tarsius / dim-autoload Goto Github PK

Unlike the built-in font-lock keyword which only changes the appearance of the “autoload” substring of the autoload cookie line and repurposes the warning face also used elsewhere, the keyword added here changes the appearance of the complete line using a dedicated face.

That face is intended for dimming. While you are making sure your library contains all the required autoload cookies you can just turn the mode off.

To install the dimming keywords add this to your init file:

(global-dim-autoload-cookies-mode 1)

You might even want to dim the cookie lines some more by using a foreground color in dim-autoload-cookies-line that is very close to the default background color.

Additionally this package provides a mode which completely hides autoload cookies. To hide autoload cookies in the current buffer use hide-autoload-cookies-mode. A globalized mode also exists, but its use is discouraged. Also note that it doesn’t make sense to enable both global modes at the same time, or to enable both local modes in the same buffer.

Use the command cycle-autoload-cookies-visibility to cycle between the three possible styles in the current buffer, like so:

,-> Show -> Dim -> Hide -.
