I'm sure I have read somewhere that the {{{ ... ok, wrong :) in a way, it's half right. first: I don't think I know the real rationale behind having this in PEAR, but "// {{{ <function name>" can be used for easier source navigation in Emacs: [this is my personal setup. Emacs purists will say I'm doing needless and inconsistent keybinding. :) ] (global-set-key (kbd "M-<left>") 'fold-hide) (global-set-key (kbd "M-<right>") 'fold-show) (global-set-key (kbd "M-C-h") 'fold-whole-buffer) (add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'folding-mode) ;; Folding setup, shamelessly stolen from borud (require 'folding (expand-file-name "~/elisp/folding.el")) (setq fold-mode-marks-alist '((c++-mode "// {{{ " "// }}}") (perl-mode "# {{{ " "# }}}") ...)) the file folding.el defines folding mode. I use version 1.6, by Jamie Lokier. oh, and setting the variable paragraph-start to a suitable regexp will allow you to use the forward-/backward-paragraph functions (by default bound to C-<up>/-<down> and M-{/M-}) to move quickly to functions. tomorrow I'll tell you all about my recent dabbrev-expand revelation. :) -- Øyvind Møll oyvindmo@initio.no
