Re: Pop up reference card

Re: Pop up reference card

[lngndvs]

The following was my help for the /Cx-6 keymap.  I cleaned it up a
little, but it seems to also insert an expanded minibuffer on my
system, with a second copy of this momentarily displayed screen.  (The
functions were little utilities for a lexicon project).

Hope it makes it across.

Pop up reference card

[Alan E. Davis]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1647 bytes --]

Training wheels.  That's what I need.  One reason I like emacs so much.
Emacs-the self documenting text editor.

With abundant thanks to Kyle Sherman and his recently updated text org
card.  I was able to convert this to org-mode, and now have a command to pop
it up:

(defun org-help ()
  (interactive)
  (find-file "~/org/help.org"))
(define-key global-map "\C-c7" 'org-help)

Against my better judgement, I attach this file.  The reason I do not feel
comfortable is that I have edited some strokes out of it.  And it's not my
work, generally.

Now I have a question or suggestion.  How difficult would it be to have this
kind of pop-up help available and generated by org itself.

Some background: Some years ago, I made up a popup feature that would pop up
all my bindings for a certain prefix keymap.  For example, I had a \C-x6 as
a prefix, and this little card would display keybindings for all the
functions I bound to these keys.  I also do the same for several other
prefixes.  I bound this to be displayed when I typed \C-x6 [F1].   However,
due to a fortuitous event, I stopped writing these up.  I discovered that
for some reason, and for some prefix maps, inexplicably,  emacs itself has a
feature that does this automatically!!!!!!!!!!!!

The result for /C-c is far too limited to be useful for me for org mode, but
it does work.  The converted text reference card is a pretty good place to
start.  Perhaps org can be programmed to produce one of these.

Thank you Kyle, and everyone else who has contribued to this package.

Alan

** Commands available inside tables

  The following commands work when the cursor is inside a table.  Outside of
  tables, the same keys may have other functionality.

Re: Pop up reference card

[Sebastian Rose]

Hi Alan,

you could use the splash screen feature of emacs for this. I do this, to
display my own keyboard shortcuts (and those I tend to forget).

A screenshot of an older version is here:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SebastiansSplashScreenShot

I've bound C-M-k to show the keys and their descriptions. Any click or
keypress will hide them again.


To just add the table as plain text, you could do this:


(defun sr-display-keys()
  "Meine Tastenkürzel nach dem Start anzeigen"
  (interactive)
  (get-buffer-create "sr-info")
  (switch-to-buffer "sr-info" t)
  (with-current-buffer (get-buffer "sr-info")
    ;(setq left-margin-width 20)         ; Ränder sind immer Buffer-lokal
    (set-window-buffer (selected-window) "sr-info")
    (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
      (use-local-map map)
      ; (define-key map [t]) würde auf jedes Mausevent reagieren.
      (define-key map [mouse-1] 'sr-kill-startup-buffer) ; auf Klick reagieren.
      (define-key map [mouse-3] 'sr-kill-startup-buffer) ; auf Klick reagieren.
      (define-key map [mouse-2] 'sr-kill-startup-buffer) ; auf Klick reagieren.
      (define-key map [(control meta ?k)] 'sr-kill-startup-buffer)
      (setq cursor-type nil             ; No Cursor
            display-hourglass nil
            buffer-undo-list t)         ; No Undo.



      (insert "HERE GOES YOUR TEXT (SHORTCUT TABLE)")



      (insert "\n")
      (insert (propertize "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
                          'face
                          '( :weight bold :background "RosyBrown1" :foreground "black")))
      (insert "\n\n   Press Key Or Click To Get Rid Of This Buffer\n\n\n")
      (insert "                        ")
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (set-buffer-modified-p nil)
      (make-local-hook 'after-change-functions)
      (add-to-list 'after-change-functions 'sr-kill-startup-buffer)
      )))

That's a pretty good idea. But the code seems incomplete.
sr-kill-startup-buffer is not defined (symbol's function definition is
void).

Greetings

Hello

I find this the ideal way to display a short screen of shortcuts, and I will
work with it.  However, when I type any key, nothing happens.  Perhaps this
is related to Sven's message?

I had a popup screen, an ascii char code popup, and a tab popup.  I think I
can adapt them, if I can still find them.

Thank you for this information.

ALan
