the Free Software Foundation) and its cousin
XEmacs.
This is in Netscape communicator's bookmarks file format. You can import this file into your communicator's bookmarks.
;; This package enhances the completion mechanism of Emacs by
;; allowing you to display information on completions.
;;
;; While entering an argument to a command which supports completion
;; in the minibuffer, by pressing `?', you see possible completions
;; of what you've entered so far. This is one of the standard features
;; of Emacs.
;;
;; With this package, you can see not only possible completions, but
;; also information on them (e.g. docstrings of elisp variables.)
;;
;; This package directly supports the following standard commands:
;;
;; bookmark-jump (C-x r b)
;; customize-group (M-x customize-group, also on the menu-bar)
;; customize-option (M-x customize-option, also on the menu-bar)
;; describe-function (C-h f)
;; describe-variable (C-h v)
;; execute-extended-command (M-x)
;; find-function (M-x find-function)
;; find-variable (M-x find-variable)
;; setenv (M-x setenv)
;; where-is (C-h w)
;;
;; As for the other commands, this package can guess, to some extent,
;; what's relevant as help information, based on knowledge of the type
;; of argument you are entering, so your custom commands and other
;; standard commands might work right off the bat without requiring
;; any configuration on your part. You can also add support for a command
;; by defining a "group" (a property list) for it,
;; see "How this package works" section.
;;; Requirements:
;; Tested with GNU Emacs 20.7.2 and XEmacs 21.1.9.
;;; Compatibility:
;; This package can work with `icomplete.el' and `complete.el'
;; (both of which also enhance the completion mechanism.)
;;; Change Log:
;; Version 3.13 (9 Dec 2000)
;; * Discovered the cause of `completing-read' problem of XEmacs described
;; in yesterdays change log.
;; The redefinition of `completing-read' done by evi.el distributed with
;; `lookup' package seems to corrupt the defadvise facility.
;; The problem was solved simply to load evi.el and completing-help.el
;; in that order in .emacs. The same problem would reappear whenever
;; another package tries to redefine advised functions (precisely, then
;; call the original function).
;; Version 3.11 (8 Dec 2000)
;; * Changed not to advise `completing-read' when running on XEmacs.
;; On XEmacs, using `defadvise' for `completing-read' causes
;; an unpredictable error. See the ";;; Bugs" section for specifics.
;; This means that completing-help won't work for some commands
;; on XEmacs any more.
;; Version 3.5 - 3.10
;; * Changed to use `minibuffer-prompt-end' if available for Emacs 21
;; Version 3.4 (29 Sep 2000):
;; * Nearly a complete rewrite
;; * Not compatible with the previous versions.
;; * Changed to use group symbols and property lists.
;; * Abolished weird format options.
;; * Wrote doc on how to add support for a command.
;; Call the viewers of Unix manual pages and GNU Info with completion.
;;
;; This package provides the `iman' command.
;; The `iman' command reads the name of a Unix manual page or an item of
;; GNU Info top directory in the minibuffer with completion, and shows
;; that page.
;;
;; The job of actually showing the page is done by calling the standard
;; viewers.
;;; Requirements:
;; Tested with GNU Emacs 20.6.2 and XEmacs 21.1.9 on Debian GNU/Linux.
;;
;; You need a man(1) program. You probably have one already if you
;; run a Unix like system.
;;; Enhancements:
;; completing-help.el (>= version 3.3)
;; With this packege, short descriptions on completions is displayed
;; by pressing <TAB> (XEmacs only) or `?' which looks like:
;; -----------------------------------------------------------------
;; Click mouse-2 on a completion to select it.
;; In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
;;
;; Possible completions are:
;; find(1) - search for files in a directory hierarchy
;; findaffix(1) - Interactive spelling checking
;; finding files: (find). Listing and operating on files that mat$
;; findoidjoins(1) - list joins on oids between PostgreSQL tabl$
;; findsuper(8) - No manpage for this program, utility or fu$
;; -----------------------------------------------------------------
;;; Change Log:
;; Version 2.22 (29 Sep 2000)
;; * Changed to support completing-help.el (>= version 3.3)
;; * Cleaned up some code.
;; * Added `iman-ignore-case'.
;; This package enhances Emacs's minibuffer completion mechanism.
;;
;; In short, this is icomplete.el + iswitchb.el +/- something.
;;
;; Features:
;; * supports 2 completion methods (prefix and substring matching).
;; Prefix matching is the Emacs's default completion method.
;; Substring matching is a completion method where all the
;; completion commands work in terms of a substring of the
;; all possible completions.
;; e.g. "buffer" matches "backup-buffer", "buffer-name",
;; ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
;; "exit-minibuffer", ...
;; ^^^^^^
;;
;; You can cycle through the completion methods by `C-n' and
;; `C-p' in the minibuffer.
;;
;; * displays possible completion candidates in the minibuffer.
;; e.g. When you enter `M-x apr', the minibuffer looks like
;; the following:
;; M-x apr[opos]{,-command,-documentation,-value,-zippy}
;;
;; * `RET' in the minibuffer picks the first candidate displayed.
;; e.g. `M-x apr RET' selects `apropos' command (and execute it).
;;
;; You can cycle through the candidates by `C-s' and `C-r'.
;;
;; When you want to give the exact string you entered, use `M-RET'
;; or `ESC RET'.
;;
;; * `C-c' in the minibuffer toggles case significance in completion.
;;
;; * supports faces (highlights the display).
;;
;; * supports customization per user command.
;;; Requirements:
;; Tested with GNU Emacs 20.7.2, GNU Emacs 21.0.91.1 and XEmacs 21.1.9.
;;; Compatibility:
;; complete.el
;; tab, space, ... is used for mcomplete-mode.
;; M-tab, M-SPACE, ... might work.
;;
;; completing-help.el (>= version 3.3)
;; With this packege, short descriptions on completions is displayed
;; by pressing `?'.
;;
;; icomplete.el
;; icomplete-mode gets turned off when mcomplete-mode is activated.
;;
;; ido.el (http://www.cua.dk/emacs.html)
;; Both work. ido commands take precedence.
;;
;; iswitchb.el
;; Both work. iswitchb commands take precedence.
;;; Change Log:
;; Version 1.5 (21 Aug 2004)
;; * Apply a patch from J.D. Smith which changes the way completion candidates
;; are sorted in subtring match method to combine the best of both
;; prefix and substring completion methods. By this change, completion
;; candidates which match the prefix are sorted to show up *before*
;; candidates which match in the middle.
;; So in substring match method, when you enter `M-x set-v', you get
;; M-x set-v<set-variable, set-visited-file-name customize-set-value,...>
;; Instead of
;; M-x set-v<customize-set-value, set-variable, set-visited-file-name,...>
;; Any comments are welcome about this change.
;; Version 0.20 (18 Dec 2003)
;; * To get along with howm 1.1, apply patch from HIRAOKA Kazuyuki <hira@ics.saitama-u.ac.jp>
;; * Correct doc error in the last line of Activation section
;; (`M-x turn-on-mcomplete-mode' should be `M-x turn-off-mcomplete-mode'),
;; which Stephen Eglen reported.
;; Version 0.18 (28 Oct 2001)
;; * Use `minibuffer-prompt-end' if available for Emacs 21
;; * Avoid "FSF Emacs" and use "GNU Emacs" since that seems more appropriate.
;; This package provides "Screen Lines" minor mode. ;; In this minor mode, the following standard commands work in terms of ;; screen lines, as opposed to text lines when they are called interactively. ;; ;; `beginning-of-line' (C-a) ;; `end-of-line' (C-e) ;; `next-line' (C-n, down) ;; `previous-line' (C-p, up) ;; `kill-line' (C-k) ;; ;; Screen Lines minor mode should be handy when you edit a file with ;; long lines. ;;; Requirements: ;; Tested with GNU Emacs 20.7.2 and XEmacs 21.1.12 on Debian GNU/Linux woody. ;;; Change Log: ;; Version 0.55 (9 Jan 2004) ;; * Modify Screen-lines-kill-line to work properly on GNU Emacs 21 when point ;; is at the beginning of a screen line. ;; ;; Version 0.52 (25 Dec 2000) ;; * Advised `kill-line' to use `Screen-lines-kill-line'. ;; * Changed the implementation of Screen-lines-beginning-of-line, ;; Screen-lines-end-of-line, screen-lines-current-column and ;; screen-lines-move-to-column to work more properly in outline-mode. ;; * Added turn-on-screen-lines-mode and turn-off-screen-lines-mode ;; * All the standard commands advised by this package work in terms of ;; screen lines only if they are called interactively irrespective of ;; the state of Screen Lines minor mode. (See `screen-lines-mode-p'.) ;; ;; Hopefully, this should solve compatibility problems with other ;; packages which call these commands, expecting their original behavior ;; (e.g. fontlock-lock.el). ;; ;; On the other hand, there are other packages which work more naturally ;; if they are under the influence of screen lines mode ;; (e.g. pc-select.el). ;; So I introduced `screen-lines-mode-commands' variable for them. ;; * Fixed a bug in screen-lines-move-to-column. ;; When a line ended with a tab, and the tab stretched over to ;; the next line by line folding, `Screen-lines-next-line' didn't ;; move point. ;; * Added enabled, disabled messages
;; This package provides a text based interface to the menubar.
;; In order to test this as you see this file, proceed as follows:
;; 1: Load this package: M-x eval-buffer
;; 2: Browse the menubar: M-x tmenu-menubar
;; 3: You see something like the following:
;; -------------------------------------------------------------
;; Click mouse-2 on a completion to select it.
;; In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
;;
;; Possible completions are:
;; b > Buffers f > Files
;; t > Tools e > Edit
;; s > Search m > Mule
;; E > Emacs-Lisp h > Help
;; -------------------------------------------------------------
;; 4: Press the first character (e.g. b for Buffers, E for Emacs-Lisp)
;; to select the menu item.
;; Enter C-g to exit the menu without selecting any item.
;;; Requirements:
;; Tested with GNU Emacs 20.7.2 and XEmacs 21.1.12.
;;; Change Log:
;; Version 0.23
;; * Fixed a bug where tmenu-merge-keymaps distroys some keymap entries
;; when the local keymap trys to undefine some of the global-map.
;; Version 0.22 (06 Dec 2000):
;; * First public release
