- ;;; auto-show.el --- perform automatic horizontal scrolling as point moves
- ;;; This file is in the public domain.
-
- ;;; Keywords: scroll display minor-mode

- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;;; This file provides functions that
- ;;; automatically scroll the window horizontally when the point moves
- ;;; off the left or right side of the window.
-
- ;;; Once this library is loaded, automatic horizontal scrolling
- ;;; occurs whenever long lines are being truncated.
- ;;; To request truncation of long lines, set the variable
- ;;; Setting the variable `truncate-lines' to non-nil.
- ;;; You can do this for all buffers as follows:
- ;;;
- ;;; (set-default 'truncate-lines t)
-
- ;;; Here is how to do it for C mode only:
- ;;;
- ;;; (set-default 'truncate-lines nil) ; this is the original value
- ;;; (defun my-c-mode-hook ()
- ;;; "Run when C-mode starts up. Changes ..."
- ;;; ... set various personal preferences ...
- ;;; (setq truncate-lines t))
- ;;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook)
- ;;;
- ;;;
- ;;; As a finer level of control, you can still have truncated lines but
- ;;; without the automatic horizontal scrolling by setting the buffer
- ;;; local variable `auto-show-mode' to nil. The default value is t.
- ;;; The command `auto-show-mode' toggles the value of the variable
- ;;; `auto-show-mode'.
-
- ;;; Code:
-
- (defvar auto-show-mode t
- "*Non-nil enables automatic horizontal scrolling, when lines are truncated.
- The default value is t. To change the default, do this:
- (set-default 'auto-show-mode nil)
- See also command `auto-show-mode'.
- This variable has no effect when lines are not being truncated.")

-
- (defvar auto-show-show-left-margin-threshold 50
- "*Threshold column for automatic horizontal scrolling to the right.
- If point is before this column, we try to scroll to make the left margin
- visible. Setting this to 0 disables this feature.")
