;; This file is not part of GNU Emacs.
;;; Commentary:
;; Deft is an Emacs mode for quickly browsing, filtering, and editing
;; directories of plain text notes, inspired by Notational Velocity.
;; It was designed for increased productivity when writing and taking
;; notes by making it fast and simple to find the right file at the
;; right time and by automating many of the usual tasks such as
;; creating new files and saving files.
;; Deft is open source software and may be freely distributed and
;; modified under the BSD license. Version 0.6 is the latest stable
;; version, released on June 26, 2015. You may download it
;; directly here:
;; * [deft.el](http://jblevins.org/projects/deft/deft.el)
;; To follow or contribute to Deft development, you can either
;; [browse](http://jblevins.org/git/deft.git) or clone the Git
;; repository:
;; git clone git://jblevins.org/git/deft.git
;; ![Deft 0.6 Screencast](http://jblevins.org/projects/deft/deft-v0.6.gif)
;; The Deft buffer is simply a file browser which lists the titles of
;; all text files in the Deft directory followed by short summaries
;; and last modified times. The title is taken to be the first line
;; of the file and the summary is extracted from the text that
;; follows. Files are, by default, sorted in terms of the last
;; modified date, from newest to oldest.
;; All Deft files or notes are simple plain text files where the first
;; line contains a title. As an example, the following directory
;; structure generated the screenshot above.
;;
;; % ls ~/.deft
;; about.txt browser.txt directory.txt operations.txt
;; ack.txt completion.txt extensions.org
;; binding.txt creation.txt filtering.txt
;;
;; % cat ~/.deft/about.txt
;; # About
;;
;; An Emacs mode for slicing and dicing plain text files.
;; Deft's primary operation is searching and filtering. The list of
;; files can be limited or filtered using a search string, which will
;; match both the title and the body text. To initiate a filter,
;; simply start typing. Filtering happens on the fly. As you type,
;; the file browser is updated to include only files that match the
;; current string.
;; To open the first matching file, simply press `RET`. If no files
;; match your search string, pressing `RET` will create a new file
;; using the string as the title. This is a very fast way to start
;; writing new notes. The filename will be generated automatically.
;; If you prefer to provide a specific filename, use `C-RET` instead.
;; To open files other than the first match, navigate up and down
;; using `C-p` and `C-n` and press `RET` on the file you want to open.
;; When opening a file, Deft searches forward and leaves the point
;; at the end of the first match of the filter string.
;; You can also press `C-o` to open a file in another window, without
;; switching to the other window. Issue the same command with a prefix
;; argument, `C-u C-o`, to open the file in another window and switch
;; to that window.
;; To edit the filter string, press `DEL` (backspace) to remove the
;; last character or `M-DEL` to remove the last "word". To yank
;; (paste) the most recently killed (cut or copied) text into the
;; filter string, press `C-y`. Press `C-c C-c` to clear the filter
;; string and display all files and `C-c C-g` to refresh the file
;; browser using the current filter string.
;; For more advanced editing operations, you can also edit the filter
;; string in the minibuffer by pressing `C-c C-l`. While in the
;; minibuffer, the history of previous edits can be cycled through by
;; pressing `M-p` and `M-n`. This form of static, one-time filtering
;; (as opposed to incremental, on-the-fly filtering) may be preferable
;; in some situations, such as over slow connections or on systems
;; where interactive filtering performance is poor.
;; By default, Deft filters files in incremental string search mode,
;; where "search string" will match all files containing both "search"
;; and "string" in any order. Alternatively, Deft supports direct
;; regexp filtering, where the filter string is interpreted as a
;; formal regular expression. For example, `^\(foo\|bar\)` matches
;; foo or bar at the beginning of a line. Pressing `C-c C-t` will
;; toggle between incremental and regexp search modes. Regexp
;; search mode is indicated by an "R" in the mode line.
;; Common file operations can also be carried out from within Deft.
;; Files can be renamed using `C-c C-r` or deleted using `C-c C-d`.
;; New files can also be created using `C-c C-n` for quick creation or
;; `C-c C-m` for a filename prompt. You can leave Deft at any time
;; with `C-c C-q`.
;; Unused files can be archived by pressing `C-c C-a`. Files will be
;; moved to `deft-archive-directory', which is a directory named
;; `archive` within your `deft-directory' by default.
;; Files opened with deft are automatically saved after Emacs has been
;; idle for a customizable number of seconds. This value is a floating
;; point number given by `deft-auto-save-interval' (default: 1.0).
;; Getting Started
;; ---------------
;; To start using it, place it somewhere in your Emacs load-path and
;; add the line
;; (require 'deft)
;; in your `.emacs` file. Then run `M-x deft` to start. It is useful
;; to create a global keybinding for the `deft` function (e.g., a
;; function key) to start it quickly (see below for details).
;; When you first run Deft, it will complain that it cannot find the
;; `~/.deft` directory. You can either create a symbolic link to
;; another directory where you keep your notes or run `M-x deft-setup`
;; to create the `~/.deft` directory automatically.
;; One useful way to use Deft is to keep a directory of notes in a
;; Dropbox folder. This can be used with other applications and
;; mobile devices, for example, [nvALT][], [Notational Velocity][], or
;; [Simplenote][] on OS X or [Editorial][], [Byword][], or [1Writer][]
;; on iOS.

;; Basic Customization
;; -------------------
;; You can customize items in the `deft` group to change the default
;; functionality.
;; By default, Deft looks for notes by searching for files with the
;; extensions `.txt`, `.text`, `.md`, `.markdown`, or `.org` in the
;; `~/.deft` directory. You can customize both the file extension and
;; the Deft directory by running `M-x customize-group` and typing
;; `deft`. Alternatively, you can configure them in your `.emacs`
;; file:
;; (setq deft-extensions '("txt" "tex" "org")
;; (setq deft-directory "~/Dropbox/notes"))
;; The first element of `deft-extensions' (or in Lisp parlance, the
;; car) is the default extension used to create new files.
;; By default, Deft only searches for files in `deft-directory' but
;; not in any subdirectories. Set `deft-recursive' to a non-nil value
;; to enable recursive searching for files in subdirectories:
;; (setq deft-recursive t)
;; You can easily set up a global keyboard binding for Deft. For
;; example, to bind it to F8, add the following code to your `.emacs`
;; file:
;; (global-set-key [f8] 'deft)
;; Reading Files
;; -------------
;; The displayed title of each file is taken to be the first line of
;; the file, with certain characters removed from the beginning. Hash
;; characters, as used in Markdown headers, and asterisks, as in Org
;; Mode headers, are removed. Additionally, Org mode `#+TITLE:` tags,
;; MultiMarkdown `Title:` tags, LaTeX comment markers (`%`), and
;; Emacs mode-line declarations (e.g., `-*-mode-*-`) are stripped from
;; displayed titles. This can be customized by changing
;; `deft-strip-title-regexp'.
;; More generally, the title post-processing function itself can be
;; customized by setting `deft-parse-title-function', which accepts
;; the first line of the file as an argument and returns the parsed
;; title to display in the file browser. The default function is
;; `deft-strip-title', which removes all occurrences of
;; `deft-strip-title-regexp' as described above.
;; For compatibility with other applications which use the filename as
;; the title of a note (rather than the first line of the file), set the
;; `deft-use-filename-as-title' flag to a non-`nil' value. Deft will then
;; use note filenames to generate the displayed titles in the Deft
;; file browser. To enable this, add the following to your `.emacs` file:
;; (setq deft-use-filename-as-title t)
;; Finally, the short summary that is displayed following the file
;; title can be customized by changing `deft-strip-summary-regexp'. By
;; default, this is set to remove certain org-mode metadata statements
;; such as `#+OPTIONS:` and `#+AUTHOR:'.
;; Creating Files
;; --------------
;; Filenames for newly created files are generated by Deft automatically.
;; The process for doing so is determined by the variables
;; `deft-use-filename-as-title' and `deft-use-filter-string-for-filename'
;; as well as the rules in the `deft-file-naming-rules' alist.
;; The possible cases are as follows:
;; 1. **Default** (`deft-use-filename-as-title' and
;; `deft-use-filter-string-for-filename' are both `nil'):
;; The filename will be automatically generated with prefix `deft-`
;; and a numerical suffix as in `deft-0.ext', `deft-1.ext', ...
;; The filter string will be inserted as the first line of the file
;; (which is also used as the display title).
;; 2. **Filenames as titles** (`deft-use-filename-as-title' is non-`nil'):
;; When `deft-use-filename-as-title' is non-`nil', the filter string
;; will be used as the filename for new files (with the appropriate
;; file extension appended to the end).
;; 3. **Readable filenames** (`deft-use-filename-as-title' is
;; `nil' but `deft-use-filter-string-for-filename' is non-`nil'):
;; In this case you can choose to display the title as parsed from
;; the first line of the file while also generating readable
;; filenames for new files based on the filter string. The
;; variable `deft-use-filter-string-for-filename' controls this
;; behavior and decouples the title display
;; (`deft-use-filename-as-title') from the actual filename. New
;; filenames will be generated from the filter string and
;; processed according to the rules defined in the
;; `deft-file-naming-rules' alist. By default, slashes are removed
;; and replaced by hyphens, but many other options are possible
;; (camel case, replacing spaces by hyphens, and so on). See the
;; documentation for `deft-file-naming-rules' for additional
;; details.
;; Titles inserted into files from the filter string can also be
;; customized for two common modes, `markdown-mode' and `org-mode', by
;; setting the following variables:
;; * `deft-markdown-mode-title-level' - When set to a positive
;; integer, determines how many hash marks will be added to titles
;; in new Markdown files. In other words, setting
;; `deft-markdown-mode-title-level' to `2` will result in new files
;; being created with level-2 headings of the form `## Title`.
;; * `deft-org-mode-title-prefix' - When non-nil, automatically
;; generated titles in new `org-mode' files will be prefixed with
;; `#+TITLE:`.
;; Other Customizations
;; --------------------
;; Deft, by default, lists files from newest to oldest. You can set
;; `deft-current-sort-method' to 'title to sort by file titles, case
;; ignored. Or, you can toggle sorting method using
;; `deft-toggle-sort-method'.
;; Incremental string search is the default method of filtering on
;; startup, but you can set `deft-incremental-search' to nil to make
;; regexp search the default.
;; Deft also provides a function for opening files without using the
;; Deft buffer directly. Calling `deft-find-file' will prompt for a
;; file to open, just like `find-file', but starting from
;; `deft-directory'. If the file selected is in `deft-directory', it
;; is opened with the usual deft features (automatic saving, automatic
;; updating of the Deft buffer, etc.). Otherwise, the file will be
;; opened by `find-file' as usual. Therefore, you can set up a global
;; keybinding for this function to open Deft files anywhere. For
;; example, to use `C-x C-g`, a neighbor of `C-x C-f`, use the
;; following:
;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-g") 'deft-find-file)
;; The faces used for highlighting various parts of the screen can
;; also be customized. By default, these faces inherit their
;; properties from the standard font-lock faces defined by your current
;; color theme.

;; ---------------
;; Thanks to Konstantinos Efstathiou for writing simplenote.el, from
;; which I borrowed liberally, and to Zachary Schneirov for writing
;; Notational Velocity, whose functionality and spirit I wanted to
;; bring to Emacs.
;; History
;; -------
;; Version 0.6 (2015-06-26):
;; * Recursive search in subdirectories (optional). Set
;; `deft-recursive' to a non-nil value to enable.
;; * Support for multiple extensions via the `deft-extensions' list.
;; As such, `deft-extension' is now deprecated.
;; * New variable `deft-create-file-from-filter-string' can enable
;; generation of new filenames based on the filter string. This decouples
;; the title display (`deft-use-filename-as-title') from the actual filename
;; generation.
;; * New variable `deft-file-naming-rules' allows customizing generation
;; of filenames with regard to letter case and handling of spaces.
;; * New variables `deft-markdown-mode-title-level' and
;; `deft-org-mode-title-prefix' for automatic insertion of title markup.
;; * Archiving of files in `deft-archive-directory'.
;; * Ability to sort by either title or modification time via
;; `deft-current-sort-method'.
;; * Update default `deft-strip-title-regexp' to remove the following:
;; - org-mode `#+TITLE:` tags
;; - MultiMarkdown `Title:` tags
;; - LaTeX comment markers (i.e., `%`)
;; - Emacs mode-line declarations (e.g., `-*-mode-*-`)
;; * Remove leading and trailing whitespace from titles.
;; * Disable visual line mode to prevent lines from wrapping.
;; * Enable line truncation to avoid displaying truncation characters.
;; * Show the old filename as the default prompt when renaming a file.
;; * Call `hack-local-variables' to read file-local variables when
;; opening files.
;; * Fixed several byte-compilation warnings.
;; * Bug fix: more robust handling of relative and absolute filenames.
;; * Bug fix: use width instead of length of strings for calculations.
;; * Bug fix: fix `string-width' error with empty file.
;; Version 0.5.1 (2013-01-28):
;; * Bug fix: creating files with `C-c C-n` when both the filter string and
;; `deft-use-filename-as-title' are non-nil resulted in an invalid path.
;; * Bug fix: killed buffers would persist in `deft-auto-save-buffers'.
;; Version 0.5 (2013-01-25):
;; * Implement incremental string search (default) and regexp search.
;; These search modes can be toggled by pressing `C-c C-t`.
;; * Default search method can be changed by setting `deft-incremental-search'.
;; * Support custom `deft-parse-title-function' for post-processing titles.
;; * The default `deft-parse-title-function' simply strips occurrences of
;; `deft-strip-title-regexp', which removes Markdown and Org headings.
;; * Open files in another window with `C-o`. Prefix it with `C-u` to
;; switch to the other window.
;; * For symbolic links, use modification time of taget for sorting.
;; * When opening files, move point to the end of the first match of
;; the filter string.
;; * Improved filter editing: delete (`DEL`), delete word (`M-DEL`),
;; and yank (`C-y`).
;; * Advanced filter editing in minibuffer (`C-c C-l`).
;; Version 0.4 (2011-12-11):
;; * Improved filtering performance.
;; * Optionally take title from filename instead of first line of the
;; contents (see `deft-use-filename-as-title').
;; * Dynamically resize width to fit the entire window.
;; * Customizable time format (see `deft-time-format').
;; * Handle `deft-directory' properly with or without a trailing slash.
;; Version 0.3 (2011-09-11):
;; * Internationalization: support filtering with multibyte characters.
;; Version 0.2 (2011-08-22):
;; * Match filenames when filtering.
;; * Automatically save opened files (optional).
;; * Address some byte-compilation warnings.
;; Deft was originally written by [Jason Blevins](http://jblevins.org/).
;; The initial version, 0.1, was released on August 6, 2011.
