;;; Commentary:
|
|
|
|
;; This code defines a function, `completing-read-multiple', which
|
|
;; provides the ability to read multiple strings in the minibuffer,
|
|
;; with completion. See that function's documentation for details.
|
|
|
|
;; For the moment, I have decided to not bind any special behavior to
|
|
;; the separator key. In the future, the separator key might be used
|
|
;; to provide completion in certain circumstances. One of the reasons
|
|
;; why this functionality is not yet provided is that it is unclear to
|
|
;; the author what the precise circumstances are, under which
|
|
;; separator-invoked completion should be provided.
|
|
|
|
;; Design note: `completing-read-multiple' is modeled after
|
|
;; `completing-read'. They should be similar -- it was intentional.
|
|
|
|
;; Some of this code started out as translation from C code in
|
|
;; src/minibuf.c to Emacs Lisp code. After this code was rewritten in Elisp
|
|
;; and made to operate on any field, this file was completely rewritten to
|
|
;; just reuse that code.
|
|
|
|
;; Thanks to Sen Nagata <sen@eccosys.com> for the original version of the
|
|
;; code, and sorry for throwing it all out. --Stef
|
|
|
|
;; Thanks to Richard Stallman for all of his help (many of the good
|
|
;; ideas in here are from him), Gerd Moellmann for his attention,
|
|
;; Stefan Monnier for responding with a code sample and comments very
|
|
;; early on, and Kai Grossjohann & Soren Dayton for valuable feedback.
|
|
|
|
;;; Questions and Thoughts:
|
|
|
|
;; -should `completing-read-multiple' allow a trailing separator in
|
|
;; a return value when REQUIRE-MATCH is t? if not, should beep when a user
|
|
;; tries to exit the minibuffer via RET?
|
|
|
|
;; -tip: use M-f and M-b for ease of navigation among elements.
|
|
|
|
;; - the difference between minibuffer-completion-table and
|
|
;; crm-completion-table is just crm--collection-fn. In most cases it
|
|
;; shouldn't make any difference. But if a non-CRM completion function
|
|
;; happens to be used, it will use minibuffer-completion-table and
|
|
;; crm--collection-fn will try to make it do "more or less the right
|
|
;; thing" by making it complete on the last element, which is about as
|
|
;; good as we can hope for right now.
|
|
;; I'm not sure if it's important or not. Maybe we could just throw away
|
|
;; crm-completion-table and crm--collection-fn, but there doesn't seem to
|
|
;; be a pressing need for it, and since Sen did bother to write it, we may
|
|
;; as well keep it, in case it helps.
