;;; Commentary:

;; This is the strokes package.  It is intended to allow the user to
;; control Emacs by means of mouse strokes.  Once strokes is loaded, you
;; can always get help be invoking `strokes-help':

;; > M-x strokes-help

;; and you can learn how to use the package.  A mouse stroke, for now,
;; can be defined as holding the middle button, for instance, and then
;; moving the mouse in whatever pattern you wish, which you have set
;; Emacs to understand as mapping to a given command.  For example, you
;; may wish the have a mouse stroke that looks like a capital `C' which
;; means `copy-region-as-kill'.  Treat strokes just like you do key
;; bindings.  For example, Emacs sets key bindings globally with the
;; `global-set-key' command.  Likewise, you can do

;; > M-x global-set-stroke

;; to interactively program in a stroke.  It would be wise to set the
;; first one to this very command, so that from then on, you invoke
;; `global-set-stroke' with a stroke.  likewise, there may eventually
;; be a `local-set-stroke' command, also analogous to `local-set-key'.

;; You can always unset the last stroke definition with the command

;; > M-x strokes-unset-last-stroke

;; and the last stroke that was added to `strokes-global-map' will be
;; removed.

;; Other analogies between strokes and key bindings are as follows:

;;    1) To describe a stroke binding, you can type

;;       > M-x describe-stroke

;;       analogous to `describe-key'.  It's also wise to have a stroke,
;;       like an `h', for help, or a `?', mapped to `describe-stroke'.

;;    2) stroke bindings are set internally through the Lisp function
;;       `define-stroke', similar to the `define-key' function.  some
;;       examples for a 3x3 stroke grid would be

;;       (define-stroke c-mode-stroke-map
;;                      '((0 . 0) (1 . 1) (2 . 2))
;;                      'kill-region)
;;       (define-stroke strokes-global-map
;;                      '((0 . 0) (0 . 1) (0 . 2) (1 . 2) (2 . 2))
;;                      'list-buffers)

;;       however, if you would probably just have the user enter in the
;;       stroke interactively and then set the stroke to whatever he/she
;;       entered. The Lisp function to interactively read a stroke is
;;       `strokes-read-stroke'.  This is especially helpful when you're
;;       on a fast computer that can handle a 9x9 stroke grid.

;;       NOTE: only global stroke bindings are currently implemented,
;;       however mode- and buffer-local stroke bindings may eventually
;;       be implemented in a future version.

;; The important variables to be aware of for this package are listed
;; below.  They can all be altered through the customizing package via

;; > M-x customize

;; and customizing the group named `strokes'.  You can also read
;; documentation on the variables there.

;; `strokes-minimum-match-score' (determines the threshold of error that
;; makes a stroke acceptable or unacceptable.  If your strokes arn't
;; matching, then you should raise this variable.

;; `strokes-grid-resolution' (determines the grid dimensions that you use
;; when defining/reading strokes.  The finer the grid your computer can
;; handle, the more you can do, but even a 3x3 grid is pretty cool.)
;; The default value (7) should be fine for most decent computers.
;; NOTE: This variable should not be set to a number less than 3.

;; `strokes-display-strokes-buffer' will allow you to hide the strokes
;; buffer when doing simple strokes.  This is a speedup for slow
;; computers as well as people who don't want to see their strokes.

;; If you find that your mouse is accelerating too fast, you can
;; execute the UNIX X command to slow it down.  A good possibility is

;; % xset m 5/4 8

;; which seems, heuristically, to work okay, without much disruption.

;; Whenever you load in the strokes package, you will be able to save
;; what you've done upon exiting Emacs.  You can also do

;; > M-x save-strokes

;; and it will save your strokes in ~/.strokes, or you may wish to change
;; this by setting the variable `strokes-file'.

;; Note that internally, all of the routines that are part of this
;; package are able to deal with complex strokes, as they are a superset
;; of simple strokes.  However, the default of this package will map
;; mouse button2 to the command `strokes-do-stroke', and NOT
;; `strokes-do-complex-stroke'.  If you wish to use complex strokes, you
;; will have to override this key mapping.  Complex strokes are terminated
;; with mouse button3.  The strokes package will not interfere with
;; `mouse-yank', but you may want to examine how this is done (see the
;; variable `strokes-click-command')

;; To get strokes to work as part of your your setup, then you'll have
;; put the strokes package in your load-path (preferably byte-compiled)
;; and then add the following to your .emacs file (or wherever
;; you put Emacs-specific startup preferences):

;;(and (fboundp 'device-on-window-system-p)
;;     (device-on-window-system-p)
;;     (require 'strokes))

;; Once loaded, you can start stroking.  You can also toggle between
;; strokes mode by simple typing

;; > M-x strokes-mode

;; I am now in the process of porting this package to Emacs.  I also hope
;; that, with the help of others, this package will be useful in entering
;; in pictographic-like language text using the mouse (i.e. Korean).
;; Japanese and Chinese are a bit trickier, but I'm sure that with help
;; it can be done.  The next version will allow the user to enter strokes
;; which "remove the pencil from the paper" so to speak, so one character
;; can have multiple strokes.

;; You can read more about strokes at:

;; http://www.mit.edu/people/cadet/strokes-help.html

;; If you're interested in using strokes for writing English into Emacs
;; using strokes, then you'll want to read about it on the web page above
;; or just download from http://www.mit.edu/people/cadet/strokes-abc.el,
;; which is nothing but a file with some helper commands for inserting
;; alphanumerics and punctuation.

;; Great thanks to Rob Ristroph for his generosity in letting me use his
;; PC to develop this, Jason Johnson for his help in algorithms, Euna
;; Kim for her help in Korean, and massive thanks to the helpful guys
;; on the help instance on athena (zeno, jered, amu, gsstark, ghudson, etc)
;; Special thanks to Steve Baur and Hrvoje Niksic for all their help.
;; And even more thanks to Dave Gillespie for all the elisp help--he
;; is responsible for helping me use the cl macros at (near) max speed.

;; Tasks: (what I'm getting ready for future version)...
;; 2) use 'strokes-read-complex-stroke for korean, etc.
;; 4) buffer-local 'strokes-local-map, and mode-stroke-maps would be nice
;; 5) 'list-strokes (kinda important).  What do people want?
;;    How about an optional docstring for each stroke so that a person
;;    can examine the strokes-file and actually make sense of it?
;;    (e.g. "This stroke is a pentagram")
;; 6) add some hooks, like `strokes-read-stroke-hook'
;; 7) See what people think of the factory settings.  Should I change
;;    them?  They're all pretty arbitrary in a way.  I guess they
;;    should be minimal, but computers are getting lots faster, and
;;    if I choose the defaults too conservatively, then strokes will
;;    surely dissapoint some people on decent machines (until they
;;    figure out M-x customize).  I need feedback.
;; Other: I always have the most beta version of strokes, so if you
;;        want it just let me know.

then you can set `strokes-minimum-match-score' to something that works

;;; Advice for various functions...

;; I'd originally wanted to write a macro that would just take in the
;; generic functions which use mouse button2 in various modes.  Most of
;; them are identical in form: they take an event as the single argument
;; and then do their thing.  I tried writing a macro that looked
;; something like this, but failed.  Advice just ain't that easy.  The
;; one that bugged me the most was `Manual-follow-xref', because that had
;; &rest arguments, and I didn't know how to work around it in defadvice.
;; However, I was able to fix up most of the important modes (i.e. the
;; ones I use all the time).  One `bug' in the program that I just can't
;; seem to figure out is why I can only advise other button2 functions
;; successfully when the variable `strokes-use-strokes-buffer' is nil.  I
;; did all the save-excursion/save-window-excursion stuff SPECIFICALLY so
;; that using the strokes buffer or not would absolutely not affect any
;; other part of the program.  If someone can figure out how to make the
;; following advices work w/ regardless of that variable
;; `strokes-use-strokes-buffer', then that would be a great victory.  If
;; someone out there would be kind enough to make the commented code
;; below work, I'd be grateful.  By the way, I put the `protect' keywords
;; there to insure that if a stroke went bad, then
;; `strokes-click-command' would be set back.  If this isn't necessary,
;; then feel free to let me know.

;; For what follows, I really wanted something that would work like this:

;;(strokes-fix-button2 'vm-mouse-button-2)

;; Or even better, I could have simply done something like:

;;(mapcar 'strokes-fix-button2

------------------------------------------------------------

** Strokes...

The strokes package allows you to define strokes, made with
the mouse or other pointer device, that Emacs can interpret as
corresponding to commands, and then executes the commands.  It does
character recognition, so you don't have to worry about getting it
right every time.

Strokes are easy to program and fun to use.  To start strokes going,
you'll want to put the following line in your .emacs file as mentioned
in the commentary to strokes.el.

This will load strokes when and only when you start Emacs on a window
system, with a mouse or other pointer device defined.

To toggle strokes-mode, you just do

> M-x strokes-mode

** Strokes for controling the behavior of Emacs...

When you're ready to start defining strokes, just use the command

> M-x global-set-stroke

You will see a ` *strokes*' buffer which is waiting for you to enter in
your stroke.  When you enter in the stroke, you draw with button1 or
button2, and then end with button3.  Next, you enter in the command
which will be executed when that stroke is invoked.  Simple as that.
For now, try to define a stroke to copy a region.  This is a popular
edit command, so type

> M-x global-set-stroke

Then, in the ` *strokes*' buffer, draw the letter `C' (for `copy'\)
and then, when it asks you to enter the command to map that to, type

> copy-region-as-kill

That's about as hard as it gets.
Remember: paint with button1 or button2 and then end with button3.

If ever you want to know what a certain strokes maps to, then do

> M-x describe-stroke

and you can enter in any arbitrary stroke.  Remember: The strokes
package lets you program in simple and complex, or multi-lift, strokes.
The only difference is how you *invoke* the two.  You will most likely
use simple strokes, as complex strokes were developed for
Chinese/Japanese/Korean.  So the middle mouse button, button2, will
invoke the command `strokes-do-stroke' in buffers where button2 doesn't
already have a meaning other than its original, which is `mouse-yank'.
But don't worry: `mouse-yank' will still work with strokes.  See the
variable `strokes-click-command'.

If ever you define a stroke which you don't like, then you can unset
it with the command

> M-x strokes-unset-last-stroke

Your strokes are stored as you enter them.  They get saved in a file
called ~/.strokes, along with other strokes configuration variables.
You can change this location by setting the variable `strokes-file'.
You will be prompted to save them when you exit Emacs, or you can save
them with

> M-x save-strokes

Your strokes get loaded automatically when you enable `strokes-mode'.
You can also load in your user-defined strokes with

> M-x load-user-strokes

** A few more important things...

o The command `strokes-do-stroke' is also invoked with M-button2, so that you
  can still enter a stroke in modes which use button2 for other things,
  such as cross-referencing.

o Strokes are a bit computer-dependent in that they depend somewhat on
  the speed of the computer you're working on.  This means that you
  may have to tweak some variables.  You can read about them in the
  commentary of `strokes.el'.  Better to just use apropos and read their
  docstrings.  All variables/functions start with `strokes'.  The one
  variable which many people wanted to see was
  `strokes-use-strokes-buffer' which allows the user to use strokes
  silently--without displaying the strokes.  All variables can be set
  by customizing the group named `strokes' via the customization package:
