;;; -*- Mode: Emacs-Lisp; outline-regexp: "\n;;;;+" -*-

;;;;;; Paredit: Parenthesis-Editing Minor Mode
;;;;;; Version 20

;;; This code is written by Taylor R. Campbell (except where explicitly
;;; noted) and placed in the Public Domain.  All warranties are
;;; disclaimed.

;;; Add this to your .emacs after adding paredit.el to /path/to/elisp/:
;;;
;;;   (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/elisp/")
;;;   (autoload 'paredit-mode "paredit"
;;;     "Minor mode for pseudo-structurally editing Lisp code."
;;;     t)
;;;   (add-hook '...-mode-hook (lambda () (paredit-mode +1)))
;;;
;;; Usually the ... will be lisp or scheme or both.  Alternatively, you
;;; can manually toggle this mode with M-x paredit-mode.  Customization
;;; of paredit can be accomplished with `eval-after-load':
;;;
;;;   (eval-after-load 'paredit
;;;     '(progn ...redefine keys, &c....))
;;;
;;; This should run in GNU Emacs 21 or later and XEmacs 21.5 or later.
;;; It is highly unlikely to work in earlier versions of GNU Emacs, and
;;; it may have obscure problems in earlier versions of XEmacs due to
;;; the way its syntax parser reports conditions, as a result of which
;;; the code that uses the syntax parser must mask *all* error
;;; conditions, not just those generated by the syntax parser.

;;; This mode changes the keybindings for a number of simple keys,
;;; notably (, ), ", \, and ;.  The bracket keys (round or square) are
;;; defined to insert parenthesis pairs and move past the close,
;;; respectively; the double-quote key is multiplexed to do both, and
;;; also insert an escape if within a string; backslashes prompt the
;;; user for the next character to input, because a lone backslash can
;;; break structure inadvertently; and semicolons ensure that they do
;;; not accidentally comment valid structure.  (Use M-; to comment an
;;; expression.)  These all have their ordinary behaviour when inside
;;; comments, and, outside comments, if truly necessary, you can insert
;;; them literally with C-q.
;;;
;;; These keybindings are set up for my preference.  One particular
;;; preference which I've seen vary greatly from person to person is
;;; whether the command to move past a closing delimiter ought to
;;; insert a newline.  Since I find this behaviour to be more common
;;; than that which inserts no newline, I have ) bound to it, and the
;;; more involved M-) to perform the less common action.  This bothers
;;; some users, though, and they prefer the other way around.  This
;;; code, which you can use `eval-after-load' to put in your .emacs,
;;; will exchange the bindings:
;;;
;;;   (define-key paredit-mode-map (kbd ")")
;;;     'paredit-close-parenthesis)
;;;   (define-key paredit-mode-map (kbd "M-)")
;;;     'paredit-close-parenthesis-and-newline)
;;;
;;; Paredit also changes the bindings of keys for deleting and killing,
;;; so that they will not destroy any S-expression structure by killing
;;; or deleting only one side of a bracket or quote pair.  If the point
;;; is on a closing bracket, DEL will move left over it; if it is on an
;;; opening bracket, C-d will move right over it.  Only if the point is
;;; between a pair of brackets will C-d or DEL delete them, and in that
;;; case it will delete both simultaneously.  M-d and M-DEL kill words,
;;; but skip over any S-expression structure.  C-k kills from the start
;;; of the line, either to the line's end, if it contains only balanced
;;; expressions; to the first closing bracket, if the point is within a
;;; form that ends on the line; or up to the end of the last expression
;;; that starts on the line after the point.
;;;
;;; Automatic reindentation is performed as locally as possible, to
;;; ensure that Emacs does not interfere with custom indentation used
;;; elsewhere in some S-expression.  It is performed only by the
;;; advanced S-expression frobnication commands, and only on the forms
;;; that were immediately operated upon (& their subforms).
;;;
;;; This code is written for clarity, not efficiency.  S-expressions
;;; are frequently walked over redundantly.  If you have problems with
;;; some of the commands taking too long to execute, tell me, but first
;;; make sure that what you're doing is reasonable: it is stylistically
;;; bad to have huge, long, hideously nested code anyway.
;;;
;;; Questions, bug reports, comments, feature suggestions, &c., can be
;;; addressed to the author via mail on the host mumble.net to campbell
;;; or via IRC on irc.freenode.net in the #paredit channel under the
;;; nickname Riastradh.

;;; This assumes Unix-style LF line endings.
