ruby-mode.el

Asfand Yar Qazi

2/9/2005 8:41:00 AM

Hi,

Some things about the new ruby-mode.el in Ruby 1.8.2:

font-lock doesn't turn on by default unless I replace the line in
ruby-mode.el that reads (eval-when-compile (require 'cl)) with
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl) (require 'font-lock)). Is this how
it should be?

Ctrl-Q for word-wrapping comments no longer works! It used to word
wrap code as well as comments unless a new-line separated them, which
was junky but still at least it was something. It no longer works now
- what's up? Surely it should be possible to use the comment-wrapping
code from (for example) sh-mode?

Thanks,
Asfand Yar

ruby-mode.el does not always require font-lock, for example, it should
work with hilit19 as well, so that requiring it by eval-when-compile
is not suitable. I personally haven't seen the problem. I'm not sure
how to avoid your problem.

I don't think ruby-mode provides any Ctrl-Q binding, which is reserved
for quoted-insert. Or maybe you meant Meta-Q, which is not modified
by ruby-mode by default. Perhaps it belongs to your personal settings.

It's been a recurring problem for me, actually. I'll see if I can
find a fix, and post it to the group.

Sorry, that should have been Meta-Q. OK, I'll see if my personal
settings are bodged up.

Thanks for the reply (I feel like I've been talking to a celebrity :-)

Has a paren-mode kind of thing been considered for ruby-mode where
having the cursor over an "end" would highlight or blink the cursor
over the corresponding "begin", "while", etc. at the beginning of the
block? I think that would be very useful in the case where you have a
lot of blocks ending together, just as it is for many ending braces in
Perl, for example.

Arachno ruby 0.4 has very good feature (control-d control-m) that shows
matching end very clearly. Also it has identitation lines ala scite
so you'll understand code much quicker.

Does the new ruby-mode.el handle indentation of hanging um... whatsits
better?

What I mean is when I have code like so:

if (foo)
puts("This string is too long for one line, " +
"so I'm splitting it into two for readability")
end

That's how I want it indented. However, ruby-mode seems to want to
indent the continued line (starting with "so ...") so that instead of
the quotes lining up, instead ruby-mode wants to indent the second line
so that it continues after the + as in:

if (foo)
puts("This string is too long for one line, " +
"so I'm splitting it
into two for readability")
end

That's not what I'd expect at all, and not how Emacs handles this sort
of situation in the other modes I use. Does anybody know why it is this
way, and how to make it the way I want it to be?

The latest version does it a bit better:

if foo
puts('foo' +
'bar' +
'baz')
end

Not exactly what you want, but probably intentional. You can get the
latest version from CVS. The misc/ directory. Online at:

http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/...

If the strings are longer than "foo" does it still start 2 (or maybe
whatever your basic-indent setting is) spaces in? Or is the space
relative to the position of the +?

I can live with an extra indentation, but not with:

"foo is the Foo" +
"bar is the Bar"

While we are at it, is it possible to make xemacs always indent arrays as if they were contained in brackets?

This is how ruby-mode indents:

foo_bar_baz = [1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8]

foo_bar_baz = ([1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8])

This is what I want:

foo_bar_baz = [1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8]

regards,

Brian
