For example, if the +;; separator character is a comma, the strings 'alice', 'bob', and +;; 'eve' would be specified as 'alice,bob,eve'. + +;; The default value for the separator character is the value of +;; `crm-default-separator' (comma). The separator character may be +;; changed by modifying the value of `crm-separator'. + +;; Continguous strings of non-separator-characters are referred to as +;; 'elements'. In the aforementioned example, the elements are: +;; 'alice', 'bob', and 'eve'. + +;; Completion is available on a per-element basis. For example, if +;; the contents of the minibuffer are 'alice,bob,eve' and point is +;; between 'l' and 'i', pressing TAB operates on the element 'alice'. + +;; For the moment, I have decided to not bind any special behavior to +;; the separator key. In the future, the separator key might be used +;; to provide completion in certain circumstances. One of the reasons +;; why this functionality is not yet provided is that it is unclear to +;; the author what the precise circumstances are, under which +;; separator-invoked completion should be provided. + +;; Design note: `completing-read-multiple' is modeled after +;; `completing-read'. They should be similar -- it was intentional. + +;; Some of this code started out as translation from C code in +;; src/minibuf.c to Emacs Lisp code. + +;; Thanks to Richard Stallman for all of his help (many of the good +;; ideas in here are from him), Gerd Moellmann for his attention, +;; Stefan Monnier for responding with a code sample and comments very +;; early on, and Kai Grossjohann & Soren Dayton for valuable feedback. + +;;; Questions and Thoughts: + +;; -the author has gone through a number of test-and-fix cycles w/ +;; this code, so it should be usable. please let me know if you find +;; any problems. + +;; -should `completing-read-multiple' allow a trailing separator in +;; a return value when REQUIRE-MATCH is t? if not, should beep when a user +;; tries to exit the minibuffer via RET? + +;; -TODO: possibly make return values from `crm-do-completion' into constants + +;; -TODO: find out whether there is an appropriate way to distinguish between +;; functions intended for internal use and those that aren't. + +;; -tip: use M-f and M-b for ease of navigation among elements. + +;;; History: +;; +;; 2000-04-10: +;; +;; first revamped version + +;;; Code: +(defconst crm-default-separator "," + "Default separator for `completing-read-multiple'.") + +(defvar crm-separator crm-default-separator + "Separator used for separating strings in `completing-read-multiple'. +It should be a single character string that doesn't appear in the list of +completion candidates.
