;; Created: 27 April 2003
;; Version: 0.6 (2012-10-23)
;; Package-Version: 20160227.1238
;; Keywords: keyboard chord input

;;; Commentary:

;; ########   Compatibility   ########################################
;;
;; Works with Emacs-20.3, 20.6, 20.7, 21.2, 21.4, 22.1 and 23.1
;; Does not work with Emacs-19.31 nor XEmacs-20.4 and 21.4.

;; ########   Quick start   ########################################
;;
;; Add to your ~/.emacs
;;
;;      (require 'key-chord)
;;      (key-chord-mode 1)
;;
;; and some chords, for example
;;
;;      (key-chord-define-global "hj"     'undo)
;;      (key-chord-define-global ",."     "<>\C-b")

;; ########   Terminology   ########################################
;;
;; In this package, a "key chord" is two keys pressed simultaneously,
;; or a single key quickly pressed twice.
;;
;; (Sometimes pressing SHIFT and/or META plus another key is call a chord,
;; but not here. However SHIFT plus two normal keys can be a "key chord".)

;; ########   Description   ########################################
;;
;; Key chord mode acts like a global minor mode controlled by the function
;; `key-chord-mode'.
;;
;; Key chord definitions are stored in ordinary key-maps.
;; The function `key-chord-define-global' defines a chord in the global
;; key-map and `key-chord-define' defines a chord in a specified key-map,
;; for example for a specific mode.
;;
;; A TWO-key chord is two distinct keys pressed simultaneously (within
;; one tenth of a second, or so).
;;
;; Examples:
;;
;;      (key-chord-define-global ",."     "<>\C-b")
;;      (key-chord-define-global "hj"     'undo)
;;      (key-chord-define-global [?h ?j]  'undo)  ; the same
;;      (key-chord-define-global "jk"     'dabbrev-expand)
;;      (key-chord-define-global "cv"     'reindent-then-newline-and-indent)
;;      (key-chord-define-global "4r"     "$")
;;
;; Comma and dot pressed together insert a pair of angle brackets.
;; `h' and `j' pressed together invoke the undo command.
;; `j' and `k' pressed together invoke the dabbrev-expand command.
;; 'c' and 'v' pressed together insert a newline.
;; `4' and `r' pressed together insert a dollar sign.
;;
;; A ONE-key chord is a single key quickly pressed twice (within one third
;; of a second or so). 
;;
;; Examples:
;;
;;      (key-chord-define-global "''"     "`'\C-b")
;;      (key-chord-define-global ",,"     'indent-for-comment)
;;      (key-chord-define-global "qq"     "the ")
;;      (key-chord-define-global "QQ"     "The ")
;;
;; Tick (') pressed twice inserts a back-tick and a tick (`').
;; Comma (,) pressed twice indents for and/or inserts a comment.
;; `q' pressed twice inserts the word "the ".
;;
;; Examples: Mode specific chords
;;
;;      (key-chord-define c++-mode-map ";;"  "\C-e;")
;;      (key-chord-define c++-mode-map "{}"  "{\n\n}\C-p\t")
;;
;; The command `key-chord-describe' lists currently defined key chords.
;; The standard command `describe-bindings' (C-h b) will also show key chords.
;;
;; The standard command `describe-key' (C-h k) will accept a key chord and
;; show its definition. (Isn't that amazing. There is no explicit code to
;; carry out this functionality.)

;; ########   Tips   ########################################
;;
;; Don't chord key combinations that exists in the languages you typically
;; write. Otherwise, if you are typing fast, two key intended to be separate
;; letters might instead trig a chord.
;; E.g. "uu" would be a good chord in spanish but not in finnish, and
;; "hj" would be a good chord in english but not in swedish. 
;;
;; Don't rely solely on /usr/dict/words to find unusual combination.
;; For example "cv" or "fg" can be quite common in certain kinds of
;; programming. Grep your own texts to verify that a combination is unusual.
;; And don't forget to check both permutations: "fg" and "gf".
;;
;; Choose two keys that are close to each other on the keyboard, so they
;; can be quickly typed without effort. Chords involving two hands (as
;; opposed to two fingers on one hand) are harder to type (quickly).
;; The idea is that key chords are to replace function keys for functions
;; that are frequently performed while the hands are in writing position.
;;
;; Key chords might not work well over a slow network.

;; ########   Limitations   ########################################
;;
;; When recording keyboard macros, the time between keyboard inputs are not
;; recorded. Thus, the key-chord-input-method cannot know for sure if two keys
;; in a macro was a chord or not. The current solution remembers the first key
;; of the chords typed during macro recording, and keys that match those (and
;; are defined as chords) are considered key-chords during macro execution.
;; This knowledge is not saved with `name-last-kbd-macro', so they may
;; execute wrong if they contain pair of keys that match defined chords.
;;
;; Emacs will not call input-method-function for keys that have non numeric
;; codes or whos code is outside the range 32..126. Thus you cannot define
;; key chords involving function keys, control keys, or even your non-english
;; letters (on national keyboards) that otherwise are well positioned for
;; chording on your keyboard.
;; (I think chording left and right arrow keys would be useful, but cannot do.
;; I consider this a bug in Emacs. Input methods could happily return
;; unmodified *any* key they don't know about.)
;;
;; Key chords longer that 2 keys are not supported. It could be done, but I
;; don't think it is worth the trubbel since most keyboards will not reliably
;; send all key codes when 3 or more keys are pressed simultaneously.
;; It might also be a bit trickier to maintain performance.
;;
;; Key chord mode uses input-method-function. And so do internationalisation
;; packages (mule, quail, etc). Do not expect them to work well together.
;; The last one that gets the input-method-function rules.

;; ########   Implementation   ########################################
;;
;; Key chords piggy back in ordinary key maps, so they can be defined
;; per mode without having to add hooks to all modes.
;;
;; Key chord key codes are vectors beginning with the atom `key-chord'.
;; A two key chord, e.g. "hj", will add two entries in the key-map.
;; E.g. [key-chord ?h ?j] and [key-chord ?j ?h].
;;
;; When key-chord-mode is enabled input-method-function is set to
;; key-chord-input-method.

;; ########   To do   ########################################
;;
;; * Find a way to save key-chord info in keyboard macros.
;;
;; * Save previous value of input-method-function? And call it?
;;
;; * input-method-function is reset in *info* buffers! What to do?
;;
;; * How to enter interactively command OR string in key-chord-define-global?
;;
;; * Customize public vars (defcustom).

  "Max time delay between two press of the same key to be considered a key chord.
This should normally be a little longer than `key-chord-two-keys-delay'.")

If non-nil, expand chord sequenses in macros, but only if a similar chord was

guesswork. We can't know for sure when executing whether two keys were
typed quickly or slowly when recorded.)")
