: Concept100.pad: C. Douglas Blewett (DR30L19) Version 4
259:
260: This routine handles all of the Concept100 cursor pad keys.
261:
262: This routine assumes that the escape character for the Concept
263: has been changed to ^\. This should have been done in the
264: c100* terminal data base file. All escapes are changed to ^\.
265: This routine also takes advantage of the different handling of
266: the comment character interactively and in macros by EMACS.
267:
268: Keys handled Approximate translation
269: HOME M-g
270: PAGE (upper and lower) M-v and ^V
271: SCROL (upper and lower) M-3^P and M-3^N
272: B TAB ^R^I
273: BREAK ^G
274: All of the arrowed keys line or character movement
275:
276: Arguments supplied to these commands multiply the affect.
277:
278: The first five programmable function keys (upper and lower) are
279: defined in the data base file
280: (INSRT, DEL CHAR, DEL & INS LINE, CLEAR EOP & EOL, and SEND).
281:
282: Modified to my own tastes 7/5/81: added MULT, reset & stat,
283: print and tape
284:
285: cc_list C. Douglas Blewett (DR30L19) Version 4
286:
287: Compiler and list interface (arg>1 file list), (arg<1 manual pages)
288: Interface routines
289:
290: ^XL - the main mono-lith - controls editing lists of files
291: ^X^@ - Creates the new command (or filename) generating routine
292: ^X^_ - Command or file name routine - returns on the kill stack
293:
294: Compiler and list interface routine. This routine prompts for a compiler
295: command (i.e. cc or make), runs it, and catches the output. If line numbers
296: are present in the output, the routine will position to the correct line.
297: Three formats can be handled by this routine.
298:
299: "filename.c", line 23: etc.
300: or
301: filename.c: 23: etc.
302: or
303: filename.c
304:
305: The last format is typical ls stuff.
306:
307: With an argument < 1 the routine prompts for a manual page specification
308: and searches the known directories for manual pages.
309:
310: With an argument > 1 the routine prompts for a file specification and
311: searches using an "ls -d file_spec"
312:
313: SPECIAL STUFF FOR DEFAULT COMMANDS: WARNING creates a new routine
314:
315: This routine, ^XL, when used as a compiler interface calls ^X^_ to detemine
316: what command to issue. ^X^_ can be setup to return a default command
317: (rather than prompting the user) by running the ^X^@ command. ^X^@
318: actually creates a new macro for ^X^_. It isn't LISP, but it works.
319:
320: The compiler interface (arg == 1) reads files in using ^X^F. No
321: attempt is made to garbage collect buffers. This does not pose a
322: real problem, becuase the routine places the user in the buffer .list
323: when this happens. At that point the user can use ^X^K to remove
324: un-needed buffers. ^X^F is used instead of ^X^R because it is very
325: likely with compiles that the user already has the file in a buffer
326: and want to keep it there (and current).
327:
328: The list (arg > 1) and manual page (arg < 1) facility uses the
329: buffer .list to read files using ^X^R. These routines more or less
330: automatically garbage collect buffer space.
331:
332: home: C. Douglas Blewett (DR30L19) Version 4
333:
334: This file contains assorted macors that help the user move quickly or
335: accurately around the screen. The central rountines are M-H and
336: M-L (top and bottom of the screen).
337:
338: Interface routines
339: M-H - home or top of screen
340: M-L - last or bottom of screen
341: M-M - Middle of screen
342: ^\ - back one line - adds a line at the top of the screen
343: ^_ - forward one line - adds a line at the bottom of the screen
344:
345: filter: Warren Montgomery, 6E-314, Version 4.3
346:
347: This file contains one macro, filter_region, which is put on
348: the key M-#.
349:
350: This macro takes the marked region of the current buffer, prompts
351: for a command to run, passes the text from the marked region to the
352: specified command, and replaces the text from the marked
353: region with the output. Thus marking a list of names
354: appearing in an nroff source and invoking M-# with the
355: command "sort" will cause the list to be sorted. The macro
356: makes use of a temporary file (/tmp/$LOGNAME.emacs) to hold
357: some intermediate results.
358:
359:
360: nlpack: Warren Montgomery 6E-314, Version 4.3
361: This file contains a macro that implements a move to
362: next(previous) line command that moves to the same screen
363: position in the next line. The macro is put on ^N. It
364: moves to the same cursor position in the line that follows.
365: If a sequence of ^N or ^P commands is given, it tries to
366: stay in the same column, even if some of the intermediate
367: lines are too short.
368:
369: Actually, the ^N macro reads characters and carries out the
370: movement so long as the character read is a ^N or a ^P. Any
371: other character breaks out of ^N.
372:
373: To get the same effect on ^P, invoke M-:^P^N. when nlpack
374: has been loaded.
375:
376: Note that this macro may be significantly slower than the
377: built in movement commands. Also, since it changes the
378: built in commands ^P and ^N, it may interact with other
379: macros that use them.
380:
381:
382: Draw: W. A. Montgomery (Version 4.5)
383:
384: This file contains several macros that are useful for
385: drawing pictures on the screen. These should be run in
386: picture mode, with nodelete and overwrite modes set as well.
387:
388: The draw macro allows the user to draw on the screen in
389: picture mode by steering the cursor with the "home" keys of
390: the right hand. The keys uiojlm,. are used to indicate up
391: and left, up, up and right, left, right, down and left,
392: down, and down and right. Each key replaces the character
393: under the cursor by one of: '-' '|' '\' or '/' and moves
394: the cursor in the indicated direction. This provides a
395: simple way of drawing stick figures on the screen for use
396: with gc.
397:
398: The downline macro draws a verticle line of length equal to
399: its argument down the screen starting from the current
400: position. This is an internal macro used by the box
401: command, however it is useful in itself. It is put on M-|
402:
403: The box macro draws boxes using | and -. It draws a box
404: with corners where the current position and the mark are
405: set. These can be in any corners of the desired box. The
406: cursor is left at the lower right hand corner of the box.
407:
408: Keyboard Macro enhancements
409: Author: George Furnas (alice!gwf)
410: Date: 11/1/82
411: Version: 4.5
412:
413: The allow saving a small ad hoc library of keyboard macross that can
414: be referred to by name. It also allows editing the macros easily and
415: is set up to encourage keeping documentation on the macros up to
416: date.
417:
418: Macros are saved in a directory $HOME/.kbdmac.dir under names
419: km.NAME where NAME is the user specified name by which the keyboard
420: macro is to be known, called, etc. (The directory must be created
421: ahead of time.)
422:
423: Since the macros allow no internal documentation, a brief amount
424: documentation is kept in a file called $HOME/.kbdmac.dir/README.doc
425: The keyboard macro editing and renaming macros always finish up by
426: pausing with a buffer of this documentation which is to be edited
427: recursively to keep it up to date. They go to old entries or create
428: new ones as needed.
429:
430:
431: M-^N: name_kbdmac names keyboard macro. prompts for name
432: This allows you to save the current standard (unnamed)
433: keyboard macro under the name specified. First, however,
434: it pulls the macro into a buffer for perusal and/or editing
435: (idea was to at the very least make usre you knew what you
436: were naming.) Then it asks for a name, and finally it
437: gives you the README.doc file for any short one-line comments
438: you might like to make on the newly named macro. (A
439: recursive edit, exited as usual by ^Z)
440:
441: M-X: execute_named_kbdmac executes named keyboard macro <arg> times
442: This simply prompts for the name of the previously stored
443: keyboard macro, and executes it. It it is called with an
444: argument, it executes it <arg> times.
445:
446: M-^E: edit_named_kbdmac edits named keyboard macro
447: This allows you to alter (edit recursively) a previously named
448: keyboard macro. It prompts for the name, pulls in the
449: appropriate file, and enters a recursive edit. When you are done
450: editing it (hitting ^Z, as usual) it goes and gets the
451: README.doc file, at the appropriate line, in case you want to
452: edit the comments on the macro. (Also a recursive edit,
453: exited by ^Z)
