;;; Commentary:

;; Makes the cursor stay vertically in a defined position (usually
;; centered). The vertical position can be altered, see key definition
;; below.

;; To load put that in .emacs:
;;     (require 'centered-cursor-mode)
;; To activate do:
;;     M-x centered-cursor-mode
;; for buffer local or
;;     M-x global-centered-cursor-mode
;; for global minor mode.
;; Also possible: put that in .emacs
;;     (and
;;      (require 'centered-cursor-mode)
;;      (global-centered-cursor-mode +1))
;; to always have centered-cursor-mode on in all buffers.

;;; TODO:
;; - the code is a mess
;; - ccm-vpos-inverted doesn't work with ccm-vpos == 0, because first
;;   position from top is 0 and from bottom -1
;; - interactive first start isn't animated when calling global-...
;;   because it starts the modes for each buffer and interactive-p fails
;;   for that
;; - more bugs?

;;; Change Log:
;; 2015-10-01 Hinrik Örn Sigurðsson <hinrik.sig@gmail.com>
;;   * Avoided calling count-lines when unnecessary, which
;;     fixes slow scrolling in large files
;; 2015-03-01  andre-r
;;   * fixed bug where Emacs without X support (emacs-nox) didn't find mouse-wheel-mode
;; 2009-08-31  andre-r
;;   * replaced window-body-height with window-text-height
;;     (partially visible lines are not counted in window-text-height)
;;   * bug fixed in ccm-vpos-recenter
;;     (some parentheses where wrong after the last update)
;; 2009-02-23  andre-r
;;   * some simplifications
;; 2009-02-22  andre-r
;;   * some tips from Drew Adams:
;;     - new local variable coding:utf-8
;;     - made recenter-sequence a defvar
;;     - added groups scrolling and convenience
;;     - replaced mouse-4 and mouse-5 with
;;       mouse-wheel-up-event and mouse-wheel-down-event
;;     - added scroll-bar-toolkit-scroll to ccm-ignored-commands
;;     - made ccm-ignored-commands customisable
;;   * removed a bug where it didn't work with more than one window
;;     displaying the same buffer
;;   * added function for page up and down scrolling
;;     (standard ones didn't work well with this mode)
;;   * made the animation delay customisable
;;   * made the initial vertical position customisable
;;   * made the behaviour at the end of the file customisable
;; 2008-02-02  andre-r
;;   * fixed bug that led to wrong-type-argument
;;     when opening a new buffer
;;   * some other minor stuff
;; 2007-09-24  andre-r
;;   * added global minor mode
;; 2007-09-21  andre-r
;;   * not recentering at end of buffer
;;   * defvar animate-first-start-p
;; 2007-09-14  andre-r
;;   * inital release
