This is an extension to the paren.el ;; file distributed with Emacs. The default behaviour is similar to ;; paren.el but more sophisticated. Normally you can try all default ;; settings to enjoy mic-paren. ;; ;; Or - if you are a LaTeX writer like the current maintainer - try the ;; following additional setup in your .emacs: ;; ;; ;; In LaTeX-mode we want this ;; (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook ;; (function (lambda () ;; (paren-toggle-matching-quoted-paren 1) ;; (paren-toggle-matching-paired-delimiter 1)))) ;; ;; Or - if you are programming in C like languages - try also: ;; (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook ;; (function (lambda () ;; (paren-toggle-open-paren-context 1)))) ;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; Installation: ;; ;; o Place this file in a directory in your 'load-path and byte-compile ;; it. You can surely ignore the warnings. ;; o Put the following in your .emacs file: ;; (GNU Emacs supports mic-paren only within a window-system but XEmacs ;; supports mic-paren also without X) ;; (when (or (string-match "XEmacs\\|Lucid" emacs-version) window-system) ;; (require 'mic-paren) ; loading ;; (paren-activate) ; activating ;; ;;; set here any of the customizable variables of mic-paren: ;; ;;; ... ;; ) ;; o Restart your Emacs. mic-paren is now installed and activated! ;; o To list the possible customizations enter `C-h f paren-activate' or ;; go to the customization group `mic-paren-matching'. ;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; Long Description: ;; ;; mic-paren.el is an extension and replacement to the packages paren.el ;; and stig-paren.el for Emacs. When mic-paren is active Emacs normal ;; parenthesis matching is deactivated. Instead parenthesis matching will ;; be performed as soon as the cursor is positioned at a parenthesis. The ;; matching parenthesis (or the entire expression between the ;; parentheses) is highlighted until the cursor is moved away from the ;; parenthesis. Features include: ;; o Both forward and backward parenthesis matching (simultaneously if ;; cursor is between two expressions). ;; o Indication of mismatched parentheses. ;; o Recognition of "escaped" (also often called "quoted") parentheses. ;; o Option to match "escaped" parens too, especially in (La)TeX-mode ;; (e.g. matches expressions like "\(foo bar\)" properly). ;; o Offers two functions as replacement for forward-sexp and ;; backward-sexp which handle properly quoted parens (s.a.). These new ;; functions can automatically be bounded to the original binding of ;; the standard forward-sexp and backward-sexp functions. ;; o Option to activate matching of paired delimiter (i.e. characters with ;; syntax '$'). This is useful for writing in LaTeX-mode for example. ;; o Option to select in which situations (always, never, if match, if ;; mismatch) the entire expression should be highlighted or only the ;; matching parenthesis. ;; o Message describing the match when the matching parenthesis is off-screen ;; (vertical and/or horizontal). Message contains either the linenumber or ;; the number of lines between the two matching parens. Option to select in ;; which cases this message should be displayed. ;; o Optional delayed highlighting (useful on slow systems), ;; o Functions to activate/deactivate mic-paren.el are provided. ;; o Numerous options to control the behaviour and appearance of ;; mic-paren.el. ;; ;; mic-paren.el was originally developed and tested under Emacs 19.28 - ;; 20.3. It should work on earlier and forthcoming Emacs versions. XEmacs ;; compatibility has been provided by Steven L Baur . ;; Jan Dubois (jaduboi@ibm.net) provided help to get mic-paren to work in ;; OS/2. Mic-paren versions >= v2.1 are only tested with recent Emacsen ;; (FSF Emacs >= 20.3.1 and XEmacs >= 21.1) but should also work with ;; earlier versions of (X)Emacs. ;; ;; This file can be obtained from "The EmacsWiki" and here from the ;; packages-site: http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/index.html ;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; Available customizable options: ;; - `paren-priority' ;; - `paren-overlay-priority' ;; - `paren-sexp-mode' ;; - `paren-highlight-at-point' ;; - `paren-highlight-offscreen' ;; - `paren-display-message' ;; - `paren-message-linefeed-display' ;; - `paren-message-no-match' ;; - `paren-message-show-linenumber' ;; - `paren-message-truncate-lines' ;; - `paren-ding-unmatched' ;; - `paren-delay' ;; - `paren-dont-touch-blink' ;; - `paren-match-face' ;; - `paren-mismatch-face' ;; - `paren-no-match-paren' ;; - `paren-bind-modified-sexp-functions' ;; Available customizable faces: ;; - `paren-face-match' ;; - `paren-face-mismatch' ;; - `paren-face-no-match' ;; Available commands: ;; - `paren-activate' ;; - `paren-deactivate' ;; - `paren-toggle-matching-paired-delimiter' ;; - `paren-toggle-matching-quoted-paren' ;; - `paren-toggle-open-paren-context' ;; - `paren-forward-sexp' ;; - `paren-backward-sexp' ;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; IMPORTANT NOTES (important for people who have customized mic-paren ;; from within elisp): ;; - In version >= 3.3 the prefix "mic-" has been removed from the ;; command-names 'mic-paren-forward-sexp' and 'mic-paren-backward-sexp'. ;; Now all user-functions and -options begin with the prefix "paren-" ;; because this package should be a replacement of the other ;; paren-packages like paren.el and stig-paren.el! ;; - In version >= 3.2 the prefix "mic-" has been removed from the ;; command-names 'mic-paren-toggle-matching-quoted-paren' and ;; 'mic-paren-toggle-matching-paired-delimiter'. ;; - In versions >= 3.1 mic-paren is NOT auto. activated after loading. ;; - In versions >= 3.0 the variable 'paren-face' has been renamed to ;; `paren-match-face'. ;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; Versions: ;; v3.7 + Removed the message "You should be in LaTeX-mode!". ;; + Fixed a bug in `paren-toggle-matching-quoted-paren'. ;; + Fixed some misspellings in the comments and docs. ;; ;; v3.6 + Fixed a very small bug in `mic-paren-horizontal-pos-visible-p'. ;; + The informational messages like "Matches ... [+28]" which are ;; displayed if the matching paren is offscreen, do not longer ;; wasting the log. ;; ;; v3.5 + No mic-paren-messages are displayed if we are in isearch-mode. ;; + Matching quoted parens is switched on if entering a minibuffer. ;; This is useful for easier inserting regexps, e.g. with ;; `query-replace-regexp'. Now \(...\) will be highlighted in the ;; minibuffer. ;; + New option `paren-message-show-linenumber': You can determine the ;; computation of the offscreen-message-linenumber: Either the ;; number of lines between the two matching parens or the absolute ;; linenumber (Thank you for the idea and a first implementation to ;; Eliyahu Barzilay ). ;; + New option `paren-message-truncate-lines': If mic-paren messages ;; should be truncated ot not (has only an effect in GNU Emacs 21). ;; (Thank you for the idea and a first implementation to Eliyahu ;; Barzilay ). ;; ;; v3.4 + Corrected some bugs in the backward-compatibility for older ;; Emacsen. Thanks to Tetsuo Tsukamoto . ;; ;; v3.3 + Now the priority of the paren-overlays can be customized ;; (option `paren-overlay-priority'). For a description of the ;; priority of an overlay see in the emacs-lisp-manual the node ;; "Overlays". This option is mainly useful for experienced ;; users which use many packages using overlays to perform their ;; tasks. ;; + Now you can determine what line-context will be displayed if ;; the matching open paren is offscreen. In functional ;; programming languages like lisp it is useful to display the ;; following line in the echo-area if the opening matching paren ;; has no preceding text in the same line. ;; But in procedural languages like C++ or Java it is convenient ;; to display the first previous non empty line in this case ;; instead of the following line. Look at the new variable ;; `paren-open-paren-context-backward' and the related toggling ;; function `paren-toggle-open-paren-context' for a detailed ;; description of this new feature. ;; + In addition to the previous described new feature you can ;; specify how a linefeed in the message (e.g. if the matching ;; paren is offscreen) is displayed. This is mainly because the ;; standard echo-area display of a linefeed (^J) is bad to read. ;; Look at the option `paren-message-linefeed-display'. ;; + Solved a little bug in the compatibility-code for Emacsen ;; not supporting current customize-feature. ;; + Removed the prefix "mic-" from the commands ;; 'mic-paren-forward-sexp' and 'mic-paren-backward-sexp'. For ;; an explanation look at comments for version v3.2. ;; ;; v3.2 + The prefix "mic-" has been removed from the commands ;; 'mic-paren-toggle-matching-quoted-paren' and ;; 'mic-paren-toggle-matching-paired-delimiter'. This is because ;; of consistency. Now all user-variables, -faces and -commands ;; begin with the prefix "paren-" and all internal functions and ;; variables begin with the prefix "mic-paren-". ;; + Now you can exactly specify in which situations the whole ;; sexp should be highlighted (option `paren-sexp-mode'): ;; Always, never, if match or if mismatch. Tested with Gnus ;; Emacs >= 20.3.1 and XEmacs >= 21.1. ;; ;; v3.1 + From this version on mic-paren is not auto. loaded. To ;; activate it you must call `paren-activate' (either in your ;; .emacs or manually with M-x). Therefore the variable ;; `paren-dont-activate-on-load' is obsolet and has been ;; removed. ;; + Now mic-paren works also in older Emacsen without the ;; custom-feature. If the actual custom-library is provided ;; mic-paren use them and is full customizable otherwise normal ;; defvars are used for the options. ;; + Fix of a bug displaying a message if the matching paren is ;; horizontal out of view. ;; + All new features are now tested with XEmacs >= 21.1.6 ;; ;; v3.0 + Checking if matching paren is horizontally offscreen (in case ;; of horizontal scrolling). In that case the message is ;; displayed in the echo-area (anlogue to vertical offscreen). ;; In case of horizontal offscreen closing parenthesis the ;; displayed message is probably wider than the frame/window. So ;; you can only read the whole message if you are using a ;; package like mscroll.el (scrolling long messages) in GNU ;; Emacs. ;; + Now full customizable, means all user-options and -faces now ;; can be set with the custom-feature of Emacs. On the other ;; side this means this version of mic-paren only works with an ;; Emacs which provides the custom-package! ;; + In case of the matching paren is offscreen now the displayed ;; message contains the linenumber of the matching paren too. ;; This version is only tested with Gnu Emacs >= 20.4 and not with ;; any XEmacs! ;; Implemented by Klaus Berndl ;; ;; v2.3 No additional feature but replacing 'char-bytes and ;; 'char-before with 'mic-char-bytes and 'mic-char-before to ;; prevent the global-namespace. Now the new features of v2.1 ;; and v2.2 are also tested with XEmacs! ;; ;; v2.2 Adding the new feature for matching paired delimiter. Not ;; tested with XEmacs. Implemented by Klaus Berndl ;; ;; v2.1 Adding the new feature for matching escaped parens too. Not ;; tested with XEmacs. Implemented by Klaus Berndl ;; ;; v2.0 Support for MULE and Emacs 20 multibyte characters added. Inspired ;; by the suggestion and code of Saito Takaaki ;; ;; ;; v1.9 Avoids multiple messages/dings when point has not moved. Thus, ;; mic-paren no longer overwrites messages in minibuffer. Inspired by ;; the suggestion and code of Barzilay Eliyahu . ;; ;; v1.3.1 Some spelling corrected (from Vinicius Jose Latorre ;; and Steven L Baur ) ;; ;; v1.3 Added code from Vinicius Jose Latorre to ;; highlight unmatched parentheses (useful in minibuffer) ;; ;; v1.2.1 Fixed stuff to work with OS/2 emx-emacs ;; - checks if x-display-colour-p is bound before calling it ;; - changed how X/Lucid Emacs is detected ;; Added automatic load of the timer-feature (+ variable to disable ;; the loading) ;; TODO: ;; ;;; Code (defvar mic-paren-version "3.7" "Version string for mic-paren.") ;;; ====================================================================== ;; Compatibility stuff ;; BLOB to make custom stuff work even without customize (eval-and-compile (condition-case () (require 'custom) (error nil)) (unless (fboundp 'defgroup) (defmacro defgroup (&rest rest) nil)) (unless (fboundp 'defcustom) (defmacro defcustom (sym val str &rest rest) (` (defvar (, sym) (, val) (, str))))) (unless (fboundp 'defface) (defmacro defface (sym val str &rest rest) (` (defvar (, sym) (make-face '(, sym)) (, str)))))) ;;; ====================================================================== ;;; here begin the user options (defgroup mic-paren-matching nil "Showing advanced (un)matching of parens and expressions." :prefix "paren-" :group 'paren-matching) (defcustom paren-priority 'both "*Defines the behaviour of mic-paren when point is between a closing and an opening parenthesis.
