;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Defines the mode `minibuffer-electric-default-mode'.
;;
;; When active, minibuffer prompts that show a default value only show
;; the default when it's applicable -- that is, when hitting RET would
;; yield the default value. If the user modifies the input such that
;; hitting RET would enter a non-default value, the prompt is modified
;; to remove the default indication (which is restored if the input is
;; ever restore to the match the initial input).
;;; Code:
(defvar minibuffer-default-in-prompt-regexps
'(("\\( (default\\>.*)\\):? \\'" . 1))
"*A list of regexps matching the parts of minibuffer prompts showing defaults.
When `minibuffer-electric-default-mode' is active, these regexps are
used to identify the portions of prompts to elide.
Each entry is either a string, which should be a regexp matching the
default portion of the prompt, or a cons cell, who's car is a regexp
matching the default part of the prompt, and who's cdr indicates the
regexp subexpression that matched.")
