This saves having to mouse over the error, which is a ;; keyboard user's annoyance. ;; ;; ------------------------------------------------------- ;; ;; This flymake-cursor module displays the flymake error in the ;; minibuffer, after a short delay. It is based on code I found roaming ;; around on the net, unsigned and unattributed. I suppose it's public ;; domain, because, while there is a "License" listed in it, there ;; is no license holder, no one to own the license. ;; ;; This version is modified slightly from that code. The post-command fn ;; defined in this code does not display the message directly. Instead ;; it sets a timer, and when the timer fires, the timer event function ;; displays the message. ;; ;; The reason to do this: the error message is displayed only if the ;; user doesn't do anything, for about one second. This way, if the user ;; scrolls through a buffer and there are myriad errors, the minibuffer ;; is not constantly being updated. ;; ;; If the user moves away from the line with the flymake error message ;; before the timer expires, then no error is displayed in the minibuffer. ;; ;; I've also updated the names of the defuns. They all start with flyc now. ;; ;;; Usage: ;; (require 'flymake-cursor) ;; You can, of course, put that in an eval-after-load clause. ;;; Code: (eval-when-compile (require 'flymake)) (defgroup flymake-cursor nil "Show flymake errors for current line in message area." :group 'tools) (defcustom flymake-cursor-error-display-delay 0.9 "Delay in seconds to wait before displaying flymake errors for the current line." :group 'flymake-cursor :type 'number) (defcustom flymake-cursor-number-of-errors-to-display 1 "Number of flymake errors to display if there are more than one.
