The displayed list is ;; updated dynamically as you type more characters or delete some. ;; ;; Needs an up-to-date locate database for file name searching. ;; ;; Since the search is based on locate you can use any globbing ;; characters allowed by the locate command. ;; ;; You can move up/down the list with the cursor keys (I know these ;; bindings are not very Emacsian, but I happen to like them) and ;; select a file to open with Enter. ;; ;; You can quit with C-g. ;; ;; See the variable `globalff-map' for further bindings. ;; ;; ;; XEmacs port was done by Stefan Kamphausen. ;; Customize support contributed by Lennart Borgman and Stefan Kamphausen. ;; Camel case support added by Eyal Erez. ;; ;;; Code: (eval-when-compile (require 'cl)) (if (featurep 'xemacs) (require 'overlay)) ;; ;; User configurable variables ;; (defgroup globalff nil "Globally find a file using locate." :tag "GlobalFF" :link '(url-link :tag "Home Page" "http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/GlobalFF") :link '(emacs-commentary-link :tag "Commentary in globalff.el" "globalff.el") :prefix "globalff-" :group 'convenience) (defcustom globalff-case-sensitive-search nil "*Whether to use case sensitive pattern matching." :type 'boolean :group 'globalff) (defcustom globalff-regexp-search nil "*Whether to use regular expression pattern matching." :type 'boolean :group 'globalff) (defcustom globalff-camelcase-search nil "*Whether to use camelcase pattern matching.
