Hi @alienbogart !
I like your idea! The only issue is that i do not know how to make Emacs generates (and reacts) to an event like "the cursor is placed over some annotated text", three possible approaches maybe could be explored (not an exhaustive list below, these are just the ones coming to mind):
run-with-idle-timer
with an high frequency
I think # 2 is the best option, so i would starts exploring that. If you have some other idea let me know, of course! :)
Bye! C.
Hi @alienbogart !
I have added a few lines of code in this branch:
https://github.com/cage2/annotate.el/tree/print-message-annotate-under-point
The code will print the annotation under cursor in the minibuffer, if the text is annotated of course!
This branch is no more that a proof of concept, nevertheless i would be glad if you would be try it and tell me if the results of this patch are more or less the whet you expected from your suggestion.
Thanks in advance! C.
Hi @alienbogart !
I believe that the patch #137 implement your suggestion. Let me know it it does not!
Thanks again! C.
For example, leaving the cursor above the note would display its content in the echo area instead of requiring me to use the mouse. I don't really use the mouse on Emacs so it would be nice to be able to do this with the keyboard. Thanks!
