+
+;;; 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.

+;;; 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:
